CNAME rule being ignored
- by Ben
On a server with Plesk installed I have added a CNAME rule pointing from one of the sites subdomains to an external website.
I have checked the named configuration for that domain name and it shows the CNAME however the sub domain just points to the default server page and ignores the CNAME rule. Named has been restarted and I've also run the rvmng reconfigure-vhost command.
I edited another server to test this, on cPanel, and it works fine.
The conf file for the domain:
; *** Ts file is automatically generated by Plesk ***
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA ns.example.com. cf.example1.com. (
1292946742 ; Serial
10800 ; Refresh
3600 ; Retry
604800 ; Expire
10800 ) ; Minimum
example.com. IN NS ns.example.com.
ns.example.com. IN A xx.xxx.xxx.xx
example.com. IN A xx.xxx.xxx.xx
webmail.example.com. IN A xx.xxx.xxx.xx
mail.example.com. IN A xx.xxx.xxx.xx
beta.example.com. IN A xx.xxx.xxx.xx
ftp.example.com. IN CNAME example.com.
www.example.com. IN CNAME example.com.
login.example.com. IN CNAME socialize.gigya.com.
example.com. IN MX 10 webmail.example.com.
You can see the CNAME rule in the file but it just gets ignored?
Thanks in advance for any help.
