I am a bit new to the servers. I still want to ask one question, and yes I know its a noob question but still... So I bought one domain from amazon AWS. The domain name is droni-bg.eu. Do you know how can I check the correct namespaces and SOA for my domain? I tried to setup, but still does not work with these settings: enter image description here Please help me finish my task. Thanks in advance. I want to add that when I try to hit the given ip from my browser - it works. So that dns setup is the tricky part now. enter image description here

SOA looks fine. QUESTION TITLE UPDATED enter image description here

  • That's odd, the record is butchered. Why didn't you keep the default value? – eckes Apr 23 '17 at 12:20
  • that a nice question and the answer is because I am re****ed, but I already deleted it – strash Apr 23 '17 at 12:21
  • I didn't expect I won't be able to create new one – strash Apr 23 '17 at 12:22
  • There is a example in the doc on the right, just change example.net with your domain. (Hopefully this works since switching the serial can be a pain) – eckes Apr 23 '17 at 12:22
  • or I didnt expect amazon will delete the information without the posibility to use the default wizard again – strash Apr 23 '17 at 12:23
  • @eckes the problem is I dont know how to build that thing. Example: ns.example.net. hostmaster.example.com. 1 7200 900 1209600 86400 – strash Apr 23 '17 at 12:24
  • I dont know the hostmaster nor the right numbers, nor how to retreive them – strash Apr 23 '17 at 12:25
  • if I buy new ***.eu domain I can see the correct info and copy it maybe. But I am sure there is a way without buying new domain. – strash Apr 23 '17 at 12:26
  • that is a major feature for the amazon aws I think. as they gave me the correct setup so easy- there should be a button for setting the default host zones (will be good next to the domains view) – strash Apr 23 '17 at 12:29
  • You can BTW use one of the free DNS test tools like http://dnscheck.pingdom.com/ – eckes Apr 23 '17 at 12:35
  • does not work I will update the question with the setup screen in a second – strash Apr 23 '17 at 12:36
  • updated. Now can we check the Default namespaces that a domain is getting? – strash Apr 23 '17 at 12:37
  • maybe they are wrong - these 4 – strash Apr 23 '17 at 12:38
  • The SOA can be used 1:1, the first entry must be one of the existing nameservers, the second is a email address with @ replaced by ., the numbers can be taken 1:1 (but the serial must be same or larger as the last one amazon has seen) – eckes Apr 23 '17 at 12:41
  • What is the problem after changing it? – eckes Apr 23 '17 at 12:42
  • @eckes yes I changed the SOA, but still not the namespaces – strash Apr 23 '17 at 12:43
  • I suppose they are random too – strash Apr 23 '17 at 12:43
  • Sorry I don't understand? What namespaces? There is nothing random in the SOA. Do you get a error message, if yes what? – eckes Apr 23 '17 at 12:44
  • Do you mean you changed the NS records? Have you tried the Test button at the top? If you changed the name records I am afraid you would have to involve AWS support to get them restored – eckes Apr 23 '17 at 12:46
  • I will check the route53 console for a test domain later to see if there is a way to restore this stuff. – eckes Apr 23 '17 at 12:48
  • SOA looks perfect, namespaces I tried to get by querying my given ip – strash Apr 23 '17 at 12:48
  • 34.206.198.206 with a random tool that gave me these namespaces – strash Apr 23 '17 at 12:49
  • NS means nameservers not namespaces. Only amazon can tell you which are the right ones. – eckes Apr 23 '17 at 12:49
  • aftraid that strategy does not work :( – strash Apr 23 '17 at 12:49
  • nameservers. I am very far from networking I am pure backend java and sql and product owner and now – strash Apr 23 '17 at 12:50
  • I have to setup that test environment so a journalist to take a look at the woocomerse that I setup so he do seo for a business – strash Apr 23 '17 at 12:50
  • and that delete of the hosted zones... can't be... amazon have a big defect in the software if it is imposible to recover easy – strash Apr 23 '17 at 12:51
  • I think there should be a way to query the nameservers for the given domain name isn't it? – strash Apr 23 '17 at 12:52
  • I added ananswer, the most important part is the last senence :) – eckes Apr 23 '17 at 13:14

The SOA and NS records are critical for the functioning of a DNS zone.

The SOA record contains some timeouts (you can use the defaults as listed in the example), it contains a email address in case somebody wants to contact the administrator of the zone. You can put any of your e-mails there, by default an email like hostmaster@droni-eu.bg is used. There is one specialty: you must replace the '@' sign in the email address with a '.'. The first entry should be the name of your primary nameserver. It could be something like ns.droni-eu.bg, but I would pick the first AWS name server (see below). The last parameter which is important is the serial number, it can only go up. In your case it is 1, but each change might change it, and if you put a date there you might need to use the next day (i.e. numerically increase it). (but since dates are uncommon on route53 I would try 1 and see if it propagates anyway).

SOA Value: ns-720.awsdns-26.net. hostmaster.droni-bg.eu. 1 7200 900 1209600 86400

The NS records describe the name servers for your zone. They are typically assigned by your DNS hoster, in that case AWS. If you dont know what name servers amazon has assigned you you can go to the Route53 console in the Zone overview, if you click on your public zone the text box on the right will list you the name servers. Here is a sample with mine:

enter image description here

This is also described here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/SOA-NSrecords.html

The NS provisioned by AWS are different for each AWS customer/zone but they have to be the ones assigned by AWS for your domain.

The same NS will also have to be entered in the parent zone. Currently the following nameservers are known by the parent zone (I asume AWS set them so they should be the same as you see in the console):

$ dig ns droni-bg.eu @nl.dns.eu

droni-bg.eu.            86400   IN      NS      ns-720.awsdns-26.net.
droni-bg.eu.            86400   IN      NS      ns-1608.awsdns-09.co.uk.
droni-bg.eu.            86400   IN      NS      ns-109.awsdns-13.com.
droni-bg.eu.            86400   IN      NS      ns-1366.awsdns-42.org.

These servers currently refuse queries for the zone, this might be because you they have been removed from the NS record. If they are the same as listed on the overview paged and you have entered them it should work. If not you need to contact AWS support and tell them to re-enable it. If you have a basic account I would at least try a forum post, you will not be able to fix Amazons name servers if the need a kick.

BTW: the order of NS records does not matter, but I would put the first one from the overview page first in the NS records and copy it to the SOA record (for other DNS providers there is a clear distinction between primary and secondaries, I guess AWS does not need that)

  • still can't make it work :( changed to these. I also read the article. Amazon is giving endpoint to querry all my existing hosted zones, but not all the transaction, so that wont work too. – strash Apr 23 '17 at 13:20
  • Maybe the amazon are hiding it – strash Apr 23 '17 at 13:22
  • behind firewall or something – strash Apr 23 '17 at 13:22
  • i will update my new config in a minute – strash Apr 23 '17 at 13:23
  • updated it with a screenshot of the last config – strash Apr 23 '17 at 13:24
  • @gen.Strash Contact AWS about this. As in your other question, you're proving that you have no desire to actually understand any of this, but rather are just looking to get free consulting. – EEAA Apr 23 '17 at 13:31
  • @EEAA I want to understand, how did you judge such things thats more weird – strash Apr 23 '17 at 13:34
  • I want to understand how to query information that should be public for my account – strash Apr 23 '17 at 13:34
  • I can use endpoints without guis very well but I dont see such an endpoint or posibility. I dont want support for smomething that should be public, isn't it – strash Apr 23 '17 at 13:35
  • and I don't want free consulting I am asking stack overflow network and here is no way to pay. And I don't want to ask amazon if it is possible the other way- its also interesting if there is a way around it – strash Apr 23 '17 at 13:36
  • 1) You removed the NS records. You'll need to contact AWS to verify what they should be set to. 2) If you don't want to use a GUI, all AWS products have full API support. – EEAA Apr 23 '17 at 13:51
