I have installed cpanel on centos and changed my domain name server to ns1.digitalocean.com ns2, ns3. I am able to go to my main domain and every thing works fine with it, but when I try addind an addon domain it gives the following domain
Using nameservers with the following IPs: 141.0.170.89,198.199.95.114,198.199.120.125 Sorry, the domain is already pointed to an IP address that does not appear to use DNS servers associated with this server. Please transfer the domain to this servers nameservers or have your administrator add one of its nameservers to /etc/ips.remotedns and make the proper A entries on that remote nameserver.
Now I am a complete noob in linux and vps , the above message for me is a rocket science. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

there is no such file called “/etc/ips.remotedns”, there are ips, ips.dnsmaster file and both of them are empty. <br>
@hypertextsol: I’m having this problem, too. :( On my other server from another company, I successfully added a new domain by following this guide - http://blogerr.net/adding-addon-domains-and-subdomains-to-your-web-hosting-account/ - but on my linux server with DigitalOcean, I keep getting the same error message as you. I tried checking “/etc/ips.remotedns” but it’s empty.
