Hello Luggers, Thank you for the great advice with resolving the dns server issue.
I am implementing a zimbra server and the dns issue is out of the way, HOWEVER I have a scenario.... I have an admin account setup and it receives mail from the outside but cannot send to the outside. The other account I created can neither receive nor send mail. any pointers to resolving this issue Thanks On Tue, Nov 8, 2011 at 7:02 PM, sanga collins <[email protected]>wrote: > To fix your domain name, you should be working in /etc/hosts > > leave the localhost.localdomain as 127.0.0.1 and use your intended > hostname and domain name with the LAN ip of your centos box > > > On Tue, Nov 8, 2011 at 10:36 AM, Dusabe Patrick > <[email protected]>wrote: > >> Thanks Collins, >> >> However I am still getting around including forward lookup zones and >> configuring a domain name not localdomain as it still reads >> >> >> On Tue, Nov 8, 2011 at 6:18 PM, sanga collins <[email protected]>wrote: >> >>> This should simplify your life >>> >>> # yum install -y system-config-bind >>> >>> from the gnome desktop open a terminal and type system-config-bind and >>> press enter, or navigate to the Menu: System > Administration > server >>> setting > domain name system. >>> >>> Nice gui that verifies your settings and makes it almost impossible to >>> mess up DNS settings (plus dont have to wonder where the files are) >>> >>> >>> On Tue, Nov 8, 2011 at 9:52 AM, Simon Vass <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>>> Not sure it creates one. >>>> >>>> Here is a nice HowtoForge Guide which might be handy. >>>> >>>> http://www.howtoforge.com/bind-installation-on-centos >>>> >>>> >>>> Google-Search donations kindly accepted in the form of beer. ;-) >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> Simon Vass >>>> Managing Director >>>> E-Tech Uganda Ltd >>>> >>>> http://www.etech.ug >>>> Tel: +256 (0) 312260620 or (0) 312260621 >>>> email: [email protected] >>>> skype: e-techservicedesk >>>> >>>> >>>> ----- Original Message ----- >>>> From: "Dusabe Patrick" <[email protected]> >>>> To: "Uganda Linux User Group" <[email protected]> >>>> Sent: Tuesday, 8 November, 2011 5:29:54 PM >>>> Subject: Re: [LUG] setting up a dns in centos >>>> >>>> >>>> Thanks guys.... >>>> >>>> so I run yum install bind >>>> >>>> I was then to edit the named.conf file to configure the forwarders IP >>>> and reverse look up options >>>> >>>> I expected to run the named.conf file in /etc. This is missing >>>> >>>> So could it be placed in a diffrent location >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> On Tue, Nov 8, 2011 at 5:19 PM, Mike Barnard < [email protected]> >>>> wrote: >>>> >>>> >>>> You may need to provide more information on what errors.
