Curious about your post I did a quick google:

http://lani78.wordpress.com/tag/dhcp/

seems to have what you need.

You're setting up a hosting co -like system with sub-domains on the server?

pretty much if i understand u right.

but to clarify:

have a domain name ei: example.com

wants to add subdomains ei: myfirst.example.com

all on one server.

gonna take a look @ this, kind of sceptical of using the guide though, some guides work, then you do 1 thing extra that someone else posted and whole system crashes ~_~

had that happen to me quite a bit

but thanks for link tried finding one like this for 4 hours now, couldnt find anything.


any more input will be appreciated


Edit: Well i did read that tutorial, unless I'm blind its not what im looking for.

but thanks

nope, that's not it



have a look at
http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/ch9/delegate.html

This looks like something i need -- ty.


Edit:

Hey im skeptical of this configuration, last time i made the file named.conf, bind crashed on me >

is this the only way ?


thanks




Edit Also, not sure how to edit the bind files correctly ~ so any 1 can help to further the explanations go ahead and psot

[bfh]

Edited Post above a Few times.


Just wondering if "bind" configuration the best way to go, and will i need to edit my
dhcp3 files ?.


Also, Need some clarification on the editing not sure where to start ~, maby a more
noob style tutorial would be best -- searching tutorial section atm.

[bfh]

Okay I better start off from scratch.

Here Will explain all my settings currently on my server. Need help editing this though:

Settings on DHCP3:

dhcpd.conf

ddns-update-style none;

option domain-name "thesgc.ca";
option domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220;

default-lease-time 86400;
max-lease-time 604800;

authoritative;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
   range dynamic-bootp 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.75;
   option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
   option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
   option routers 192.168.0.1;
}

Settings On Bind9.

named.conf

// This is the primary configuration file for the BIND DNS server named.
//
// Please read /usr/share/doc/bind9/README.Debian.gz for information on the 
// structure of BIND configuration files in Debian, *BEFORE* you customize 
// this configuration file.

include "/etc/bind/named.conf.options";
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.local";
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones";

named.conf.local

// Do any local configuration here

// Consider adding the 1918 zones here, if they are not used in your
// organization
//include "/etc/bind/zones.rfc1918";

zone "example.com" {
        type master;
        file "/etc/bind/zones/thesgc.ca.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.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa";
};

named.conf.options

options {
        directory "/var/cache/bind";

        // If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
        // to talk to, you may need to fix the firewall to allow multiple

        // If your ISP provided one or more IP addresses for stable

        // Uncomment the following block, and insert the addresses replacing

         forwarders {
                 208.67.222.222;
                 208.67.220.220;
         };

        auth-nxdomain no;    # conform to RFC1035
        listen-on-v6 { any; };
};

rev.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa

@ IN SOA newNetwork.thesgc.ca. admin.thesgc.ca. (
                        2006081401;
                        28800;

Sub-Domains now work

need to figure out how to have use the www folder properly. (for the domain // sub-domain)

Apache2 is installed.

lmk if u find a guide on this, i had one earlier gonna search.

[koenn]

https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/httpd.html

you'll create 2 vhost definitions ('sites').
Use the ServerName directive to indicate with domain they correspond to
Let the DocumentRoot of each vhost point to a specific directory (eg subdirs of /var/www)

ty was using this guide from the start, its really good, but i ran into a snag ~

Getting this error on restart of apache:

apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName

Here my new sub-domain apache Code:

hopefully the problem is here not somewhere else.

Edit:
Going To need some help...

Apache working fine, not sure where the problem origin is ~ every thing works fine.

bind9 runs smooth
apache2 runs good also


but when i try loading up a subdomain, only the information in that is loaded is the
default file.

/var/www/index.html

does not load my sub domain script i want:

/var/www/boye/index.html

any ideas ?

[koenn]

the fix you point to is to set the ServerName to localhost. That's wrong for your case, and its the reason yuou get the default site.

Like I said:

you'll create 2 vhost definitions ('sites').
Use the ServerName directive to indicate with domain each vhost corresponds to
