what version of plesk are you using

Tex

i just upgraded to 7.1.4

when i click server at the left a new window comes up named
Server administration
ipaliasing is at the very top next to the system time when i click that it shows all the ip's that are bound to my server.
I am using psa v7.0.2

Next to the system time on that window is an icon that says "IP Addresses", I think maybe that replaced the IP Aliasing thing for plesk 7.0.x...

I guess I'll just try to use that somehow, I'm not really sure how, though

Thanks for all the help Tex, I appreciate it.

USING PLESK 7.14 RELOADED.
I need to configure an OWN NAMESERVERS system (because i need Wildcarded Subdomains).
Someone can verify if my settings are correct ?

I need to choose for the domains example forum99.com and edecameron.com the NameServers ns1.forum99.com and ns2.forum99.com .
ns1.forum99.com has IP 67.15.58.10
ns2.forum99.com has IP 67.15.58.237

For the domain forum99.com i have this DSN :

I have been waitting for 48 hours but nothing happens

I will appreciate our help.

Following in the footsetps of Jared Stenquist, I have created an updated guide to managing DNS. It's basically just updated to be more familiar to Plesk Reloaded and later versions of Plesk users.

So, here it is!
Nameserver Tutorial

Let me know if there are any mistakes in it!
Email me.

I have scanned all the posts here on setting up nameservers but still cannot find any that show how to setup nameservers for plesk on two different boxes.

I run about 20 servers with somewhere around 200 domains, I would like to setup name servers on two of these (prolly split between the two DCs too) and use those nameservers to host the DNS records for all my domains. It would also be nice to have these two nameservers auto-replicate any changes.

Can anyone outline how this can be done. I can't seem to find how to add records to DNS for domains and IP addresses not hosted on that server.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey Luke,

Take a trip over to the AtomicRocketTurtle site. In the Projects section there you'll find a script for managing automatic secondary DNS.

thanks for the link, it looks like that is a perfect solution for auto-managing dns over two servers....its a start but what I would like to do is manage dns for domains on 20+ servers.

Something i found very interesting in that tutorial is that it states "this is entirely done external to PSA" and uses bind, so I am off to look for more info on bind!

here is how i have now my dns templates, they work flawlessly you should try them

A .
A webmail..
MX . mail..
A mail..
A ftp..
NS . ns1.yournameserver.com.
NS . ns2.yournameserver.com.
PTR .
TXT . "v=spf1 a mx ptr"
A sitebuilder..

the A sitebuilder. is because i have sitebuilder installed (not working as nothing that isnt unfamiliar with sw-soft programs some times).

best regards,

My DNS

OK ? ..!

It should look like this:

. A

. NS ns2.yournameserver.com.
. TXT "v=spf1 a mx ptr"
/ 24 PTR .

OK.. . ?

remove the red ones from your template and you will be fine, also edit via mysql shell the TXT record, or via phpmyadmin and add some spaces like this . TXT "v=spf1 a mx ptr" .

dont forget

try to edit this record

via phpmyadmin, or from the shell

and make it this

. TXT "v=spf1 a mx ptr"

my plesk version 7.1.5 . TXT "v=spf1amxptr"
not . TXT "v=spf1 a mx ptr"
now plesk version 7.5.1 is not problem ...!

JLChafardet thanks for your help ( Bana yardýmlarýn için teþekkür ederim . )

my pleasure to help.

my box came with 2 IP's. do i need 2 seperate for the nameservers?

no those 2 are good enough.

regards,

can i put sites on those same 2 IP's or do 2 IP's have to be designated for the nameservers only?

yes you can use those ips to host domains also.

regards,

i ordered 2 additional IP's for my 2 nameservers. when i go in to
server > IP Addresses, it only allows me to add 1 additional besides the main IP that is already listed there. do i need to add the 2 new IP's somewhere?

thanks

my plesk does not have an area for IP aliasing. what should i do?

just be sure and bind the new ip's to your server

she didn't miss it, its just the guide from the begining is outdated
plesk has made some changes since this thread first started

i was able to get my template looking similar to the examples in this thread as well as on http://www.jaredweb.com/tutorials/dns/index.html

when i go in to server > ip addresses, the main IP is listed. i have 2 new ip's that i was going to use for the nameservers, but it will only let me add 1 more ip there.

where do i bind my new ip's?

thanks

login to plesk
on the left side under system click server,
then under server Administration click
ip addresses, then click add new ip put in the ip
and the subnet mask choose shared or exclusive
click ok and your done

server -> ip addresses -> add ip address

as many times as ip addresses ev1 have assigned to you

it only allows me to add 1 in addition to the main IP that is already there. i have 4 IP's i want to add, but i can only have 2 total there.

are you trying to add them to the server or to the ip pool
of the client

what version of plesk are you running

http://download1.sw-soft.com/Plesk/Plesk7....ml/ch03s03.html

to the server. i'm using the newest version of plesk

click on the link and see if that helps

http://download1.sw-soft.com/Plesk/Plesk7....ml/ch03s04.html

yeah follow that link, it will explain exactly what do you need to do to add ips to your server.

now, keep in mind, you will have to add 2 A records for the domain where you will create the nameservers..

example:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ip1
yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy ip2

go to domain.tld -> DNS -> Add A record

ns1.domain.tld - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
ADD(create cant remember the button label)

then again repeat the Add A Record

ns2.domain.tld - yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

then you are all set.

best regards,

What happen if when i try to add all that records, system sometimes gives me an alert:

"DNS Record type invalid"

I don't know why, i'm trying to add records as in the first post and like this link

http://www.jaredweb.com/tutorials/dns/index.html

My Plesk version is 7.5 Reloaded.

Thanks

give a try to the default dns template and add looking on my template the ones you dont have, they works with no problem

regards,

This is my configuration right now


Is this right?, cause evryone sets their DNSs so different....



What means this line?

What must i set there for new domains hosted at my own DNS?

This is the best guide so far Finally got my NS configured. Thanks to all that contributed

With this system could I create a wilcards like *.myste.com that reach mysite.com?

Hello,
I am new in this and because that I read and do what you say. Do I must now to delete other fields that I have in my dns area:
ns.mn-host.com. A 66.98.180.7
mn-host.com. NS ns.mn-host.com.

and ftp is CNAME, do I must to put that to be A
ftp.mn-host.com. CNAME mn-host.com.


Thank you,
regards Mladen

my dns template is as follows:

http://www.chafardet.com/plesk_dns_template.gif

that is how it should look.

regards,

Okay, I've read through all that it here in the forums, I've changed a few things, and my main problem is that the mail servers which initially appeared to be working fine, now just time out. Mail is being bounced to these addresses @lexoweb.co.uk

Mail errors are:
Final-Recipient: RFC822; nominet@lexoweb.co.uk
Action: failed
Status: 4.4.7
Remote-MTA: DNS; mail.lexoweb.co.uk
Last-Attempt-Date: Sun, 22 May 2005 09:28:09 -0700 (PDT)

And trying with http://www.dnsreport.com/

everything that should pass, passes except it can't connect to the mail servers.

It all looks fine to me.... I did have a whole set of four reverse look-ups but took them out. It's driving me BANANAS. Any help would be greatly hugely appreciated, thanks

James

With whom did u register you domains with. They must have provided you some kind of control pannel.You can register your own name servers from the registrars control pannel.

I have fill out the DNS zone template . But i have something like
mynameserver.net.. The text will not remove.

Normal ??

Thanks
FDR

Did you saw the screenshot i posted?

That is how plesk works more optimus in what DNS template concerns.

Please take a look at it

http://www.chafardet.com/plesk_dns_template.gif

That way i have been working for over a year now with no problems and all my domains in dnsstuff/dnsreport showes up great.

Best regards,

I also do not have the ip alias option in my version of plesk, which is i think 7.5.4

ok at plesk i add the recrods mynameserver.com NS ns1.mynameserver.com
mynameserver.com NS ns2. mynameserver.com and the others.
at the registar i have to point the domain name at ns1.mynameserver.com and ns2. mynameserver.com ?

How can I add a subdomain: sub.example.com to resolve by a different ns server ex: ns1.mydyndns.org and ns2.mydyndns.org ?


Is the following ok?

sub.example.com 14400 NS ns1.mydyndns.org
sub.example.com 14400 NS ns2.mydyndns.org

How long does it take to I actually see if it works?

Thanks...

I'm new to this whole game as well, and I have to say its been taking me a while to find this answer...its not even in the plesk install/admin manual...at least I didn't find it...so thank you Ladyhawk for the above tutorial, and thanks to everyone who asked the questions for clarification!!!

Now another Question --

I just had my server setup, and had the following problems with domain name transfers. The main domain is www.mydomain.net, and is currently pointed at the following name servers at EV1: dns1.ev1servers.net & dns2.ev1servers.net.

I have a total of 3 IP addresses. One shared and two exclusive. The other nameservers that are set up are dns1.mydomain.net & dns2.mydomain.net.

After registering my two exclusive IP addresses to the dns1.mydomain.net & dns2.mydomain.net name servers...Is it appropriate to now point www.mydomain.net from dns1.ev1servers.net & dns2.ev1servers.net to dns1.mydomain.net & dns2.mydomain.net?

Also, What must then be done with the domain that was initially created? Must it be deleted then added again?

Thanks to all for the help once again!!!
