Hello, I have successfully installed Webmin with Virtualmin extension, I have also successfully added new virtual server (domain), but there is the problem... some ISP does not work correctly with subdomains of this domain...
For example: ping www.xxx.info - does not work (is not responding and does not show webpage) ping xxx.info - works fine (responds, and shows webpage).
I have already tried to reinstall OS, webmin and virtualmin, but still the same.
NS records for domain xxx.info are configured correctly.
Where can be a problem?
Hmm, it's possible that one or more of your nameservers isn't behaving properly.
Try going to:
http://intodns.com
Enter your domain, and it'll do some tests to make sure things are running properly. -Eric
Thank you, I have configured wrong host name of server...
How can I change host name of server (including hostnames inside Virtualmin DNS, etc...)?
Thank you for reply.
under the webmin section you need to go to the networking module-Network Configuration, then go to Hostname and DNS Client to change the hostname of the server.
or ssh into the server and type: hostname something.domain.tld
Thank you, hostname was changed, but subdomains still does not work...
Here is page from intoDNS: http://www.intodns.com/e2ads.com - it looks, that all is configured correctly
Subdomains works just with some internet providers. Mostly ping to subdomain (e.g. ping forum.xxx.info), returns: Host was not found.
Any other idea, how to make subdomains working correctly?
If you SSH onto your server, and type "host forum.xxx.info", does it return an IP address? -Eric
yes, it shows correct IP:
forum.xxx.info has address 89.xxx.xxx.x
forum.xxx.info mail is handled by 5 mail.forum.xxx.info.
Yeah, I'm not sure why that's not working.
It sounds like a DNS issue of some sort, but I'm not sure what.
If you put the "xxx.info" domain into the intodns.com site, does it check out okay? I think it was another domain you had tried in there.
Beyond that -- I guess we'd need to see what the specific domain name is that's not working to be able to help diagnose the problem you're seeing. -Eric
