acalvert Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 I recently registered a domain with TCH. It shows up as active in my account which is cool, but I also see this message: ORG new registrations, transfers and changes are subject to acceptance by the registry which is currently off-line for maintenance. We will process your registrations, transfers, and other changes as soon as the registry becomes available. Please know that this may take up to one-week to process. Is this saying my domain might not be active for up to a week? Thanks.... Quote
Lianna Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Please read this post for more information: .ORG Registry Transition While unlikely, yes there could be a delay in the propagation for up to one week. Lianna Quote
acalvert Posted January 28, 2003 Author Posted January 28, 2003 Great, thanks for the reply. Is there anything else I need to do? I have set the DNS servers for the domain. I guess I expected to see more of a DNS management interface...i.e. create records. Is this done automatically? Quote
Lianna Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Yep, that's all you have to do. Sweet, huh? Take some time to read cPanel documentation. It's very helpful, too. And while you have so much time to kill, you can check out some of Section31's freebie list! Welcome aboard. Lianna Quote
acalvert Posted January 28, 2003 Author Posted January 28, 2003 Sweet indeed! I am still a little confused though. Using nslookup, I did the following. Any idea why I'm getting the "bad error value" when attempting the LS -D command? > server a.gtld-servers.net Default Server: a.gtld-servers.net Address: 192.5.6.30 > matthenderson17.com Server: a.gtld-servers.net Address: 192.5.6.30 Name: matthenderson17.com Served by: - ns3.totalchoicehosting.com 66.11.163.212 matthenderson17.com - ns4.totalchoicehosting.com 66.11.163.213 matthenderson17.com > server ns3.totalchoicehosting.com Default Server: ns3.totalchoicehosting.com Address: 66.11.163.212 > ls -d matthenderson17.com [ns3.totalchoicehosting.com] *** Can't list domain matthenderson17.com: BAD ERROR VALUE Quote

Lianna Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 What IP address were you given in your welcome letter for hosting of this domain? If it wasn't 66.11.163.212, please drop a help desk ticket with SITE DOWN in subject. Pertinent info to include: Username Password Domain name NS listed in welcome letter IP address listed in welcome letter HelpDesk Thanks. Lianna Quote
acalvert Posted January 29, 2003 Author Posted January 29, 2003 Thanks Lianna....I have submitted the case. Alan Quote
Lianna Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 Yeah, sorry Alan. I had read this yesterday and then was distracted. Forgot to come back to it. Lianna Quote
acalvert Posted January 30, 2003 Author Posted January 30, 2003 Just for the sake of discussion, how does all of the DNS stuff shake out? I come from a large corporate network environment (25,000 users) and the only DNS I know is Microsoft in that type of situation. I'm accustomed to having a nice console in front of me...and being able to create my own records, view dynamically created records, etc. Here, I feel like I've bought a house, and I'm being forced to stand outside and peer in the window. Would someone mind filling in a sheltered Microsoft admin? I'm sure I have probably overlooked something on my Control Panel. Quote
