Domains Not Resolving

There are a few common reasons that domains do not resolve to a new server:

  1. Propagation has not occurred

  2. DJBDNS is stopped

  3. Full partition

Propagation Has Not Occurred

After moving a domain to a new IP, it can often take 24-49 hours for propagation to fully occur. DNS propagation may be checked with a DNS checker such as https://www.whatsmydns.net/.

DJBDNS is Stopped

  1. Log in to the server at the CLI as root, either via SSH or from the terminal

  2. Check the status of dbjdns

    service djbdns status
    

Full Partitions

  1. Log in to the server at the CLI as root, either via SSH or from the terminal

  2. Use df -h to check open space on the partitions. If any are listed at 100%, clearing space may be required

    [root@server ~]# df -h
