Title: Submitting .uk and .co.uk

Charles,

 

   Thanks for the info.  I'll pass it on.  FWIW, we ran into this issue submitting a .co.uk. 

 

Thanks again!

Karyn

Actually, I misread your question.  We don't sell plain old ".uk" - it's not offered.  You can only either purchase .co.uk or .org.uk

 

However, .co.uk should work if you have it enabled in your OpenSRS.conf file and you see it via the RWI (ensure that both live and test systems are enabled)

Charles,

 

I see in my OpenSRS.conf:

 

OPENSRS_TLDS_REGEX => "(\.ca|\.(bc|ab|sk|mb|on|qc|nb|ns|pe|nf|nt|nv|yk)\.ca|\.com|\.net|\.org|\.co\.uk|\.org\.uk|\.tv|\.vc|\.cc|\.info|\.biz|\.name|\.us)",

 

which tell me the configuration is fine.

 

However, in my drop down at OpenSRS's reseller, I see "co.uk" and "org.uk", but not plain old ".uk". We are assured that we are enabled for .uk.  This tells me that something on the OpenSRS server side is not populated correctly.

 

Are my assumption correction?

 

Thanks in advance!

Karyn

There are two things you can check.

 

In the RWI, under "Place Order Manually", check your drop down for domains.  If .co.uk (and org.uk) are there, you're enabled.  If not, check our contracts page for instructions on how to proceed (and ensure you're enabled if you should be).

 

If this is ok, check your OpenSRS.conf file (client side) and look at the OPENSRS_TLD_REGEX and ensure that .co.uk and .org.uk are listed there.

 

Cheers :)

Hi All!

  We recently upgraded to the latest greatest WRI for the land grab event.  Everything seems to be going fairly smooth.  However, it was brought to my attention that the .uk and .co.uk submission are being rejected with the following error:

   Domain: <actualdomainremoved>.co.uk Registration attempt failed: Registration not allowed under this TLD.

   This error looks like an OpenSRS generated error telling us we don't handle these types of domains, yet based on exchanged information with OpenSRS administrative staff we are approved and have access.

   I would appreciate any information on how to determine whether this is a client side or server side issue, and how best to go about getting back on track with the .co.uk and .uk registrations.

   Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Karyn
