I am trying to change the nameservers on a .co.za domain to the private nameservers set up on my dedicated server, but I get the error below. The nameservers work fine for a .co.uk domain name.

Not sure what to do, any help will be more than appreciated.

The Error is:

Command failed; CheckDNS: ns1.wpserver.com not authoritative SOA.

If you wish to change the nameservers for your .co.za domain, please make sure that the domain has a valid zone in the new nameservers configuration. Please contact your new host if you are still having problems.

You did not give us enough information about your working environment like: OS, nameserver used, etc.. – Khaled Jul 8 '11 at 16:12

The nameserver you've specified (ns1.wpserver.com) is not authoritative for the domain. You need to configure your nameservers with your zone before you update the co.za delegation.

If it says not auth SOA, edit the dns SOA record for that domain and plop in the first nameserver you use. (want to use)
