Problems after domain change

[spokz]

Hi.

I changed domain from example.pl to example.com.pl (according to Zimbra Wiki Zmsetservername) with these steps:

- add new domain to DNS

$TTL 86400 ; 1 day
@ IN SOA ns1.example.com.pl. root.example.com.pl. (
 2011051502 ; Serial
 86400 ; Refresh 24h
 900 ; Retry 15min
 604800 ; Expire 1 week
 86400 ) ; Minimum 1 day
@       IN      NS      ns1.example.com.pl.
@       IN      NS      ns1.other.org.
@       IN      NS      srvr.example.com.pl.
@       IN      A       83.16.154.37
@       IN      MX  10  srvr.example.com.pl.
@       IN      TXT     "v=spf1 ip4:12.12.12.12 a:srvr.example.com.pl -all"
ns1     604800  IN      A       12.12.12.12
ns2     604800  IN      A       13.13.13.13
wbsrvr          IN      A       13.13.13.13
www             IN      CNAME   wbsrvr
srvr          IN      A       12.12.12.12
mail          IN      CNAME   srvr

- remove old domain from DNS

- edit named.conf

- DNS restart

- go to maintenance mode (zmprov md domain.pl zimbraDomainStatus maintenance)

- edit /etc/hosts

srvr:/etc/bind# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost
10.10.10.37     srvr.example.com.pl     srvr

- edit /etc/network/interfaces

srvr:/etc/bind# cat /etc/network/interfaces
(...)
        dns-nameservers 194.204.159.1 194.204.152.34
        dns-search example.com.pl

- edit /etc/resolv.conf

srvr:/etc/bind# cat /etc/resolv.conf
search exmaple.com.pl
nameserver 194.204.159.1
nameserver 194.204.152.34

- check if old domain presents in /etc (rgrep example.pl /etc/*)

srvr:/etc/bind# rgrep example.pl /etc/*
File /etc/aliases.db matches

- reboot machine

- check if old domain presents in zimbra config (zmlocalconfig | grep srvr.example.pl)



Now the situation is that I cannot open website (site not found) and the zmcontrol status shows:

zimbra@srvr:~$ zmcontrol status
Unable to determine enabled services from ldap.
Enabled services read from cache. Service list may be inaccurate.
Host srvr.example.com.pl
        antispam                Running
        antivirus               Running
        ldap                    Running
        logger                  Stopped
                zmlogswatchctl is not running
        mailbox                 Stopped
                zmmailboxdctl is not running.
        mta                     Running
        snmp                    Running
        spell                   Running
        stats                   Running
        zmconfigd               Stopped
                zmconfigd is not running.

so I also cannot run zmprov command.

That command isn't for changing the domain name it's for changing the hostname of the server.

Two problems in your configuration. First, you should never use a CNAME to point to your mailserver as you're likely to lose mail - it should be an A & MX record and nothing else. Second, your hosts file is incorrect so you should go to the Split DNS article (or the Quick STart Installation Guide or many threads on these forums) and check that for the correct format of the hosts file.

I went thru your suggestions and changed CNAME to A record. It looks like this right now:

$TTL 86400 ; 1 day
@ IN SOA ns1.example.pl. root.example.pl. (
2011051901 ; Serial
86400 ; Refresh 24h
900 ; Retry 15min
604800 ; Expire 1 week
86400 ) ; Minimum 1 day
@ IN NS ns1.example.pl.
@ IN NS ns1.example.org.
@ IN NS mlsrvr.example.pl.
@ IN A <external IP address>
@ IN MX 10 mlsrvr.example.pl.
@ IN TXT "v=spf1 ip4:<external IP address> a:mlsrvr.example.pl -all"
ns1 604800 IN A <external IP address>
ns2 604800 IN A <other external IP address>
wbsrvr IN A <external IP address>
www IN CNAME wbsrvr
mlsrvr IN A <external IP address>
mail IN A <external IP address>

After correction my hosts file looks like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.10.10.37 mlsrvr.example.pl mlsrvr

Could You please tell me if these changes I made are correct?

The hosts file is correct but your DNS records are pointing to the wrong IP address. Follow the instructions in the Split DNS article, it has all the details of what's needed for your DNS records and which IP address they should use.
