Getting ready to point my domain at my nameserver, and I am not totally sure I've got it set up right.  Anyone point out my mistakes?

/etc/named.conf

Code:
options {
        directory "/var/named";
        dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
        statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
};

controls {
        inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; };
};

zone "187.13.50.74.in-addr.arpa" in {
        type master;
        file "masters/74.50.13.187";
};

zone "doublepaw.org" in {
        type master;
        file "masters/doublepaw.org";
};

// defaults follow:

snipped, localhost, etc.



/var/named/masters/doublepaw.org

Code:

@       IN      SOA     doublepaw.org.  postmaster.doublepaw.org.
(
                        2007060801      ;serial
                        4H              ;refresh
                        2H              ;retry
                        1W              ;expire
                        1D)             ;minimum
;
                NS      ns              ;inet address of nameserver
                MX      10 mail         ;mail exchanger
;
doublepaw.org.  A       74.50.13.187
ns              A       74.50.13.187
mail            A       74.50.13.187
www             A       74.50.13.187


and the reverse zone:

/etc/named/masters/74.50.13.187
Code:

@       IN      SOA     doublepaw.org.  postmaster.doublepaw.org.
(
                        2007060801      ;serial
                        4H              ;refresh
                        2H              ;retry
                        1W              ;expire
                        1D)             ;minimum
;
                NS      ns              ;inet address of nameserver
                MX      10 mail         ;mail exchanger
;

74.50.13.187.   PTR     doublepaw.org.


and I will use the domain ns.doublepaw.org at my registrar.

Thanks if anyone spots anything.. I am still not sure I understand all of that.  (I thought LP was supposed to set up the name servers, also?)

Hi,

Named gets installed on your VPS along with Plesk. If you have Plesk installed on your server and didn't remove it, I would highly encourage you to do all DNS configurations using Plesk. This will allow to avoid many mistakes and confusions with DNS zones.

I hope this post helps.

So.. when I go to Plesk and click 'Domains', I get this:

Quote
Service Unavailable
Service is not available now. Plesk is not installed.
Click here to start the Plesk installation.

If I click to install, I get this:

Quote
Plesk cannot be automatically installed on your VPS. Contact your provider for further information.
You can get and install Plesk from here.

so.. I haven't removed anything.. but I'd rather not buy Plesk just to set up my nameserver?

is that something that was meant to come with the VPS package?

Hi,

Plesk with 10 domains license is included into VPS plan. Please contact support at vps@lunarpages.com to get this issue resolved.

so.. obviously someone in tech support is working on this right now.

it also looks like they just fucking reinstalled apache.  which means not only wiping out my mod_python install, and all my .conf files, but also the working copy of a LIVE FUCKING SITE, and all the design that's gone into it for the past 4 weeks.

it ALSO looks like they wiped out the /home/ directory, and the program I'd been working on, with mailing lists of 700+ for two COMPLETELY SEPERATE SITES.


I am fucking praying that you can patch this back up.  How is that an acceptable thing?  I mean, if you have to reinstall apache, could you at least fucking LOOK IN /var/www ?!

or hey.. what are these users in /home/ ?  I'm sure nobody will miss these!

are you serious?!

That looks like firewall problem. You have to enable 8880 and 8443 so that Plesk won't give you this error again.

Can you please message me with your username and the ticket number if you created any with regards to this issue so that I could try to find out what happened and how this can be solved as soon as possible.

Thanks!

To LP's credit, they (perestrelka himself!) did actually manage to resurrect most of the data that they wiped out.

It's still a pretty huge snafu, but give them points for genuinely going out of their way to patch it up.
