Question
Getting 404 bluehost error
- Posted August 7, 2013
Hello, I have just setup my web application onto ubuntu. Also configured apache to work with tomcat. The application works perfectly fine when I access the website using a url having the ip address of the droplet. Something like http://192.241.207.181/
But if I try with the logical name assigned to this IP address (account.indusminds.com), I get sucess page many time and a lot of times I get 404 error and a page of bluehost.com is displayed saying that resource being tried to access is unavailable or moved temporarily.
PLease help in resolving this issue. I have checked all logs including access logs as well and there are no hits for 404 error.

Where are you hosting your DNS records? Have you considered transferring them to the DigitalOcean DNS Manager?
you are a start yes there is a dns problem and I get a message <br> <br>“No name servers found for account.indusminds.com. <br>Received answer from ns2.bluehost.com <br>A search was performed starting with the root servers, but no NS records were found for this domain.” <br> <br>strangely the pinging succeeds, sorry but I am a novice in this area and appreciate any pointers to resolve this issue
Thank you. But it is random, if I have to split 60% of time it works and 40% not. I will anyway try the tool but if you can comment on random behaviour?
Sounds like a DNS issue. Use the tool @ <a href=“http://www.webdnstools.com/dnstools/domain_check”>WebDNSTools</a> to troubleshoot.
