DNS/NAMESERVERS Setup

[Largo]

Ok i've got ISPCP Omega installed on my server, but i need to know how i can setup name servers for my server with ISPCP, i've got a domain registered at Godaddy, could someone help me out step by step?

Do you have the server in your home, behind a NAT router?

If this is the case, then you have to use godaddy's DNS service (TotalDNS if I recall correctly). You can find it somewhere among all the mess that their panel has. Once open, create the following records:

Type: A Name: (empty) IP: your.public.ip.addr
Type: A Name: www IP: your.public.ip.addr
Type: A Name: mail IP: your.public.ip.addr
Type: CNAME Name: pop3 Value: mail
Type: CNAME Name: smtp Value: mail
Type: MX Priority: 10 Name: (empty) Value: mail

This should be enough to get you running (don't forget to click the "save" button and wait a few minutes).

If the server is NOT behind a NAT router (it's in a datacenter), you can actually use ispcp's DNS service. To do that, just go to the "nameservers" section and setup {ns1,ns2}.yourdomain.com as the nameservers, both pointing to your public address. Wait some time and that's it too.

Yes it's hosted at a Datacenter. Where is the nameservers section?

[Largo]

I've looked and looked and i still cannot find the nameservers section, perhaps i'm doing something wrong?

[kilburn]

Maybe I was not clear enough. You should look for how to setup the nameservers *in the godaddy's website*, not in the panel...

You should use a DNS service provider for your domain. Then use your own DNS server as hidden primary, and allow transfers and also remember also-notify. It worked for me with gratisdns.dk. My domains are set up and registered at gratisdns.dk. Then i choose my domains to use my own DNS server as a seconday DNS setup. Setting up hidden primary is very easy.

Qwalk that's great and all, but i don't really want to pay a company for DNS Service. If the devs think i can do it from GoDaddy I'm going to try that, i'm just wondering though for IspCP Omega how many IPs should i have when installing the Control Panel, should i have 1, 2, 3, 4? Is there even a set number to have. I just want to get this panel working with proper DNS and IPs.

So i got another ip from my service provider and i follow this:

& this http://isp-control.net/documentation/how...aneous:dns
But when i reload bind9 it gives me this.


Stopping domain name service...: bind9rndc: connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953: connection refused.
Starting domain name service...: bind9 failed!

Any ideas?

I am with GoDaddy aswell, I just setup ispCP and then went to my GoDaddy account and set NS1.DOMAIN.TLD to my ip and NS2.DOMAIN.TLD to my IP and all works fine. I know it's not good to use the same DNS for both, but it's working for now and will work for me till I setup the 2 external dns servers and work out how to get ispCP to update those external DNS Servers.
