[ipcheck] Problem with DNS setup on Server.SITE.COM

[Akoori]

IMPORTANT: Do not ignore this email.

The hostname (server.SITE.COM) resolves to 192.168.1.1. It
should resolve to 174.36.213.175. Please be sure that the contents
of /etc/hosts are configured correctly, and also that there is a
correct 'A' entry for the domain in the zone file.

Some or all of these problems can be caused by /etc/resolv.conf
being setup incorrectly. Please check that file if you believe
everything else is correct.

You may be able to automatically correct this problem by using the
'Add an A entry for your hostname' option under 'Dns Functions' in
your Web Host Manager.


I check all files but I have got this error and server.site.com is not up
Also I check A entry in domain panel

What is the problem?

Is this a new dedicated/virtual server? I find it easier to go in through SSH - check /var/named/SITE.COM.db and look for the A record with the incorrect IP and replace it with the correct address.

This can also happen if you switched server providers and the hostnames of the two servers are identical, though the issue almost certainly is a typo in the DNS zone. If /var/named/site.com.db checks out, go into "Basic cPanel/WHM Setup" and re-run "Assign an A Entry For Your Hostname" again.

Keep us posted!

Dud 192.168.1.1 was an example

 

[John Edel]

In that case, try xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx or something next time or you'll have guys like me taking you seriously and trying to wrap their mind around it!

Take a moment to look in those areas I mentioned formerly and let us know what you find.

What is the IP in /etc/hosts versus /etc/sysconfig/network versus hostname -i returns? Does a dig on the hostname return the right IP?

dig +short hostname.domain.com

Please replace hostname.domain.com with the fully qualified hostname.
