Domain not working.

[c740015]

Hi I finally set it all up.... added the summary hosts on go daddy and the nameservers..

I can ping the domain name and it will return the ip address of the VPS..

But for some reason the website just keeps loading like its not resolving the address..

Is there something I am doing wrong..

Basiaclly I tested everything on a different domain.. then changed all the settings in webmin/virtualmin
to go with the new domain..

I managed to get the webpage loaded once but only a tiny part of it loaded..

Please could some one assist me with this.. Have I done something wrong?

Thanks..

I think when I was switching the domain settings that something in bind has messed up.. Because the page just wont load at all..
If i wait 30 minutes.. Some of the webpage loads...
But I dunno what I done

UPDATE i used network tools to find out whats going on and It returns this error

Query for DNS records for MYDOMAIND.COM failed: Address not available


Anyone know why this is and how I could correct it ...
My site has been offline for some time now.

O.k. Its still not working and I dunno what I have done wrong..

Since I changed the doamin to move it over the website wont resolve an address..

What can I do to get this fixed? My site has been offline for a long time now.. It needs pulling back up.

Hi,

It's possible that there is a slight error in the configuration on BIND. Perhaps you mistyped the domain name when you entered it?
Also you should double check that your domain is pointed to your nameservers.
Also domain settings can take a while to take effect so it may be worth waiting a bit, because sometimes DNS issues fix themselves.

Something I find quite useful which diagnosing nameserver problems is this: http://guide.opendns.com/?url=yourdomain.com&servfail (Replace yourdomain.com with your domain). The on that page click "See which nameservers are failing".
This will show which nameservers are serving your domain, and whether they are working.
If you get the error: SERVFAIL it suggests BIND is not running/broken
If you get the error: NORECORDS (I think that the error) it means that no matching records were found on the server.

I Ran that test but I but there is still something wrong..

Here is the error I think its something to do with network configuration in Bind.. I scared to touch that..

HERE are the errors.

Hmm, uniquez-home.com isn't loading right now.
The computers that run uniquez-home.com are having some trouble. Usually this is just a temporary problem, so you might want to try again in a few minutes.


The servers listed are working, but something else might have gone wrong

hmm... That's odd because everything seems to suggest the domain is working, and I do get some of the page loading, but it's incredibly slow. There may be something wrong with Apache.
Could you try restarting Apache. Also can you check how much Free RAM (Memory) you VPS has. (Either look in the VPS control or run the try the command "free -m".)

I have restarted apache and bind several times lol.. And still nothing....

RAM USAGE

Real memory 1024 MB total, 487.49 MB used

Like I said I did run this on a domain I have spare.. Everything was fine with the same levels of ram being used and exact same files and databses in the websites...

As soon as I changed the domian name thats when the problems started to happen..

When i run network tools it tells me this

Query for DNS records for uniquez-home.com failed: Address not available

I have rebooted the server in the main panel. Aswell I dunno whats wrong.

With that command in SSH i got this return

total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1024 443 580 0 0 0
-/+ buffers/cache: 443 580
Swap: 0 0 0


Really puzzled

I've just used this tool: http://www.hscripts.com/tools/HDNT/dns-record.php to lookup a couple of your DNS records. It reports the correct A record (the one that really matters), and that is pointed to your VPS's IP address. However looking up the NS (Nameserver) record shows that it is pointed back to itself. I'm not sure, but this could cause a problem. Could you try setting it to your IP address instead.

Also is there anything of interest in the Apache error logs?

EDIT: You page is still loading, so far I've got the header. lol

You changed the domain name in Virtualmin? How did you do that? Did you simply change the domain name or did you create a new virtual server with the new domain name and new details?
