problem with subdomain.

[luckid]

Hi.
Doing a search I noticed that other people had a problem similar to mine ... the problem by adding a subdomain (folder is created in the ftp) but unfortunately, the page gives me error "Unable to contact server" ... I think the dns is ok. I also added a record like this:

subdomain.domain. A server ip address

but even so it works.

Could you tell me doe error so that it can be corrected?

Thanks in advance Luckid

Check /var/log/messages for dns errors and follow http://site-helper.com/subdomains.html#create

I saw the guide and it does not work ... but the same... this is my dns (allegate )

Seems good. Wait for dns to propogate.

This is NOT a propagation issue, it's an assigned nameserver issue.

It appears that the nameservers for the srilanka-w.org domain are set as:

dns1.name-services.com
dns2.name-services.com
dns3.name-services.com
dns4.name-services.com
dns5.name-services.com

Which means that your server is NOT serving DNS. To make this work you either should have the domain use your server for DNS, or you need to create ns records for the subdomain at those nameservers.

You need a trailing . on the host.

I might give some examples? and then I put them in the panel DirectAdmin or domain?

thanks in advance.... luckid

In the host box you need a period on the end.

Like: hostname.domain.com.
Not: hostname.domain.com

From your replies since my post it appears that user scsi is helping you make the changes you need at name-services.com. This should resolve your problem.

the problem is : my registar dont add . on the end my subdomain but error when i adding :
vips.srilanka-w.org.
not permess :mad:

my registar domain is www.registryrocket.com

[nobaloney]

If you can't add the dot, then try just adding the subdomain name and not the rest. In other words instead of:

vips.srilanka-w.org
use

vips
