Hello,

if your hostname is server1.yourdomain.com
WHM -> DNS Functions -> Edit a DNS Zone -> yourdomain.com
then add:

server1 14400 A xxx.xxx.xx.xx

The problem is, everytime i Add an Entry for Hostname, then I check in the DNS Zone, I coudn't find it. It seems there was something problem with the DNS.

Try this:

Code:

pico /var/named/yourdomain.com.db

just add:

Code:

server1 14400 A xxx.xxx.xx.xx

save the file and type

Code:

service named restart

let me know

Yes, that has been added but nothing happen. I also just create a new DNS Zone for the server hostname manualy from SSH and now its recorded in WHM. But I don't know if this is working or not. Cause even the zone already exist and I try to "Add an Entry For Hostname" it didn't say that the zone already exist which is normaly does. So I think there is a problem with my DNS.

if you have a zone like: server1.yourdomain.com.db , delete then repeat step above for yourdomain.com.db

Again, nothing happen after I did that.
