SOLVED The DNS address of the server cannot be found after installing cPanel

[BeHost]

Hi,

I just installed cPanel on a VPS, installation went fine, but when I try to access the WHM Panel I get the following error (chrome): DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

I changed my hostname to s1.'mydomain'.com on my vps, do I need to do something where I registered the domain? I see some advanced DNS options but not really sure if I need to change them.

HOST RECORDS
DNSSEC
MAIL SETTINGS
PERSONAL DNS SERVER

The error is: ERR_NAME_RESOLUTION_FAILED
When I try to access WHM via the ip I get this error: ERR_CONNECTION_RESET

You should probably looked for a managed host if you are having this issue too be honest =X as many many more obstacles await.

I would recommend registering your own private nameservers first, this is done at your registrar. Using your registrar's kb/docs find how to add private nameservers.

Register both:

ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com

to the IP of your server.

Then in WHM, create a new account for domain.com

Once created, go to "Edit a DNS Zone" and add 3 DNS (A) Records.

server
ns1
ns2

point them all to your server IP. Save.

Then back at your registrar, change the nameservers to domain.com to point to

ns1/ns2.domain.com

You can also use those same nameservers for any other domains you want to point to your server.

When I try to access WHM via the ip I get this error: ERR_CONNECTION_RESET

What is the URL in your address bar, you can hide the IP

Thank you for your reply.

I have successfully registered the private nameservers.
I can not access WHM to create a new account, as the links in my browser aren't working, can this be done via the command line in centos 6?

http://198.--.--.---:2087

Also, what IP should I use for my custom DNS? The main ip adress or the 2 IP adresses in resolv.conf?

Used https:// rather than http:// to access WHM
and if you are using mozilla, just add the exc option

Yes I can access cPanel via IP and hostname now; created a hosting package but the domain gives a dns not found error.
I added my DNS on the domain seller, do I need to use the main server IP or the IPS generated in cPanel?
Also I need to install these PHP extensions

• OpenSSL PHP Extension
• PDO PHP Extension
• Mbstring PHP Extension
• Tokenizer PHP Extension
• XML PHP Extension

But I cant find them and I cant use PHP version selector in cPanel because it's not showing up.

Use your main server IP for both nameservers.

If you want to PM me your domain I can check the DNS

• OpenSSL PHP Extension
• PDO PHP Extension
• Mbstring PHP Extension
• Tokenizer PHP Extension
• XML PHP Extension

In WHM click "EasyApache 4" and then click Customize, click Next until you get to the section "PHP Extensions", you will then be able to select the needed extensions.

But I cant find them and I cant use PHP version selector in cPanel because it's not showing up.

It should be called "MultiPHP Manager", you might be used to CloudLinux's PHP Selector on a different server.

Thank you very much for the replies. I got the domain working!

In WHM click "EasyApache 4" and then click Customize, click Next until you get to the section "PHP Extensions", you will then be able to select the needed extensions.

I found almost all extensions but didnt find these: OpenSSL PHP & Tokenizer.

Install the package:

php-common

tokenizer is in there.

OpenSSL is native so it will be already available.

You can check with SSH:

php -i | grep OpenSSL
