About domain setup

Hi folks,

Ubuntu-6.06.1-LAMP-server-amd64

I have satimis.com registered with goddady.com

Hereunder are the contents of;

$ cat /etc/hosts

Code:

#127.0.0.1      localhost.localdomain  localhost

127.0.0.1 localhost.satimis.homelinux.com localhost mail.satimis.homelinux.com

#192.168.0.100  sever1.example.com  server1

192.168.0.100 mail.satimis.homelinux.com mail



# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback

fe00::0 ip6-localnet

ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix

ff02::1 ip6-allnodes

ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

$ cat /etc/hostname

Code:

mail.satimis.homelinux.com

Please advise how to edit these files so that people evokeing "www.satimis.com" can visit the test homepage on this server. What other files I have to edit as well.

TIA

satimis.com.    IN      MX      10 mailstore1.secureserver.net

Accessing www.satimis.com brings you to godday instead. I looks you haven't told godaddy yet to use your ISP's nameservers. You need to visit your account's admin page and put there the two DNS hostnames and their corresponding IP addresses.

Code:

PARK11.SECURESERVER.NET  -->  64.202.165.115

PARK12.SECURESERVER.NET  -->  68.178.211.110

If you are to run Postfix, don't forget to adjust myhostname in main.cf to mail.satimis.com and mydomain to satimis.com.

Requesting ISP where to add those lines

In your DNS zone file handled by your ISP. Simply quote our conversations regarding this and I'm sure they know where to place them.

To summarize:

Talk to your ISP to add host mail.satimis.com as a canonical name (CNAME) of satimis.com or with the same IP with satimis.com and www.satimis.com. When the outside will query you, your ISP's DNS will answer with the same IP both for satimis.com, www.satimis.com and mail.satimis.com. You can even add one like ftp.satimis.com.

Quote:

Login godaddy.com and accessed "my account"
Found "Off-site DNS"
Code:
No domains in list.Whether I have to add above 2 lines there?

YES. Place the dns hostnames and corresponding IPs on the right fields of their web form.

Your registrar needs to know your primary and secondary nameservers (DNS) hosts and IP addresses to enable it to refer you to an authoritative nameserver to answer queries from the outside and points it to your domain and hosts IP addresses.

On clicking "change" following window popup

Examples on "Host"
A (Host) Record

Code:

To create a new A record for this zone file, please enter the Host Name, "Points To" IP Address,

and TTL in the fields below; then click "Continue."



An A record . short for address record . is a record within a zone file that maps a domain name

to an IP address. Thus, you can use an A record to indicate the IP address you want your domain 

or subdomain to point to. Also referred to as a host or host name. For example, if you want your 

domain "domainnamegoeshere.com" to point to your home computer (whose IP address is, for 

example, 172.0.0.1), the A record would list "domainnamegoeshere.com", or "@" as the host and 

"172.0.0.1" as the "Points To" IP address. Entering "@" will automatically insert your domain 

name as the host name for the A Record. If the A Record is for the domain 

"www.domainnamegoeshere.com", the host name should be entered as "www".



Do not enter "www.domainnamegoeshere.com" as the host name for an A Record.



You can create a wildcard A record by setting the Host Name value to "*" (asterisk). The 

wildcard causes the server to respond with the IP address specified instead of an error if the 

subdomain queried does not exist within your zone file. 



Host Name: @

Points To Ip Address: 68.178.232.100

TTL: 1 hour/12 hours/1 day/1 week

                [OK] [Cancel]

I suppose leaving "@" unchanged, changing "68.178.232.100" to the fixed IP address assigned by ISP and selecting "1 week" on TTL

Examples on "CNAMES (Aliases)"
to change "www"

CNAME (Alias)

Code:

For example: If you want the CNAME record to point "www" within your domain to 

"www.domainnamegoeshere," you should enter "www" in the Alias field and 

"www.domainnamegoeshere.com" in the Points To field. If you want the CNAME record to point 

"email" within your domain to "email.domainnamegoeshere," enter "email" as the Alias and 

"email.domainnamegoeshere.com" as the Points To Host Name.



Enter an Alias Name:

Points To Host Name:

TTL: 1 hour/12 hours/1 day/1 week

                [OK] [Cancel]

Then I'll leave "www" unchanged, edit "Point To HostName as "@satimis.com and selecting "1 week" on TTL

I think I have to change following items s well;
email, mail, pop, smtp, webmail and e

Please advise. TIA

I'm sure email refers to the postmaster and on BIND this is usually root and by using your postfix alias_maps and by default is /etc/aliases, indicate there as an alias of root your email address to receive system notifications.

Code:

email                root.satimis.com                                3600        change/delete

/etc/aliases:

Code:

postmater:    root



root:          satimis

$ sudo newaliases

The following entries below will simply mean the same host and which is mail.satimis.com. And by just using one and which is mail.satimis.com will be enough and it is just indicating in your MUA to use mail.satimis.com both for POP3/Incoming and SMTP/Outgoing.

Although you can fill them all and it has no problem and you can use any of them.

Code:

mail                mail.satimis.com                                3600        change/delete

        

pop                mail.satimis.com                                3600        change/delete

        

smtp                mail.satimis.com                                3600        change/delete

        

ftp                @                                                3600        change/delete

        

webmail        mail.satimis.com                                3600        change/delete

        

e                mail.satimis.com                                3600        change/deleteTXT



(Text)

        



MX (Mail Exchange)

Priority        Host                Goes To                                TTL        Actions

0                @                mail.satimis.com                3600        change/delete

        

10                @                mailstore1.secureserver.net    3600        change/delete

I don't have idea about what 'e' is.

I think you also need to add mail in CNAME.

Code:

Host                Points To                    TTL                        Actions

@                68.178.232.100                    3600                change/delete



CNAMES (Aliases)

Host                Points To                                        TTL        Actions

www                @                                                3600    change/delete

mail            @                                              3600    change/delete

Then inform your ISP to remove your domain from their DNS. Wait for more than 12hrs maybe for propagation.

Hi gani,

Ubuntu-6.06-LAMP-server-amd64
Xfce4 desktop

Sorry still failed.

I visited "Total DNS Control" and "Total DNS Control and MX Records" pages on "Godaddy.com" and could not figure out how to change them.

Contacted their Technical Support with a reply;

Code:

You are receiving a Go Daddy parked page since the domain satimis.com is 

parked on our servers. In addition, the domain's A record is pointed at our parked    

IP address. In order to point your domain to a different location you will need to 

modify the A record and nameservers for your domain. Unfortunately we are 

limited on the support we can provide for pointing your domain at your own 

server.

My ISP does not know my domain, without any knowledge on I having registered a domain.

We can do it here so easy and anytime and just wait for the propagation. But they are the only one can truly assist you.

I queried once again your domain and here are the results:

Code:

$ host satimis.com

satimis.com has address 68.178.232.100

satimis.com mail is handled by 0 smtp.secureserver.net.

satimis.com has address 68.178.232.100

www.satimis.com is an alias for satimis.com.

www.satimis.com is an alias for satimis.com.

satimis.com mail is handled by 10 mailstore1.secureserver.net.

satimis.com mail is handled by 0 smtp.secureserver.net.

satimis.com mail is handled by 10 mailstore1.secureserver.net.



$ host mail.satimis.com

host mail.satimis.com

mail.satimis.com is an alias for pop.secureserver.net.

pop.secureserver.net has address 64.202.165.92

Host mail.satimis.com not found: 5(REFUSED)

mail.satimis.com is an alias for pop.secureserver.net.

If you are going to use your ISP's DNS for your domain and aliases, continue arranging this with goddady and ask your ISP to add an alias or CNAME for host mail.satimis.com and change the primary MX (0) smtp.secureserver.net to mail.satimis.com.

Hi gani,

I think I have to clarify which fixed IP I have to use first. I'm a little confused here about which IP address I have to use replacing the IP address under "Points To"

I have 2 fixed IP provided by ISP
1) WAN IP
2) Virtual IP on the router.

I made following tests;
1) if typing WAN IP on browser it popup requesting for "User Name" and Password. I contacted ISP understanding that it was the IP of their router.

2) if typing "Virtual IP" the test homepage of the server displayed.

Tks.

B.R.

gani	01-12-2007 07:03 AM

I'm sure by virtual means port forwarding to a virtual server or internal network address block. As far as I know, this is simply equivalent to port forwarding since most of internet broadband routers are freely using this term - virtual.

Like in or case here, our local loop is a Wi-Fi bridge connecting to a nearby node of our ISP. And I'm sure as a Wi-Fi bridge it has as well a so called virtual IP or an internal IP assigned and all of services are simply port forwarded on our virtual internal IP that make it appears as we are connected to the public.

Hope you find the way of solving your problem. If you further need assistance, continue posting and in what ever way I can, hope I can still help you.

HI gani,

Problem solved.

The "WAN IP" is the fixed IP of the server NOT the Virtual IP as told by ISP in replying my call previously to unblock ports 25 and 80. The same WAN IP should go to "godaddy.com" site;

My Account --> ManageDomains --> Domain Control Center (click "satimis.com") --> "Total DNS Control and MX Records"
Total DNS Control Panel

Code:

satimis.com 



A (Host) 

Host        Points To                TTL                Actions 

@      220.232.213.178

Now I can browse the test homepage of the server on another network "proxydom.com" by typing;
www.satimis.com
and
220.232.213.178

and ping follows on another network "network-tools.com";
www.satimis.com
and
220.232.213.178

But "satimis.com" did not work on both. Any advice? Tks.

Besides, what is @ under "Host"

Both satimis.com and www.satimis.com returns your IP to indicate that you don't have problem anymore with your DNS.

The problem might be in your apache virutal host configuration. This is how to do it.

Assuming your internal IP is 192.168.0.100 then if your apache is at version 2.x, it should have a module in its configurations named httpd-vhosts.conf.
In my distro it is placed in /etc/apache/extra. Edit accordingly this way:

Code:

#

# Use name-based virtual hosting.

#

NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.100:80



# Adjust the document root according to your setup:

Hi gani,

Quote:

Both satimis.com and www.satimis.com returns your IP to indicate that you don't have problem anymore with your DNS.

Propragation took overnight.

Now typing both www.satimis.com and satimis.com on "proxydom.com" can browse the test homepage.

Ping both www.satimis.com and satimis.com on "network-tools.com" also worked without problem.

The WAN IP named by ISP is the static/fixed IP.

I'm running Apache2 on this server

satimis@mail:~$ dpkg -al | grep apache

Code:

ii  apache2                                          2.0.55-4ubuntu2.1              next generation, scalable, extendable web se

ii  apache2-common                                  2.0.55-4ubuntu2.1              next generation, scalable, extendable web se

ii  apache2-doc                                      2.0.55-4ubuntu2.1              documentation for apache2

ii  apache2-mpm-prefork                              2.0.55-4ubuntu2.1              traditional model for Apache2

ii  apache2-utils                                    2.0.55-4ubuntu2.1              utility programs for webservers

ii  libapache2-mod-auth-mysql                        4.3.9-2ubuntu3              Apache 2 module for MySQL authentication

ii  libapache2-mod-php5                              5.1.2-1ubuntu3.4              server-side, HTML-embedded scripting languag

ii  libapache2-svn                                  1.3.1-3ubuntu1              apache modules for Subversion (aka. svn)

The problem might be in your apache virutal host configuration. This is how to do it.

Assuming your internal IP is 192.168.0.100 then if your apache is at version 2.x, it should have a module in its configurations named httpd-vhosts.conf.

$ sudo find / -name httpd-vhosts.conf
No printout
