Manual For BIND DNS Server on CentOS

1. Install BIND DNS server.

root@test [~]# yum update –y

root@test [~]# yum install bind –y

2. We'll open the BIND (named) configuration file and make several modifications.

root@test [~]# vi /etc/named.conf

3. Add the private IP address of ns1 to listen to port 53. (Local Machine IP 192.168.12.128)

listen-on port 53 { 192.168.12.128; };

4. Add the following lines under the options tab in “named.conf” file. (Local/Caching DNS)

recursion yes;

allow-transfer { localhost; };

allow-query { any; };

5. Under the [ view "localhost_resolver" ] add following lines (For Authoritative DNS)

match-clients { any; };

match-destinations { any; };
recursion no;

zone "." IN {
type hint;

file "/var/named/named.ca";

Provide the Path , where the Zone file is present.


"vi /var/named.rfc1912.zones"; or
“vi /etc/named.conf";

6. Now make the named.conf file and add the following lines.

root@test [~]# vi /etc/named/named.conf

zone "123.com" {

type master;

file “db.123.com” ;

};

7. Now make the directory for zone files.

Let's create the directory where our zone files will reside. According to our named.conf configuration,
that location should be /etc/named/zones:

root@test [~]# chmod 755 /var/named

root@test [~]# cd /var/named

[root@test named] # mkdir db.123.com

Afterwards go to vi /etc/resolv.conf

Add name server : 192.168.19.128

8. Create the Zone file as follows.


;
; Zone file for 123.com
;
$TTL 3D
@ IN SOA ns.dsl.net.pk. root.dsl.net.pk. (
2017052501 ; serial
6H ; refresh, seconds
2H ; retry, seconds
4W ; expire, seconds
1D ) ; minimum, seconds
;
NS ns.dsl.net.pk.
NS ns1.dsl.net.pk.
;
MX 0 mail.nayatel.com.
MX 5 smtp4.nayatel.com.
;
A 203.82.48.116

www A 203.83.48.116

9. Now restart the DNS BIND.

root@test [8~]# service named restart

Stopping named: . [ OK ]

Starting named: [ OK ]

10. Now check the zone file by following command.

root@test [~]# dig 123.com @192.168.12.128 (For Local/Caching DNS)

For Authoritative DNS :

Manual For Apache Server on CentOS (How to Virtually Host a


Website)

1) Install APACHE

yum install httpd

2) Create a Directory

The first step in creating a virtual host is to create a directory where we will keep the new website’s
information.

[root @test html] mkdir -p /var/www/html/abc

3) Create/Edit the Page

We need to create a new file called index.html within our configurations directory.

[root @test abc] vim /index.html

We can add some text to the file so we will have something to look at when the IP redirects to the
virtual host.

“This is my First Website “

4) Turn on Virtual Hosts

[root @test abc] Vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

#Listen 12.34.56.78:80

Prepared By : Syed Zeeshan Ali

Listen 80

Scroll down to the very bottom of the document to the section called Virtual Hosts.

NameVirtualHost *:80

# NOTE: NameVirtualHost cannot be used without a port specifier

# (e.g. :80) if mod_ssl is being used, due to the nature of the

# SSL protocol.

# VirtualHost example:

# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.

# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known

# server name.

<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerAdmin [email protected]

DocumentRoot /var/www/html/abc.com

ServerName www.abc.com

Prepared By : Syed Zeeshan Ali

ServerAlias abc.com

#ErrorLog /var/www/abc.com/error.log

#CustomLog /var/www/abc.com/requests.log

</VirtualHost>

5) Setting Up the Local Hosts

If want to try out your new virtual hosts without having to connect to an actual domain name (our case)
Vim /etc/hosts

6) Restart Apache

We’ve made a lot of the changes to the configuration. However, they will not take effect until Apache is
restarted.

Service httpd restart

7) Results
