VPS with cPanel no longer resolving

Posted by evanpyrz, 11-13-2013, 12:38 AM
Hey there, So I have a small VPS setup with cPanel/WHM, Apache etc. Setup be the VPS host when I purchased it, so already configured. I was trying to install Subversion from the command line yesterday and after installing it (no errors) the entire VPS stopped resolving to it's hostname, and all domains hosted under it. I can still access WHM/Cpanel by using the IP address, however I cannot access it through the hostname. If anyone has any ideas, or needs more information to help me out, I would greatly appreciate it! I did try restoring a backup from 2 days prior (to be safe), however that still didn't do it. I'm assuming it's something with the Apache configuration, however looking at it I can't find anything that is sticking out to me. Server's IP is 66.147.232.74 It's hostname should be phoenix.jetmedia.us Thanks in advance! --eric

Looks like niether of your NS servers are responding.. NS2.jetmedia.us. ['216.120.248.78'] [TTL=7200] NS1.jetmedia.us. ['216.120.236.144'] [TTL=7200] http://www.intodns.com/jetmedia.us Did you move and not change the NS server IP's to your new server maybe? If so you need to change the IP's for ns1 and ns2 at your registrar.

Seems like your main domain is not even properly resolved: http://intodns.com/jetmedia.us Edit: Jeremy beat me! :-)

It seems that problem with DNS server for jetmedia.us domain. Make sure that there is no problem with the DNS server where jetmedia.us domain's DNS zone is created. Edit: 2 replies in 2 min

Try # /etc/init.d/named restart

It seems you not updated the IPs in domain yet..,

Jeremy, Checked with eNom and my nameservers are registered correctly still. Those IPs you listed for me are correct. Where can I check to see if the server is still configured for those IPs? I know the "Nameserver IP" page in WHM is now just a display report and not an actual configuration page. Do I need to manually edit something?

If you still need support with this, and assuming you still have access to the VM, I'd check /var/log/messages and see which zones are reporting errors (domain.com.db not loaded due to errors) could be that a misconfig is preventing BIND from starting - all the zones are in /var/named however if you do find something to change in the individual zone, you'll want to use the DNS editor in WHM to make/apply the changes. Doesn't sound like it's Apache related, what with particular IPs not pinging, but you can check /etc/httpd/logs/error_log. Good log to review regularly anyhow. Also look at the 'ifconfig', 'route' and 'route -n' outputs. You can paste the output here if you need. Wouldn't hurt to look at it.
