use of external nameservers in stable

    until v 1.1.1 I always entered my 3 external nameserver into resolv.conf

    Code
    1. nameserver 127.0.0.1
    2. nameserver 00.00.000.010
    3. nameserver 00.00.000.002
    4. nameserver 00.00.000.003


    after upgrading v1.0 to 1.1.2 relsov.conf contains only 1 entry:
    nameserver 127.0.0.1


    so I renamed the resolv.conf symlink to resolv.conf.bak and copied my original resolf.conf back to /etc/reslov.conf
    now I'm not sure if I did everything right, so I would like to ask how to use external nameserver with imscp

    Hello ;


    This problem is already fixed in stable branch. A new option has been added which allow to use external server and totally remove bind9 package. In order, you'll have to run reconfiguration as follow:


    Code
    1. # perl imscp-autoinstall -dar named


    and choose the 'external server' option.


    This new option is in the stable branch and will be part of next release 1.1.3


    For now, even if you edit your resolv.conf file manually, it will be overridden by i-mscp when the imscp_network script is run. You can of course disable the local resolver by running:


    Code
    1. perl imscp-autoinstall -dar resolver


    and add your own entries in the resolv.conf file

    thanks Nuxwin,
    there is second conf for postfix:

    Code
    1. warning: /var/spool/postfix/etc/resolv.conf and /etc/resolv.conf differ


    can this be ignored or shoud this also contain the external NS?
    or is it better to add all entrys into:
    /lib/init/rw/resolvconf and link to /etc/reslov.conf

    Re;


    Restart postfix after editing the /etc/resolv.conf file and all should be ok.

    I am using 1.1.3, but running the above option brings me directly to "Select bind mode" - no way to decided between internal and external server. How do I get to that prompt in order to disable and uninstall all local dns servers?

    To use an external Mailserver you must allow your customer to set a external Mailserver, after that you will find that in the Panel.

    Nothing to do with external mail server here.

    I cannot reproduce the problem on my dev machine. Teamviewer?

    Thank you for your reply, Andy - however, this is about nameserver, not mailserver and I believe uninstalling the nameserver is not something that would be available in the webinterface.

    Solution to this problem:
    This does not work:

    Code
    1. root@ginger:/var/www/imscp/engine/setup# ./imscp-setup -dar named


    This does work:

    Code
    1. root@ginger:/usr/local/src/imscp-1.1.3# perl imscp-autoinstall -dar named


    I mixed the two up - or rather, wasn't aware that were was a different script, the autoinstall one, in a different place. They seemed similar to me and offered similar options, but really, they are different. Problem solved!
