I have a domain not showing up with the www extension.
httpd.conf includes this
ServerAliases www.domain.com domain.com

Also included in the DNS Zone file

Any help & where to look?

James

whats the name of the domain?

Where is the ServerAlias included?

Oh wait!

You have a typo.
try ServerAlias
NOT
ServerAliases

http://ckvance.com works but http://www.ckvance.com

The typo was just here in my post not the conf file.

James

You have no DNS record for www.ckvance.com.

You need to update the zone file with a new serial and reload named.

where did you search for this at?
I could use the resource next time
James

on the shell.
$ host -t a ckvance.com
... has address ...
$ host -t a www.ckvance.com
Host ... not found.

You can probably find something like that on the web. Or I can write you a html form that does that for $10 :stickout:

I am familiar with webmin but I now have WHM & i am still learning.
I have setup this domain just like all the rest but it doesn'e work.
I deleted the zone file & rte-added it but still the same thing.
What do you recommend?

When I try looking up the www domain under YOUR nameserver it still doesn't show.

Did you restart the named server?

What about under?
ns1.ckvance.com
ns2.ckvance.com

Do you have a www CNAME entry?

i used the host command to check YOUR ns servers, not mine.

the record for www is still not updated.
<b>Did you reload the nameserver after incrementing the serial number?</b>

Besides the zope record looks a little strange. the SOA record is maybe wrong and should point to ns1.ckvance.com and not ns01.excelwebhosting.com to start with.

Here were my steps.
1. I created a new account for the domain.

2. Gave the domain "Reseller Privileges"

3. Edited "Reseller Privileges/Nameservers"
Added his "primary & secondary nameservers" for the domain, "assigned ip's" and "added an A record" for each nameserver...

4. Edited "Manage Reseller Ip Delegation"

5. Edited "Manage Reseller Main Shared/Ipless Ip"

Anything wrong with this process
:confused:

Everything's wrong with the process :D
but I'm an old school guy.

First change ns01.execlwebhosting.com
and root.root.execlwebhosting in the SOA
to ns1.ckvance.com. and root.ckvance.com. respectively. remember the . (dot) in the end of each name.

Second Change the serial number and increment it by 1.

third change the expire and remove one 0.


forth, change ns01.execlwebhosting.com and ns02.execlwebhosting.com in the NS to
ns1.ckvance.com and ns2.ckvance.com respectively.

fifth, delete localhost.ckvance.com, you don't need it.

sixth, reload your nameserver, look at the log file and see if there are errors.

O.K.
But how else do you add an acount & give reseller privilegeswithout these steps?

1. Create a new account for the domain.

2. Gave the domain "Reseller Privileges"

3. Edited "Reseller Privileges/Nameservers"

And why would it create these setting if so many are wrong???????

they're not practically wrong just philosophically ;)

I see the www record now :D

oops, no I'm sorry the www record doesn't show.

Maybe you got a typo somewhere.

I can fix that in 5 minutes if you want to pay a small fee and have shell access.

I made the changes & restarted bind & apache, but it still doesn't show.
What would be the cost for the fix?

Lets not discuss that on public. PM me or email please.
