Nameservers are not working.

[lukey372]

Hey guys,

We just finished configuring out dedicated server which is running CentOS 5.6 32bit along with cpanel, and we cannot get our nameservers to configure. For some reason the IP's are unresponsive.

If someone could give us a helping hand it would be much appreciated.

Regards

Luke

For CentOS:
create eth0:0, eth0:1, I assume your extra IPs are not pinging.

go to:
cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
type ifconfig and check your gateway, mac, etc there

create "eth0:0" file by doing vi eth0:0 press i to edit the file

and put:
DEVICE=eth0:0
IPADDR=yourextraiphere
GATEWAY=mainipgateway
NETMASK=255.255.255.0 (it can vary talk to your isp provider)
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none

save this file with "Esc" :wq
after that do: service network restart

now reboot the server, the ip should appear on your WHM, and you can ping

You do realise that nameservers take up to 24 hours to update?

create a A entry to avoid that. Go to your domain registrar and do the following:


ns1.yourdomain.com A myserveriphere
