Hey there DP'ers! After seeing way too many threads like “nameserver deleted!†or “help im stupid I deleted my nameserver! “what do I do? I don’t know how to make a namesere?!?!†I thought id make this guide/tutorial, this will cover most topics concerning server problems. Here are the topics Nameserver Creation: To make a nameserver do the following, it includes 2 things, 1- Entry at domain registrar 2- Entry at server First go to your Domain registrar and: 1. Find – “Nameserver Registration†< that is on namecheap OR “Domain Host Entry†2. And set your nameservers with the main ip of your server Please Do this first before continuing Now lets do the server entry 3. Go to basic cpanel setup: 4. Go to nameservers areas 5. Add your nameservers 6. Click Add an A entry 7. In the pop up window click Add entry And you’re done Nameserver Deleted: Ok first of all nameservers are a value (variable) not a constant so you can not delete it, how ever you can change the value to anything, losting a nameserver MIGHT cause downtime at times but nothing more then that. Ok o lets see what to do to get your nameservers inserted again. 1. Go into whm as root 2. Click ‘’ Basic cPanel/WHM Setup’’, it is on the top left, the very first option : 3.Now scroll down and find the nameservers area 4. Now follow the picture: 5. After you have clicked the “Add an “A†entry†button, a window will pop like this 6. Click “Add entry†This should add your nameserver. DNS Ok if you are getting a message in your "create account process about "This domains dns entry exists please remove it to continue" or something similar, this means that this account was deleted but the dns zone entry was left behind. On the left bar scroll down till you see "DNS Functions" Click Delete a DNS Zone Now find the domain you tried to enter earlier that didnt work here. And delete it here. Now try creating the account again! Skeleton Directory (Pre defined accounts) Ok this is a nifty trick, you can preset what files should be made when an account is created on the server, this is great for proxy owners to have their proxy files already there when they make an account. Lets see how to do it Lets say x1.com is the reseller account with access to whm. and a1.com and a2.com are domains NOT YET ADDED TO THE SERVER. To have the same files on all domains created you need to do this. Go to x1.com's ftp dir. go to root there should be a folder called "cpanel3-skel" put all files you want in the public_html folder under cpanel3-skel and there on all accounts you create in whm will have all files inside cpanel3-skel/public_html heres how you do it for root server get this first http://winscp.net/ now login to your server as ROOT you will see the same folder "cpanel3-skel" in the root folder there place all files there and you're good ============================================ ============================================ ============================================ I hope this helped if you need any further server help post here. Please leave rep if this helped you. Don't hesitate and in posting your questions here ill try to update and extend this topic for all of these cpanel probs Thanks
