The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Setting up a Subdomain on a Different Server

Asked by elsamman in Linux Networking

Tags: subdomain, server, different, up, setting

I am setting up several test servers that I want to be subdomains of my main server. This should be simple and I tried to follow the advice in this thread as best I could

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/Linux/Q_11957678.html

In my case I have a functioning "main" server than answers for maindomain.com and I want to add a series of test servers starting with vpscpanel.maindomain.com. Obviously I want this set up so that on vpscpanel.maindomain.com server I can create further subdomains and for this server to be fully functional in all respects (mail, ftp etc).

In the maindomain.com zone on my main server I added an A entry for the name server on my subdomain and an ns entry as well. My zone file on the main server for the maindomain domain is now:

Note these are exact files but with my real domain substituted for maindomain.com
---------------------------------------------------------------------
; Zone File for maindomain.com
@ 14400 IN SOA ns1.maindomain.com. root.host1.maindomain.com. (
2004081204

maindomain.com. 14400 IN NS ns1.maindomain.com.
maindomain.com. 14400 IN NS ns2.maindomain.com.
maindomain.com. 14400 IN A 64.62.139.18

localhost.maindomain.com. 14400 IN A 127.0.0.1

maindomain.com. 14400 IN MX 0 maindomain.com.

mail 14400 IN CNAME maindomain.com.
www 14400 IN CNAME maindomain.com.
ftp 14400 IN A 64.62.139.18
ns1 14400 IN A 64.62.139.18
ns2 14400 IN A 64.62.139.19
host1 14400 IN A 64.62.139.18
ns1.vpscpanel 60 IN A 65.98.36.72
vpscpanel 60 IN NS ns1.vpscpanel.maindomain.com
---------------------------------------------------------------------

On the subdomain (65.98.36.72) I created a master zone file for vpscpanel.maindomain.com

---------------------------------------------------------------------
$TTL 14400

@ 60 IN NS ns1.vpscpanel.maindomain.com.

60 IN A 65.98.36.72

ns1 60 IN A 65.98.36.72

vpscpanel.maindomain.com. 14400 IN MX 0 vpscpanel.maindomain.com.

ftp 14400 IN CNAME vpscpanel.maindomain.com.
host1 60 IN A 65.98.36.72

---------------------------------------------------------------------

This does not work at all and I cannot even ping for ns1.vpscpanel.maindomain.com
