Subs on a server?

MartinHa · #1 (**permalink**) 11-21-2003, 07:19 PM

As we set a wildcard *.server.com subs are working....

When we restart the server with plesk all are gone??

Any idea how to set it? So as we restart the server with plesk all wildcards are staying as we set......

This is how we've set the dns on at our server

<domain>. NS ns. <domain>.

<domain>. A <ip>

ns. <domain>. A <ip>

*. <domain>. A <ip>

webmail. <domain>. A <ip>

ftp. <domain>. CNAME <domain>.

mail. <domain>. CNAME <domain>.

<domain>. MX 10 mail. <domain>.

<ip>/24 PTR <domain>.

What can I do in plesk or with the dns settings so subs are working without plesk over rules the settings I do set on the server..

so help.myserver.com works... I set on a php to let all work now...
And after restart at plesk I must set all again...

*.<domain>.A <domain>. or some?

That's why cpanel is superior, lol !
You can set up subdomains in 10 seconds.

I don't know plesk that well, but I think you're doing it wrong.
I believe you need to create a domain, like you normally would, but uncheck www and type full subdomain like: sub.domain.com

Looking briefly at the post, I see two things right away.
CNAME records are used to point to A records, so change the *.domain to a CNAME.
An MX record is in effect a CNAME record and so needs to be pointing to an A NAME record, so change the mail.domain to an A NAME. . .
