I am trying to set up a domain on my own web server. I had it working yesterday however now I am receiving 504 errors whenever I visit the website. The website is www.emotorcyclefairings.com . The A record is coming up correctly and is configured by ddclient. Also, I am using namecheap so I am able to configure the DNS servers and host records. I am also using Google's Public DNS with Bind9 so my server doesn't have to handle all the load. What am I doing wrong here because I do not believe the DNS is resolving correctly?

named.conf.local

    # This is the zone definition. replace example.com with your domain name
zone "emotorcyclefairings.com" {
        type master;
        file "/etc/bind/zones/example.com.db";
        };

# This is the zone definition for reverse DNS. replace 0.168.192 with your network address in reverse notation - e.g my network address is 192.168.0
zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
     type master;
     file "/etc/bind/zones/rev.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa";
};

named.conf.options

forwarders {
  # Replace the address below with the address of your provider's DNS server
  8.8.8.8;
  8.8.4.4;

};

emotorcyclefarings.com.db

    // replace example.com with your domain name. do not forget the . after the domain name!
// Also, replace ns1 with the name of your DNS server
example.com.      IN      SOA     ns1.emotorcyclefairings.com. ns2.emotorcyclefairings.com. (

First, you need to delete the example information and start over. Second, if that sounds too daunting, step back, reread DNS & BIND again, and come back at it.

  • To start with, you've listed the example db file under your zone definition, and then listed the contents of the emotorcycle file.
  • Your SOA record is wrong.
  • You've listed private IP addresses, which is fine for internal zones, but incorrect for publicly facing DNS.
  • You've listed Google's DNS as your ns1. This will not serve you well.
