DNS-only cpanel server problem

[gundamz]

Hi all,

I had bought a small server and plan to use it to DNS purpose. I manage to setup the server installing cpanel DNS-only package.

on the server, port 53, 2086, 953 are open for DNS & whm purpose.

One of my test nameserver called it ns0.domain.com is set to point to this server.

ns0.domain.com is set as 1.2.3.4.5.6
1.2.3.4.5.6 is the server ip.

I had setup the master server to sync zone records and the .db files to this dns server every few mintues.

Here, i tested using one domain (xyz.com)

Somehow, after 24 hours, xyz.com still doesn't load up...

I had no ideas why this setup doesn't work as what i did before for another cpanel server(not DNS-only version) i had...

Maybe i had miss out something.

I can't figure what i am doing wrong...

Any tech had handle this before, can enlighten me on this?
Thanks.

Did you query your domain at dnsreport.com ?

Hi ramprage,

yup. i tested with DNSreport.com . it say it did not return a positive result.

weird thing is, i had omit the version and yet dnsreport report i am using 9.2.4 .
could it be that i am updating the wrong named.conf ?

/etc/named.conf should be the correct one... how come dnsreport.com report the version of my bind(which i had omit in the named.conf)

ok..

Ok. an update. i had installed bind rpm before i went to install cpanel DNS package.. so i think this is the problem.

Now, i had uninstall bind rpm... and reinstall cpanel dns package..

Everything look good. However, doing "service named status" show,
rndc: connect failed: connection refused


I have no ideas why this happen. Is there anyway that i can clean up or force reinstall cpanel DNS package?

Here's the log:

You should be able to do it by removing all bind rpms and then run /scripts/sysup

hmm.. i had fix the problem by running the script provided by cpanel.. :P what a mess ..

rndc: connect failed: connection refused

/scripts/fixndc usually solves this.
