My cPanel server is resolving a URL wrong. The website example.com is hosted on my cPanel server at ip 1.0.0.1. In a script I am attempting a cURL command to cp.example.com which is hosted on another server at 2.0.0.2. My server is resolving cp.example.com to the IP of 1.0.0.1. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
It seems like your dns settings for cp.example.com are not visible on the host where you are running your script. You should check the dns settings for cp.example.com. You may also want to contact the Cpanel support
When you make a cURL request from a source hosted on your cPanel server the IP for the domain is first resolved locally, if it's not found in your Server's DNS zones it will be resolved from your configuration at /etc/resolv.conf
You can test to see which IP your server is resolving this by logging via SSH and pinging it
Executed from your cPanel Server
ping cp.example.com
I can think of two workarounds for this issue:
If example.com's DNS zone is hosted in your cPanel account
Go to cPanel -> Zone Editor
Open the DNS zone for example.com
Find the A record for cp.example.com
Change it to 2.0.0.2
If you have root - edit your WHM / cPanel Server's /etc/hosts file
root#server #: vim /etc/hosts
// 2.0.0.2 cp.example.com

I am using Windows Server 2019 and in IIS 10 I have created a website and I have bound it to both: "localhost" and "mydomain.com" on port 80.
mydomain.com works correctly from any client but on the server only when I call "localhost" it works otherwise I get the following error (when called by domain):
Configure your DNS in your local server to resolve the domain name as localhost
On clients, your request domain.com is resolved by its configured DNS.
It can be on public DNS (internet) or private ones (company, intranet).
From the server domain.com, do you have access to the same DNS than your clients use ?
If not, either configure additional DNS servers :
https://serverspace.io/support/help/configuring-a-dns-server-on-windows-server-2012-or-later/
or you could edit you Host file of mydomain.com (local DNS):
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
It may look like that :
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 mydomain.com
# and existing settings
I have a domain bought from GoDaddy. I have set the custom name servers this
ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com
and set hostname
ns1 52.70.xxx.xxx(aws ip)
ns2 52.70.xxx.xxx (aws ip)
As I have installed WHM in my amazon aws instance. so In WHM, I have created an account and then went to Edit DNS Zone and added A records. These are my settings there
But I don't see my domain working and I am not able to see Cpanel of the domain as well.
what am I missing?
Please follow these steps to integrate your domain into whm and create a cpanel.
Create an account in WHM by going into Account Functions->Create Account: enter your domain here
Go to DNS Functions->Edit Dns Zone and click your domain and add A records
Then Go to Godaddy or any Company where you have purchased your domain and edit the name servers. For example if the nameservers you set in whm dns were ns1 and ns2 then same add here(e.g godaddy). In your case it would be
ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com
Click Manage hostname in Godaddy and add
ns1 52.70.xxx.xxx(aws ip)
ns2 52.70.xxx.xxx (aws ip)
Your domain should be working here. But If still It didn't work then
Check if ports(2087,2083,53,2095) are open. Check it from the terminal
nmap -Pn -sT 172.31.iphere --reason -p 2087,2083,2095,53
If any port is closed. Open it from the aws by going into Security Firewall.
Please note, 2083 and 2095 will always show as closed from external port scans as these ports are only opened publicly based on valid sessions established from within the cPanel server.
Verify again if your DNS port is opened
nmap -Pn -sT 172.31.iphere --reason -sU -p 53
After opening all the ports rebuilt your DNS configuration on the server by typing these commands on the terminal
cpanel root#9449099 /var/named]cPs# cd /etc
cpanel root#9449099 /etc]cPs# mkdir /root/cptechs
cpanel root#9449099 /etc]cPs# mv named.conf /root/cptechs
cpanel root#9449099 /etc]cPs# mv rndc.* /root/cptechs
cpanel root#9449099 /etc]cPs# /scripts/rebuilddnsconfig
Hope it helps
Are you using Nameservers for domain.com that are ns1/2.domain.com?
If this is the case the domain will not be able to resolve without adding the ns1/2. as "Child Nameservers".
You can create that for your domain through GoDaddy https://uk.godaddy.com/help/add-my-own-host-names-as-nameservers-12320
Alternatively - you can post your domain so we can troubleshoot it if it's a DNS issue.
I have a centOS system(embedded and has very binaries) with the following /etc/hosts.
$cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost
Also the host is assigned a DNS server which returns some invalid IP for the domain name lookup of localhost. But I cannot avoid a connection to this DNS due to some network restrictions.
My question is, when I already have a valid /etc/hosts file why is the system querying the DNS for localhost? And how can I stop that?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Check that you have files listed before dns for the hosts entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf.
[me#home]$ grep "^hosts" /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files dns
If dns comes first, then your system will always query DNS to resolve hostnames before falling back to /etc/hosts.
I am building a website and would not like to reconfigure the website from pointing to http://127.0.0.1 to http://www.example.com. Furthermore, the certificate that I am using is of course made with the proper domain name of www.example.com but my test environment makes calls to 127.0.0.1 which makes the security not work properly.
What I currently want to do is configure my development environment to assign the domain name www.example.com to 127.0.0.1 so that all http://www.example.com/xyz is routed to http://127.0.0.1:8000/xyz and https://www.example.com/xyz is routed to https://127.0.0.1:8080/xyz.
I am not using Apache. I am currently using node.js as my web server and my development environment is in Mac OS X Lion.
If you edit your etc/hosts file you can assign an arbitrary host name to be set to 127.0.0.1.
Open up /etc/hosts in your favorite text editor and add this line:
127.0.0.1 www.example.com
Unsure of how to avoid specifying the port in the HTTP requests you make to example.com, but if you must avoid specifying that at the request level, you could run nodejs as root to make it listen on port 80.
Edit: After editing /etc/hosts, you may already have the DNS request for that domain cached. You can clear the cached entry by running this on the command line.
dscacheutil -flushcache
I have a centOS virtual machine with 3 virtual hosts. It worked fine until this moment when I lost access to the dns server. Now the hosts can't be resolved. Can any1 tell me if I can configure some static routes or something to the virtual hosts?
Print screen with the httpd response:
P.S. I would prefere not to configure a DNS server since the old one will start tomorrow again.
In your /etc/hosts you can map IP addresses to hostnames:
127.0.0.1 example.com
127.0.0.1 example.net
// etc...
