Configure main domain on a different server, outside i-mscp

**Delta04** · Feb 24th 2015

Hello everybody,

I wonder if there is a way to configure the DNS part, in i-mscp so that the main domain (domain.tld and cname www.domain.tld) to point outside, on a different server?
The scenario is, main website is hosted outside i-mscp, i-mscp is used only for DNS, subdomains, mail and all that.

For the moment I moddified the bind zone file so that it point to a different ip address where the website is running. Problem is that each time a subdomain is created, that file is overwritten.

Thanks.

Now I see that I just post it under a wrong forum cathegory. Sorry for that, can it be moved?

PS: i-mscp 1.2.2 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Hello ;

@Delta04

This is possible using that listener: Listener::Named::Tuning

To resume here, if you set custome DNS for your domain, it will replace the default which is added by i-MSCP. www is a CNAME so you must just add a custom DNS record for <domain.tld>.

Note: This listener is only compatible with the 1.2.x branch. For a version compatible with previous version, see: https://github.com/nuxwin/i-ms…ners.d/10_named_tuning.pl

Hello @Nuxwin, how can I use it? Is there a wiki about it, anywhere?

Thanks

One small example in that listener will be perfect.
For example how to point A record for domain example.com to 8.8.8.8 and make www cname to A record or point
it to the same ip.

I have tried on imscp-1.3.0 and the 10_named_tuning.pl doesn't seem to work.

I have open a "bug report" and submitted some code to fix it (not a patch since I have commented a lot in it and it is pretty short bugfixe)

@momo

That listener has been already rewritten for 1.3.x...

See: https://github.com/i-MSCP/imsc…ed_override_default_rr.pl
