site not resolving, what's wrong with A Records ?

Posted on January 24, 2013

Is it normal that, after pointing ns from godaddy to digitalocean, subdomain are resolving but main site isn’t resolving at all ?

Here’s my raw config. Seems anything wrong. Maybe it’s my fault (i’m working from 12 hours) but according raw bind i don’t see errors.

You are missing the default record which is automatically created when you specify an IP for the domain during the domain create. <br> <br>Add an “A” record with the following: <br>“@” -> “111.111.111.111” <br> <br>And you should be all set. <br> <br>Also if you add another domain or a test domain you will see that this record is automatically generated and pointed to the IP you specify.

Upsss, my fault… Thank you for your valuable feedback :)

My bad, i had to sleep instead configuring servers.: www CNAME mysite.net. <br> <br>BTW, Thank you another time for your valuable feedback :)
