How do I to set up new nameservers for a dedicated server using the WHM?

I have done a search and found
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11040&highlight=nameserver

and followed every step but when I got to step 4
"4- Under DNS Functions, click Edit a DNS Zone. Select your domain and click edit. To the right of the SOA, enter your new primary nameserver in both text boxes. They should look like "ns1.domain.com." and then "root.ns1.domain.com.". Make sure you have the trailing (ending) dots! "

I don't seem to see and domain listed so I can edit.

any idea

1) Scroll down.
2) Click on EDIT Zone and pick a domain name you want to edit nameservers to.
3) Open the file up scroll down and put these entries.

|_ns_______| |___14400__| |___A___| |__5.5.5.5__|


|_ns2_______| |___14400__| |___A___| |__5.5.5.6__|

Use your own IP addresses.

And everywhere it doesn't say yourdomain.com change it to your domain.com

THen I'd say your WHM is not setup or configured properly.
BIND stores the zone file at /var/named and WHM should pick that up.

Another way to do it is find the zone file of that domain name and edit it and put these to lines at the buttom:

ns 14400 IN A 5.5.5.5
ns2 14400 IN A 5.55.5.5

Use the IP you want there.

Save it and restart BIND:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/named restart

Have you asked your provider? They should help you out.

Thank you all for you help. It has been fixed and it was not me. There was a problem with WHM as Palm suggested.
