use admin domain as user domain

[piziwate]

Hello !

I'm trying ispCP RC2 on Debian Etch and I don't understand why the bind server couldn't resolve the admin.domain.tld !

domain.tld is the main admin domain. I use it as user domaine as well (to show some pages about the server) The domain.tld works fine !

I'm sure that the problem comes from the DNS server. Everything works well if I put the admin.domain.tld in my local hosts file.

My ispcp.conf file :

Code:

...
SERVER_HOSTNAME = domain.tld
BASE_SERVER_VHOST = admin.domain.tld
...

My named.conf file :

Code:

...
// dmn [admin.domain.tld] cfg entry BEGIN.
zone "admin.domain.tld" {
        type    master;
        file    "/var/cache/bind/admin.domain.tld.db";
        notify  YES;
};
// dmn [admin.domain.tld] cfg entry END.

// dmn [domain.tld] cfg entry BEGIN.
zone "domain.tld" {
        type    master;
        file    "/var/cache/bind/domain.tld.db";
        notify  YES;
};
// dmn [domain.tld] cfg entry END.
...

If I remove the admin.domain.tld zone and add admin as sub domain in the domain.tld zone, that's work. But that couldn't be a permanent change (named.conf will be updated by ispCP)

I will appreciate your help or yours comments !

Best Regards

SERVER_HOSTNAME = domain.tld

A hostname is not a domain name. It should rather look like this:
panel.domain.tld (or whatever the real *host*name is.

I think then it should be possible to use
admin.domain.tld for ispcp and a normal domain account with domain.tld

Hello !

Thank you for your answer.

I put :
SERVER_HOSTNAME = host-srv01

and changed my /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 host-srv01.local localhost
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx host-srv01

But it still not working. The admin.domain.tld is not resolved !!

Code:

host-srv01:~# nslookup domain.tld
Server:         127.0.0.1
Address:        127.0.0.1#53

Name:   domain.tld
Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

----------------------------------------------------
host-srv01:~# nslookup admin.domain.tld
Server:         127.0.0.1
Address:        127.0.0.1#53

** server can't find admin.domain.tld: SERVFAIL

An idear ?

Thank you for your answer.

I put :

better:
SERVER_HOSTNAME = host-srv01.domain.tld
a "full qualified host name" is needed

see mine:

Maybe you have to go through the configuration of bind.
have a look at /etc/bind/named.conf and /var/cache/bind/*

There should be one zonefile (.db) for each domain created and one for the ISPCP-SERVER-NAME (admin.domain.tld.db).

Thank you, I changed configs...

There is a db file for the domain and for admin.domain.

Here is my admin.domain.tld.db file :

Code:

$TTL 86400
@       IN      SOA     ns.admin.domain.tld. root.admin.domain.tld
. (
; dmn [admin.domain.tld] timestamp entry BEGIN.
                        2007103000
; dmn [admin.domain.tld] timestamp entry END.
                        8H
                        2H
                        4W
                        1D
)
                IN      NS      ns1.admin.domain.tld.
                IN      NS      ns2.admin.domain.tld.
                IN      MX      10 mail.admin.domain.tld.

admin.domain.tld.        IN      A       123.456.789.111
admin.domain.tld.        IN      TXT     "v=spf1 a mx ip4:123.456.789.111~all"
ns1             IN      A       123.456.789.111
ns2             IN      A       123.456.789.111
mail            IN      A       123.456.789.111
localhost       IN      A       127.0.0.1
webmail CNAME   admin.domain.tld.
ftp             CNAME   admin.domain.tld.
; sub [{SUB_NAME}] entry BEGIN.
; sub [{SUB_NAME}] entry END.

Is there something wrong ?

Seems ok.

so, if you ask your own server about admin.domain.tld then you should get an answer.

Maybe your server uses other DNS for name resolving - see /etc/resolve.conf.
