How to config Bind ?

Hello everybody,
I rent a dedicated server (http://www.digicube.fr) ; The install FreeBSD is automatic ;

I want to install a FreeBSD Apache22, MySql, PHP, phpMyAdmin, WordPress and an e-commerce as oscommerce and sendmail from a DigiCube. I will only install and configure Apache Bind I want to display only "It works!" In the browser, but that does not work by configuring Apache and Bind with Address:

http://www.takinium.com

and delete
http://digi00635.digicube.fr

IP address is 95.130.12.68

My domain name I want to convert is:
http://www.takinium.com I bought Gandi where I did the redirect to http. I went to the administration of the domain by clicking on takinium, I went down the link page on the modification of DNS zones by adding this:

Code:
@ 3600 IN A 95.130.12.68
ftp 3600 IN A 95.130.12.68
www 3600 IN A 95.130.12.68

Then I added a zone of type A, with the www address 95.130.12.68, I do not know if I did?




I changed the hostname in the file /etc/rc.conf :

Code:
hostname="digi00635.digicube.fr"
by:
Code:
hostname="production-tak.takinium.com"

DigiCube dns and their ip:
ns1.digicube.fr = 95.130.8.8
ns2.digicube.fr = 195.254.130.121

digi00635#portsnap fetch extract

my install apache22 :
digi00635#cd /usr/ports/www/apache22
digi00635#make config
digi00635#make install clean
digi00635#rehash
digi00635#ee /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf


Code:

After the reboot, the previous commands no longer work for cons, I still have:

digi00635.digicube.fr has address 95.130.12.68

By cons, by modifying the following file (resolv.conf), these lines
Code:
domain takinium.com
nameserver 95.130.8.8

they disappear immediately after a command reboot

production-tak#ee /etc/resolv.conf

Code:
nameserver 95.130.12.1

Can anyone help me?
Even knowing the book FreeBSD 7.0, the complete guide, I can not configure and display "it works"

I thank you

Take note that changing a domain entry on the internet can take a while to 'propagate' to the rest of the internet. This can take up to a day or so.

Also note that if you use DHCP your /etc/resolv.conf will get overwritten by dhclient(8). This can be prevented by creating a /etc/dhclient-enter-hooks containing:
Code:
add_new_resolv_conf() {
	# We don't want /etc/resolv.conf changed
	# So this is an empty function
	return 0
}
 
Hello,

In the global whois database authoritative NS for you domain is not 95.130.12.68, so there is no need to setup BIND on your server. gandi.net NS correctly returns your IP address when you ask it for www A record, or only generic A record (which you did setup through the control panel your provider provided you).

I didn't get why do you need setting up BIND on your server?

Setting up master and slave entry on 1 DNS server for the same domain:

Code:
zone "takinium.com" {
        type master;
        file "/etc/namedb/master/takinium.com.db";
};

zone "takinium.com" {
        type slave;
        file "/etc/namedb/slave/takinium.com.db";
};
is not so correct (but this is the other topic).
It will be valid/visible for the global internet only if in the global whois database are listed your NS records as authoritative (but they aren't). Also it will be visible if listed authoritative NSes for the domain delegate to your DNS management of the zone, i.e master/slave configuration - your NS is master, gandi's NS are setup as slave, in your config you have to setup their IPes to be allowed to transfer the zone.

What about 80 port, it does not seem to be opened for the global internet:
Code:
telnet takinium.com 80
Trying 95.130.12.68...
telnet: connect to address 95.130.12.68: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
 
SirDice & quintessence, I thank you for having responded

in the production-tak#ee /etc/rc.conf file :

Code:
ifconfig_re0="DHCP"

I added 95.130.12.1 :
production-tak#ee /etc/namedb/named.conf

Code:
Listen-on { 127.0.0.1;
            95.130.12.1;
};

in the production-tak#"ee /etc/resolv.conf file :

Code:
nameserver 95.130.12.1

I didn't get why do you need setting up BIND on your server?
Because I don't understand what i'm doing and how I'm going to do it, even writing in french/english articles or in the complete Guide of FreeBSD 7.0 writing in french
 
If you don't know what you're doing then you most likely don't need BIND. People that need it will know.
 
Hello,

You don't need BIND, the setup in your control panel is enough to point yourdomain.com and www.yourdomain.com to your IP address ( .68 ).

Are you looking for for some automated way to pointing the IP correct IP address of generic A/www and(or) other records on your domain because your network setup is DHCP and your IP address is changing?

What is 95.130.12.1? DNS server which your server receives through DHCP?
You cannot specify IP address which is not on your network interface in listen-on. If you want your DNS server to listen on all your IP addresses on all your network interfaces you can specify it by setting in named.conf:
Code:
listen-on { any; };

Still conection refused from outside to your IP address on TCP port 80, please check your firewall settings (it has nothing related to BIND in this case).

Also be sure your web server is listening on TCP 80 port:
Code:
sockstat -l4P tcp | grep 80
 
SirDice & quintessence, I thank you again for having responded

I followed the Chapter 14 on DNS of FreeBSD 7.0, the complete Guide.

I started a new apache22 installation (over fifty, maybe plus) and I noticed that changing the hostname in the /etc/rc.conf file, it didn't work again! With this below, it works!

Code:
hostname="digi00635.digicube.fr"

With this below, it doesn't work!

Code:
hostname="production-tak.takinium.com"

I don't understand this because in the console's picture, I changed digi00635 by production-tak and in the /etc/rc.conf file , there was no change.

I changed in the /etc/rc.conf file:
Code:
ifconfig_re0="DHCP"
to
Code:
ifconfig_re0="inet 95.130.12.68 netmask 255.255.255.0"

It was the reason that erased the line
Code:
domain takinium.com
in /etc/resolv.conf file

95.130.12.1 in the /etc/resolv.conf file, I think, it's a gateway between the dns digicube ns1.digicube.fr (95.130.8.8) & ns2.digicube.fr (195.254.130.121)

[CMD=""]/usr/bin/sockstat -4 | grep :80[/CMD]

Hello,

Code:
hostname="production-tak.takinium.com"

I don't understand this because in the console's picture, I changed digi00635 by production-tak and in the /etc/rc.conf file , there was no change.

There is no A record pointing production-tak to your IP address. You have to add it/create it through the control panel of your provider like you setup www and ftp.
