[ipcheck] Problem with DNS setup - Driving me crazy
Posted by saj, 10-13-2011, 06:13 PM hi guys trying to sort something up for someone ..Running cpanel each morning I am getting this email - its driving me nuts! [ipcheck] Problem with DNS setup on box.smwebserver.info IMPORTANT: Do not ignore this email. Your hostname (box.smwebserver.info) could not be resolved to an IP address. This means that /etc/hosts is not set up correctly, and/or there is no dns entry for box.smwebserver.info. Please be sure that the contents of /etc/hosts are configured correctly, and also that there is a correct 'A' entry for the domain in the zone file. Some or all of these problems can be caused by /etc/resolv.conf being setup incorrectly. Please check that file if you believe everything else is correct. You may be able to automatically correct this problem by using the 'Add an A entry for your hostname' option under 'Dns Functions' in your Web Host Manager. My Hosts files READ: /etc/hosts # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 176.31.242.202 box.smwebserver.info box ks386446.kimsufi.com ks386446 Resolver file read: /etc/resolv.conf search smwebserver.info domain smwebserver.info nameserver 176.31.242.202 nameserver 178.32.51.12 my main IP is 176.31.242.202 another IP for nameservers which is 178.32.51.12 my domain name is smwebserver.info Could anyone tell me what do i need to do to stop these meails - since i migrated like very small percentage of people are unable to access my site! and I cant even access it via my Orange Internet on my Mobile Phone but it works fine on Home and Work PC any ideas please
Posted by silasmoeckel, 10-13-2011, 06:49 PM Looks like you have an A record but you have no valid name servers in your conifig as something like: @ IN NS ns1.smwebserver.info. @ IN NS ns2.smwebserver.info. your currently reporting . as your name server.
