Question Regarding Fresh Install

[ems_484]

I am reading documentation of what requirements are to install Sentora. It made sense for me up until the part that it said Sentora needs a minimal install without services and what not, and a domain name with name servers. How can I configure name servers without installing bind, so then it wouldnt be a fresh system as Sentora wants. Can somebody help

Sentora installs the bind service for you

That means you basically need a domain that is already pointed at your server.

Thanks for the replies. I installed sentora, but bind isnt setup apparently. So I am configuring the name servers manually. Is this the correct path?

Bind is now active but my name servers arent there.

Have you added your main domain to the panel?  Using domain management then go into dns manager and create the default records. Then your nameservers will be created.

I cannot even get to my site because no name servers can be found. Nobody hosts my domain. I host my own. That is what I was trying to ask. How can it be a fresh install when there is no name servers or dns lookup to be found?

EDIT: I installed Sentora to domain.domain.com, but since DNS is unavailable because Bind is not configured. I can't access it.

I believe that you have not configured the nameservers on your domain, Sentora installs and configures bind to work with sentora.

I am confused by this. How can I configure bind "nameservers" for my domain (ex ns.domain.com; ns2.domain.com) if Sentora doesnt want me to? I know that Sentora installs bind, but when I go to configure it, it doesn't operate. Maybe CentOS7 is different. Maybe I will change back to 6.5 Final. I can't enter Sentora via the web because of the domain name having no dns resolver to get there, so I manually configure them, do a 'systemctl restart named", but still no go.

Anyone know?
