Domain issues

[diaspx10]

Hello community,

I used to host my personal site on x10, for which I parked the domain kevinkleinman.com. Yesterday I wanted to setup an additional site, called campnews.org. I therefore removed the parked domain and wanted to create two addon domains. However, I am not able to do so. I'm getting the following error:

Using nameservers with the following IPs: 93.94.226.155,213.136.15.188,217.170.2.195 Sorry, the domain is already pointed to an IP address that does not appear to use DNS servers associated with this server. Please transfer the domain to this servers nameservers or have your administrator add one of its nameservers to /etc/ips.remotedns and make the proper A entries on that remote nameserver.

I am also unable to re-park my previous domain, for the same reason, even though initially I have not changed anything to the settings at my domainprovider (starthosting.nl). I have pointed my domains at the correct IP. I have also changed the nameservers to ns1 and ns2, yesterday, hoping that would solve my problem.

Does anyone have any suggestions regarding this issue?

Greetings,

Kevin

Since a while back we only allow adding domains that already have our nameservers set, which would likely be why you could not re-add an old domain with the previous settings.

After changing the name servers there is going to be a delay before the new nameservers are fully in use on all instances, do note that you should ONLY have our nameservers set in your domain configuration.

I see the domain kevinkleinman.com as using nameservers that are not ours at this time, same goes for the other domain.

You'll need to set our nameservers on both and wait at least a couple hours to allow time for them to properly update (can be, and often is, faster though, in extreme cases it can take longer time as well though).

So you'd say this should work, right?



It has been like that for over 10 hours. Before that, I had an MX-30 which still pointed at the nameserver of my domain provider. I've deleted that one.

Anna, can you have a look at the picture in my previous post? It shows the details I've filled out at my domain hoster. I'm still getting the same error and I'm not quite sure how to resolve it.

I'd really love to be able to direct people to the new site I've set up with my new domain (campnews.org) and while less urgent, it would be nice if my personal site was available again as well. I simply don't know why it keeps throwing errors at me.

Greetings,

MX records relates to mail settings, and has nothing to do with setting the name servers.

I see the name servers for that domain to be:
Name Server:NS3.FIRSTFIND.NL
Name Server:NS4.FIRSTFIND.NL
Name Server:NS5.FIRSTFIND.NET

You'll want to find where those are set in your administration interface and remove those and put our two instead. I'm not familiar with that domain registrar so I can not point you to where you change the name servers unfortunately.

Oh god, there was a small link that I totally overlooked. I had never changed the nameservers before. In the past, configuring the IP of the MX records was somehow enough to get things working, which made me think those were all the tools available to me. I'll wait for a moment and see if it works but I have confidence. Thank you so much in advance. I really appreciate your helpful advise. :smile:

Edit: it works already! Thanks so much!

Glad to hear you got it working.

I'll close this thread as the matter is now resolved.
