I’ve bought a domain gejr.dk
since it’s a .dk
the DNS records must be changed at dk-hostmaster.dk
which I have done, this is the current config.
Current nameservers
* ns1.digitalocean.com
* ns2.digitalocean.com
* ns3.digitalocean.com
No other configurations can be done at dk-hostmaster.
I configured my DNS records like this:
A gejr.dk directs to 68.183.208.10 3600
NS gejr.dk directs to ns1.digitalocean.com. 1800
NS gejr.dk directs to ns2.digitalocean.com. 1800
NS gejr.dk directs to ns3.digitalocean.com. 1800
I then followed this tutorial on how to setup Nginx https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-nginx-on-ubuntu-18-04
However when I reached the point where I should be able to go to http://gejr.dk
I get the error
This site can’t be reached
www.gejr.dk’s server IP address could not be found.
ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED
When I try to connect to the IP directly it works eg http://68.183.208.10/
shows test
After looking at multiple previous answers on similar questions, I changed my DNS records to this:
CNAME *.gejr.dk is an alias of gejr.dk. 43200
CNAME www.gejr.dk is an alias of gejr.dk. 43200
A gejr.dk directs to 68.183.208.10 3600
NS gejr.dk directs to ns1.digitalocean.com. 1800
NS gejr.dk directs to ns2.digitalocean.com. 1800
NS gejr.dk directs to ns3.digitalocean.com. 1800
But still it doesn’t work.
I have an index.html
located in /var/www/gejr.dk/html/index.html
this file should output something like Gejr.dk works!
and I have an index.html
located in /var/www/html/index.html
this file outputs test
It’s this file you see when you connect to the ip directly.
I have a file located in /etc/nginx/sites-available/gejr.dk
which contains the following:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
root /var/www/gejr.dk/html;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name gejr.dk www.gejr.dk;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
}
This file is linked with sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/gejr.dk /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
My Nginx Config file looks like this

In the Nginx error log this is everything
2019/01/03 14:16:33 [notice] 13789#13789: signal process started

Looks like it’s working now, right?
ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED
usually indicates a DNS caching issue, I bet it was either a slow update on dk-hostmaster.dk’s side, or cached DNS lookup info on your local network.
