configure server and create website without any control panel

Question

i am trying to configure my new server without cpanel

i've installed php/mysql/apache

And it's now working fine

if you visit the server ip

http://46.166.129.101/

you'll see the welcome page

i've configured my dns too

my nameserverips file

[root@server]# cat /etc/nameserverips
46.166.129.101=ns1.isellsoftwares.com
46.166.129.101=ns2.isellsoftwares.com

if you visit this link http://ns1.isellsoftwares.com

you'll see the welcome page too!!

but if you visit isellsoftwares.com

you'll see ( 'Firefox can't find the server at www.isellsoftwares.com.' )

Now my question is: How to create an account for this domain on the server??

i've tryied to add virtualHost tag in apache

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    ServerAlias www.isellsoftwares.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/issoft
    ServerName isellsoftwares.com
    ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
    CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

it still not working ...

i've added named file for this domain (( isellsoftwares.com.db ))

; Zone file for isellsoftwares.com
$TTL 14400
isellsoftwares.com.     86400   IN      SOA     ns1.isellsoftwares.com. elsolgan.yahoo.com.     (

                                                86400 ;minimum
        )

ns2     14400   IN      A       46.166.129.101

but it still not working !!!!!

So, what else i should do??

Answer 1

There are many things wrong with your configuration.

First, there are no public DNS records for ns1.isellsoftwares.com or ns2.isellsoftwares.com. I would highly recommend you not host your own DNS on a single server you control. Many registrars and hosting providers offer much better, redundant DNS hosting.

I queried Verizon and Google for your ns records using the following commands:

dig ns1.isellsoftwares.com @4.2.2.2
dig ns2.isellsoftwares.com @8.8.8.8

Next, if you did have the proper records pointing the nameserver name to the correct IP address, it's not able to be queried from the Internet. By using dig again I can send a query directly to your DNS server:

dig isellsoftwares.com @46.166.129.101

However, this produced a REFUSED error:

; <<>> DiG 9.7.3-P3-RedHat-9.7.3-8.P3.el6_2.2 <<>> isellsoftwares.com @46.166.129.101
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: REFUSED, id: 31993
;; flags: qr rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; WARNING: recursion requested but not available

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;isellsoftwares.com.        IN  A

;; Query time: 83 msec
;; SERVER: 46.166.129.101#53(46.166.129.101)
;; WHEN: Thu Mar 29 12:39:24 2012
;; MSG SIZE  rcvd: 36

If I trick my local system to bypass DNS by adding the following to /etc/hosts, it works as advertised.

46.166.129.101  isellsoftwares.com www.isellsoftwares.com

Also, where did you get /etc/nameserverips, I've never heard of this file.
