www works, but not domain.com
Hi:

Everything works fine, except this doesn't work. If I go to my IP address, it works, if I go to www.mydomain.com, it works, but if I go to mydomain.com, it says it won't work. If I restart some services, then it will work after awhile. Why is that? Is there a way I can ALWAYS get www.mydomain.com and mydomain.com to always point? Thanks for your help!!!!!

Ken Cooper

Hi:

This is still happening. FYI, my server will be up for the next 4 or 5 hours, so you can test it out. My domain name is coopercentral.org. Either try pinging it, or putting it in your URL.

coopercentral.org, won't resolve, but www.coopercentral.org will. Is this a DNA issue? I'm sorry if this has been asked over again, I just can't find my answer. Is there anything I can change on BIND, or anything else? Thanks for your help!!!

Must be a local problem. Cause both work for me. Check to make sure that you don't have stale entries in your hosts file disrupting resolution.

Hi:

Thanks for the quick reply. Below is the code on my hosts file. Is there anything that I should change, or anything you think looks wrong that I should change? I tryed out my site at http://www.dollardns.net, and the entries look ok, but if anything looks weird in the hosts file, please tell me, and I'll change it right away:

Code:
$TTL 86400
@	IN	SOA	ns1.coopercentral.org.  admin.coopercentral.org (
			9 ; serial
			28800 ; refresh
			7200 ; retry
			604800 ; expire	
			86400 ; ttl
			)


	IN	NS	ns1.coopercentral.org.
	IN	NS	ns2.coopercentral.org.

@	IN	MX	10	mail

ns1	IN	A	24.169.144.218
ns2	IN	A	24.169.144.218
www	IN	A	24.169.144.218
mail	IN	A	24.169.144.218
ftp	IN	A	24.169.144.218
@	IN	A	24.169.144.218


Thanks a lot, I do really appreciate it!!!!!!!!

heh, not the hosts file I meant. I call those zone files. I mean the hosts file that comes with the operating system.

I don't remember what operating system you are using. Just search for it or something. It's called "hosts" with no extension.

Hi:

Sorry, I forgot to tell you, I'm using Redhat Linux 9, and the file was found in the /etc folder. This is the contents of the file:

Code:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1	localhost.localdomain	localhost
24.169.144.218	coopercentral.org


Anything I should do to that? THanks for your help!!!

Well the cooper line doesn't need to be there. You can delete it. Notice a little bug with your config here:

http://www.dollardns.net/cgi-bin/dn...=AXFR&submit=DS

Notice your SOA record.

As far as your problem, we haven't found the reason for it yet. Let me see your virtual hosts configuration. Perhaps there's something wrong with it that lets me see the website with both domains, but not you.
