Hello ,

Can you please let me know which entry you want to removed from your DNS zone?

If you want remove DNS zone then you need to remove DNZ zone file from /va/named directory and remove DNS zone entry from /etc/named.conf file.

Hello,

First, try deleting the zone through the Delete a DNS Zone option under "WHM >> DNS Functions". Check to see if the zone exists under the /var/named directory if you don't see it listed in this interface.

Thank you.

I have moved my VPS to another provider, I can't login to my old VPS via WHM as it redirects me to me new VPS.

I am pretty sure there is a hostname dns entry with the IP address of the new server but I can't delete it via WHM.

Are you able to access this server via SSH as "root" to manually review the zone in the /var/named directory? Or, have you checked to see if the "A" entry for the hostname is added into the zone of the domain name it's associated with?

Thank you.

Yes, I can do that, I get this.......

Are you using a DNS cluster on this system? Do you see any other zones when accessing "WHM >> Delete a DNS Zone"?

Thank you.

 

[KeB]

No, cluster.

As I said, I can't login via WHM as it redirects me to the new server.

As I said, I can't login via WHM as it redirects me to the new server.

You could access WHM using the IP address and port number in the URL. For example:

https://old-server-ip:2087

Thank you.
