How would I add example2.com to my current setup?

example.com.db:

$TTL 14400
@      86400    IN      SOA     ns1.example.com. admin.example.com. (
                20100215021      ; serial, todays date+todays
                86400           ; refresh, seconds
                7200            ; retry, seconds
                3600000         ; expire, seconds
                86400 )         ; minimum, seconds
example.com. 86400 IN NS ns1.example.com.
example.com. 86400 IN NS ns2.example.com.
ns1                     IN A XXX.XXX.XXX.1

You should have a Zone definition:

zone "example.com" IN {
type master;
file "/etc/example.com.db";
allow-update { none; };
};

Which you already have.

Than you have to reload it by the following command:

rndc reload example.com

Or

restart BIND server.

nah I meant I have two domains. consolediscussions.com and tru-movement.com

I thought I set up the configuration correctly, but it doesn't show either site when I restart the server.

named.config:

    controls {
            inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { "rndckey"; };

    zone "localdomain" IN {
            type master;
            file "/var/named/localdomain.zone";
            allow-update { none; };
    };
    
    zone "localhost" IN {

            file "/var/named/named.local";

    };
    
    zone "0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa" IN {

    };
    
    zone "0.in-addr.arpa" IN {
            type master;
            file "/var/named/named.zero";
            allow-update { none; };
    };

    zone "consolediscussions.com" IN {
            type master;
            file "/etc/consolediscussions.com.db";
            allow-update { none; };
    };
    
    zone "tru-movement.com" IN {
            type master;
            file "/etc/tru-movement.com.db";
            allow-update { none; };
    };

httpd.config:

NameVirtualHost XXX.XXX.XXX.X1
NameVirtualHost XXX.XXX.XXX.X2

<VirtualHost XXX.XXX.XXX.X1 XXX.XXX.XXX.X2>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ServerName www.consolediscussions.com
ServerAlias consolediscussions
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost XXX.XXX.XXX.X1 XXX.XXX.XXX.X2>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/tme
ServerName www.tru-movement.com
ServerAlias tru-movement
</VirtualHost>

[cloudvps]

What is the output of these commands:

1. dig @YourDNSServer_IP www.consolediscussions.com
2. dig www.consolediscussions.com

Is there any error messages in your DNS server syslog (/var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages)

[IFeelYourPain]

Ok everything is now working, except for now tru-movement.com displays consolediscussions.com homepage.

I have it linked to the right directory though:
NameVirtualHost XXX.XXX.XXX.X1
NameVirtualHost XXX.XXX.XXX.X2

<VirtualHost XXX.XXX.XXX.X1 XXX.XXX.XXX.X2>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ServerName www.consolediscussions.com
ServerAlias consolediscussions
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost XXX.XXX.XXX.X1 XXX.XXX.XXX.X2>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/tme
ServerName www.tru-movement.com
ServerAlias tru-movement
</VirtualHost>

[VIPoint]

Try this. This might work

NameVirtualHost XXX.XXX.XXX.X1:80
NameVirtualHost XXX.XXX.XXX.X2:80

<VirtualHost XXX.XXX.XXX.X1 XXX.XXX.XXX.X2>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ServerName www.consolediscussions.com
ServerAlias consolediscussions
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost XXX.XXX.XXX.X1 XXX.XXX.XXX.X2>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/tme
ServerName www.tru-movement.com
ServerAlias tru-movement
</VirtualHost>

[IFeelYourPain]

Is all you did is add port 80? Cause if so, its still doing the same thing and yes I did restart httpd and named.

[IFeelYourPain]

help plz????

[BTCentral - Ben]

If you can not cope with server administration tasks, then either change to a managed provider, or hire a server management company.
If you are looking for a server management company I would recommend cliffsupport.com, a company I previously worked for used them regularly and they were always good.

[IFeelYourPain]

For something this simple I don't want to pay someone a $100 an hour to fix. Ive been through that bull and I won't do it again.

So if anyone else has any other ideas I would appreciate them.

[IFeelYourPain]

NVM, it was a simple mistake that apparently I would have ended up paying $100 an hour for nothing. Ben you give crappy advice just so you know. This forum is for helping, you would have just made me waste $75-$100. Thanks for the help, but I figured it out on my own. For those of you with the same problem, chances are you are running a newer apache and the way IPs are stored has changed. Change all of your <VirtualHost> lines to <VirtualHost *:80> and NameVirtualHost to NameVirtualHost *:80

Considering they harden/secure, servers for less than $50, there is no way you would have ended paying $75-100 for a simple fix such as the one you stated.

Also, would you like to point out the banner that states WHT is for free technical support?
Sure there is plenty of useful help and advice available here, and the community is generally fairly helpful when they can be, but this is not a tech support forum.

Just because I did not fix your problem does not mean I give out "crappy advice", you'll actually find I give out useful advice a lot around here, just a few examples over the last week or so:

Thanks for the feedback though and good to see you solved your problem.
