Took my subdomains [ftp.denisf.com , pix.denisf.com , whatever-the-heck.denisf.com] about 30 seconds to propogate.. lol

you should check what ftp.dvd-guides.com stands for in your bind settings.

usualy it should be a CNAME for your real domain [dvd-guides.com, that is]

It looks like this

by **DenisF** » Tue Jul 06, 2004 3:17 pm

Looks like a problem on your side...

C:\Documents and Settings\DenisF>nslookup ftp.dvd-guides.com
Server: pdns.goldenlines.net.il
Address: 212.117.129.3

Name: ftp.dvd-guides.com
Address: 64.251.10.180

Hmm, I can't find anything. Do you want to have to suggest anything? The settings where made using the VirtualMin module, so I guess they're correct.

Maybe I have to wait, as it is a transfer and not a new domain. The FTP server works OK if I connect to the IP.

I was referring to 'your side' as in 'your pc, the thing ur using to visit these forums'

try Start > Run > CMD > ipconfig /flushdns

Update - after sometime the message I get is "Host not found".

mail.dvd-guides.com says Connection refused.

I don't know what's going on....

by **DenisF** » Tue Jul 06, 2004 6:36 pm

FTP works fine i just checked

about mail, hm, maybe the mail deamon is down?

by **afonic** » Tue Jul 06, 2004 7:14 pm

mail.dvd-guides.com opens mp3-guides.com !!!

Oh my fucking god!

Is there a way to move this thread to a more relevant topic?

I mean "Test server speed" ??? Huh wa?

Who cares? Maybe it should be splitted in 2 or 3 topics, but I don't think it matters.

Well Denis, any ideas?

by **DenisF** » Tue Jul 06, 2004 11:24 pm

Something is wrong..

I can't get a lookup on your website.. ftp.blabla comes out fine cause it's cached, but the rest time out.

Is the bind deamon running?

by **afonic** » Tue Jul 06, 2004 11:32 pm

It seems running

by **DenisF** » Tue Jul 06, 2004 11:37 pm

You really shouldn't mention things like that afonic

When you transfer the domain it'll take 24-48 hrs for the information to propagate around the world ... Wherever you transferred it to you should have a control panel (or bind server on your server) to add subdomains etc.

I would explain in more detail but im late for work.

@Denis: You're right.

OK I had another look in Sendmail settings and they look just fine to me.
I think that the problem is with the BIND settings, actually they don't point to sendmail.
Actually when I put in my browser mail.dvd-guides.com the mp3-guides.com frontpage comes up!

EDIT: I changed some settings in Sendmail and now the mail program replies that there is a POP3 error and not that "Connection is refused".

by **DenisF** » Wed Jul 07, 2004 1:19 pm

It was bind, you had all of your domains pointing to existing domains [which forced redundant lookups for the same ip], so i changed things around a bit, made a few shortcuts here and there, hopefully everything will work the way it should.

I'll have a go at that mp3-guides.com error.

EDIT
Just don't pay attention to it

most people don't try to browse to their email servers

mail seems to work fine, i managed to login via telnet to your account, what errors do ya get? :S

by **afonic** » Wed Jul 07, 2004 1:45 pm

I don't know, they where the default settings made by VirtualMin, so I guess they were correct. What I can't find is the port settings.

Sendmail had a PORT=stmp,ADDRESS=127.0.0.0 setting which I changed to PORT=110 and ADDRESS=(my IP). After that the "Connection refused" message changed to "POP3" error.

The problem is that mail.dvd-guides.com goes to 64.251.10.180:80 (Apache) and not 64.251.10.180:110 (Sendmail) or at least that's what I think the problem is, with my limited knowledge.
Shouldn't there be a setting that would say that mail.dvd-guides.com reads port 110, ftp.dvd-guides.com reads port 21 and so on?

by **DenisF** » Wed Jul 07, 2004 1:54 pm

you can't forward an address to a port..
[otherwise polarhome would have user1.redhat.polarhome.com domains instead of ~/]

btw sendmail isn't a pop3 deamon , you shouldn't bind it to port 110.. lol
