Hello,

i have a problem with my dedicated linux server.

First, i have never used a dedicated server. Till now i have been operating it through the cpanel and now i am stuck up with a problem, (the solution i found on the web, but now in order to correct the files mentioned into the solution i do not know what commands to use on the terminal for my linux system. The solution is as below: Please, guide me through the commands of linux so that i can correct all these of my problems.

------------------SOLUTION ON THE WEB--------------------------

took at look at your server and figured out what was wrong.

1. You had San Antonio caching nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf, but your server is in Virginia. The caching nameservers do not respond to queries from IP addresses in other datacenters, so all of your DNS lookups were failing. Corrected.

2. /etc/rndc.key was blank. Copied the key entry out of /etc/rndc.conf and put it in /etc/rndc.key .

3. The rndc key name was incorrect in /etc/named.conf . The key is "rndc-key" but named.conf had "rndckey". Corrected.

It should be working now. This was your freebie.
