DNS question and no name available via DNS and no reverse DNS errors

We are running an OS X server, 10.4.11, OD Master. We are getting some error messages, and we have setup DNS to forward requests for example.com. (our website) to our web developer's external web server where our website is being hosted.
Oct 15 10:29:05 [server name omitted] servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no name available via DNS for 192.168.0.5
Oct 15 10:29:05 [server name omitted] servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no reverse DNS entry for server, various services may not function properly
Oct 15 10:31:48 [server name omitted] /usr/sbin/PasswordService: incorrect digest response
- and -
Oct 15 09:54:00 [server name omitted] DirectoryService[103]: GSSAPI Error: Miscellaneous failure (Server not found in Kerberos database)
Some Background:
We are running internal DNS services only. We have a domain, example.com. and our OS X Server, server.example.com. We have a website that is being hosted offsite by our web developer. Long ago when they were setting up the SSL certificate for the site, they obtained a certificate for example.com INSTEAD of www.example.com. So, our web developer setup a redirect to redirect web requests to www.example.com to example.com.
Now, this brings us to our OS X server (server.example.com). We are hosting internal DNS with the same domain, example.com. When employees inside our LAN would put in our web address, example.com, or www.example.com, it would take them to our OS X server. As a workaround, in the DNS settings for the zone in server Admin, I set the Server IP address for the zone to "Other" and specified the external address to the server where the site is hosted by our developer then setup an A record for our server. (We cannot forward requests to www.example.com since our web developer automatically redirects these requests to example.com since that is where the SSL certificate and the search engines are linked to).
Well obviously this had serious repercussions for server stability. So, I set the server IP address back to the address of our OS X server itself, 192.168.0.5.
Now, I then went into command line and manually edited the zone files. Here's part of our zone file:
$TTL 3600
example.com. IN SOA server.example.com. sysadmin.example.com. (
2008031015 ; serial
3h ; refresh
1h ; retry
1w ; expiry
1h ) ; minimum
example.com. IN NS server.example.com.
example.com. IN A [external IP address of web server]
server IN A 192.168.0.5
We are getting the following error messages regularly:
Oct 15 10:29:05 [server name omitted] servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no name available via DNS for 192.168.0.5
Oct 15 10:29:05 [server name omitted] servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no reverse DNS entry for server, various services may not function properly
Oct 15 10:31:48 [server name omitted] /usr/sbin/PasswordService: incorrect digest response
- and -
Oct 15 09:54:00 [server name omitted] DirectoryService[103]: GSSAPI Error: Miscellaneous failure (Server not found in Kerberos database)
Questions:
Do I need to go back to our zone file and change the A record for example.com. to match our OS X server's address: 192.168.0.5?
Secondly, is there anything I can do in DNS or elsewhere on the server to redirect web requests to example.com to our web developer's offsite server since the developer's server redirects www.example.com to example.com?
Thanks in advance? I am stumped.
Thanks,
Tyler

Problem was resolved.
All I ended up doing was edition my reverse lookup file, db.192.168.0. It was correct, and I simply re-saved it without making any changes. Strangely enough, that did it. No idea why. Maybe a permissions issue with the file?
I'm still running the server with address record for the domain (example.com.) mapped to our external web server. no problems.

Servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no name available via DNS

Like most others here, I started receiving the following error message after upgrading to 10.4.6:
Jul 1 14:37:53 pagecentral servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no name available via DNS for 66.111.243.236
Actually I had other issues first, my hostname was improperly set. After fixing that I started getting this. I've scoured the boards, read the update from Apple, and I'm still confused. I'm running web, mail, and firewall through OSX Server and QuickDNS for DNS. everything is configured properly, at least I thought it was. I have rDNS records setup, and I have a PTR setup at the parent server that points to pagecentral.com
If I do "host pagecentral.com" in terminal it returns the proper ip.
What am I missing? Should I update the PTR record at the parent to include the subdomain? ns1.pagecentral.com instead of just pagecentral.com? I was originally told it should just be the domain... but that was quite a while ago, I'm sure things have changed since then.

Did you use the following when correcting your hostname info ?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303495
</snip>
Yes I did
<snip>
I agree with Leif, you should point the server at itself for DNS,
use 127.0.0.1
And I also agree that ou may wish or need to create forwarders entries for
ns1 and ns2.webhostplus.net.
</snip>
I'm little confused by this. can you explain more? Are you saying all the virtual domains should return 127.0.0.1 as their A record? If so, how would other machines know where to look for the domain? or am I missing this entirely? I cant control what is listed on the webhostplus servers as they are not mine. I beleive they will only provide me with the current record.
<snip>
When changing the entry for the DNS server(s) used,
don't just change it in the System Preference, you need to use the command-line tool, networksetup - this will ensure the change propagates to all necessary places.
</snip>
I use QuickDNS to handle DNS, how will doing this affect QuickDNS?
<snip>
I have no experience with QuickDNS, you should contact them as well since they should support their product and you paid for it. I would hope their support is excellent, based on one of the VP of R&D being Cricket Liu !
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/dns4/
</snip>
I use QuickDNS 5.03, unfortunately this products support ran out in June I believe, so I am relegated to the Knowledge base until I upgrade.
<snip>
Now then, looking at menandmice's own articles,
http://www.menandmice.com/knowledgehub/dnsqa/40
suggests that you may need to alter your dns entries so that the first ptr listing is for pagecentral.com.
</snip>
Pagecentral.com is the first listing in the record, but I took something different from that little article, to me, it says that only pagecentral.com should be listed there.

Getting this error, need help: No Name Available via DNS

Hello,
i was wondering if someone can help me out. i m being getting this error message xserver servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no name available via DNS for 192.168.0.XXX . The server is set up stand alone server, only being use to host Filemaker Pro Databases. i type hostname to see what it show me, it show me fmserver.local. the internal ip assign to it, it is static and the WAN IP is also static.
any help would be appreciate it.
thank you
victor

if you change your network interface's DNS to point to yourself, then you should add your isp's nameservers to the "fowarders" options in your /etc/named.conf file, so your nameserver, when it can't find a local or cached record to answer the query, can still use your ISPs nameserver to lookup the information...

Accessing LOV available via methods throws No Such Property error

I am using select <af:selectOneChoice> compoent (Same issue with other components too) with LOV from Model Driven data available in the following structure
Model(created as Data Control) -> findPD1(String s1, String s2) -> PD1(object of class PD1) -> findPD2(String s3) -> PD2(object of class PD2) -> List<String> itemValue
Where itemValue has get and set method.
While running I get the following error
JBO-29114 ADFContext is not setup to process messages for this exception. Use the exception stack trace and error code to investigate the root cause of this exception. Root cause error code is JBO-29000. Error message parameters are {0=groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException, 1=No such property: element for class: java.lang.String}
Where as, the same works if we move the itemValue under Model like
Model(created as Data Control) -> List<String> itemValue
I am using JDeveloper version 11.1.2.3 the same works fine with 11.1.1.2 is this a regression?
find some code from source below

Please help me to fix this issue
Thanks,

Hi Frank,
Thanks for your help.
Here I am using the LOV using Data Control binding so #{bindings.testValue.items} itself gives the Collection of 'SelectItem'
After some analysis I reduced the problem description.
Created below two classes in model project
public class MyData {
    private ClassOne co;
    public MyData() {
        super();
        co = new ClassOne();
        List<String> pp = new ArrayList<String>();
        pp.add("Item1");
        pp.add("Item2");
        pp.add("Item3");
        co.setPp(pp);
    public ClassOne findCO() {
        return co;
    public void setCo(ClassOne co) {
        this.co = co;
    public ClassOne getCo() {
        return co;
public class ClassOne {
    private List<String> pp;
    public ClassOne() {
        super();
    public void setPp(List<String> pp) {
        this.pp = pp;
    public List<String> getPp() {
        return pp;
}Created the Data Control from the Class MyData ( Right click MyData class select Create Data Control -> click OK)
Drag and drop findCO() --> pp in a jsf page (in view project) --> Run --> we are getting below Exception
oracle.jbo.JboException: JBO-29114 ADFContext is not setup to process messages for this exception. Use the exception stack trace and error code to investigate the root cause of this exception. Root cause error code is JBO-29000. Error message parameters are {0=groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException, 1=No such property: element for class: java.lang.String}
but if we remove getCo() and setCo() methods from MyData.java then it works perfectly fine
Also this problem didn't occur on 11.1.1.6 R1 but occurs on 11.1.2.3 R2.
Not able to understand this strange behavior, please help.
Hope this is an regression issue and need to raise the bug. Please confirm.
Is there any other workaround other than removing getCo() and setCo() methods?
Thanks,
Sabareesh.

No Name Available / No Reverse DNS Entry in System Log

On our network, we have two Macs running different versions of OSX Server software. Our "main" server is a G5 dual 2GHz (2.5 Gb RAM) running Leopard Server 10.5.6, and it runs most of our major services such as Open Directory (it’s designated an OD Master), Mail, Web, FTP and DNS. Our "secondary" server is an XServe dual 2.3GHz (G5) (2 Gb RAM) running Tiger Server 10.4.11. It only runs the AFP service and exists solely as our company’s fileserver. Both of its ethernet ports are connected to our company’s 10/100 switch, and the ports are configured as follows: Built-in Ethernet 2 (BSD Device Name en1) IP addr. 10.1.10.154; Built-in Ethernet 1 (BSD Device Name en0) IP addr. 10.1.10.152. In the Network control panel’s Network Port Configurations, Built-in Ethernet 2 (IP address 10.1.154) is moved to the top of the configuration window and as a result, Network Status indicates that that XServe "is connected to the Internet via Built-in Ethernet 2."
That said, I see the following every 30 minutes in the System log:
Apr 20 11:01:51 NAGXServe2 servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no name available via DNS for 10.1.10.154
Apr 20 11:01:51 NAGXServe2 servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no reverse DNS entry for server, various services may not function properly
This doesn’t cause any apparent problems in daily operation but if it’s something I could fix myself, I’d be willing to try. In the TCP/IP configuration for both ports, the DNS Server entry points to our "main" G5 server (which has a static IP address) and the Search Domain entry is that "main" G5 server’s domain name.
In the DNS setup on the "main" G5 server, its domain name is entered in the "Primary Zone" field and its static IP address is entered in the Reverse Zone field; Whois lookups work successfully both forward and backward. But there is no mention of our "secondary" server anywhere in the "main" G5 server’s DNS setup.
Thanks for any help!

I am going to assume that the IP addresses you have given are REAL.
You have to add an entry for NAGXServe2 in the DNS server's (NAGXServe1?) configs.
First, what you need to enter are hostnames. The zone/domainname (example.com) should resolve to one representative server (your main server) for www service's sake, but otherwise, even your main server should have its own hostname (hostname.example.com).
Let's say you already have an entry for your domain, example.com. This zone should already have one (or even two) A record, nagxserve1.example.com (and maybe example.com, without any hostname). You need to add another A record for nagxserve2.example.com with the IP address 10.1.10.154.
You do this buy selecting "Computer (A) record" from the "Add record" dropdown button. A new A record called "newMachine" should appear under the zone record. If you can't see it, try clicking on the little triangle next to the zone/domain name.

System.log DNS Error, help

Hi, I am using a fairly old app on my Server that runs on the desktop and reads log files (name of the app is MKConsole, it's VERY handy) and I keep getting this error...
"Jan 10 20:19:36 G4-Server servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no name available via DNS for 192.168.1.10
Jan 10 20:19:36 G4-Server servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no hostname set and unable to detect via DNS, services may not function properly - use changeip to repair"
I have tried using "chageip" and have done man changeip to see if I was missing anything but I was not, and the problem persists. Does anyone know a way to fix this? I don't think it is a problem with the DNS Services, because I have tried turning DNS services off and it still came up woth the error.
Thanks!

The problem isn't necessarily with your server, but the DNS server that it uses.
The server is trying to resolve its own IP address, so it's asking the DNS server for the reverse lookup of 192.168.1.10. The DNS server doesn't have a reverse entry for that IP, and that's why the server is complaining.
Your fix is to make sure that your DNS is setup correctly, with correct reverse DNS for your server.

I can't connect to Internet anymore (WIFI or Ethernet). This was working perfectly before. I don't get a proper IP address from my ADSL box and it seems there is a DNS error when accessing the Internet.

I have an issue with my MacBook pro (MAC OS X 10.8.3) when trying to access Internet. I am behind an ADSL box (Orange). I have a PC on the same LAN which accesses Internet perfectly via the same Box.
On the MAC, I have tried WIFI and Ethernet. And have same issue on both. I have checked the IP address (the ADSL box is a DHCP server) but the MAC doesn't get a proper IP and network mask I tried a manual IP address setup and it doesn't get better. I have setup the DNS servers for my Internet provider, but I get DNS error. I have tried 2 Internet browsers (Chrome and Safari), both have the same issue.
I tried to put my MAC on a different ADSL box (I have 2 acccesses with 2 providers at home) and get the same issue.
I also noticed a havy CPU load on the mDNSResponder process (at least 30%). I have restarted it, but no improvement.
Last, I have repared the permissions.
From those trials, it seems that the problem is on the Mac side. But I am completelly without any new idea, so I need help
Thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Airport express and Windows 8 dns error message

I have just purchased a HP windows 8 machine. It works fine on my old Airport (5 years) wireless, but with the Airport express it does not. I can connect with CAT5 cable direct. When I bring up the available connections I see the airport express and pick it, type in the password and it says connected. Next I click on IE and I get the error message "This page can't be displayed" I run the fix connection problems and it says "Your DNS server might be unavailable". Check list of items.
1. Windows 8 wireless machine works fine on old Airport
2. Windows 8 direct connect works fine on Airport Express amd old Airport
3. Windows 7 wireless machine works fine on both old Airport and Airport Express
I am using the default settings on the Airport express except password is being used.
Windows 8 >>>wireless>>>Airport Express>>>router
As suggestions?

What are the model numbers of both your Extreme and Express base stations? Do you have them configured for a 802.11n (extended) or 802.11g (WDS) Wi-Fi network?

AEBS and internet connection errors and dns errors.

AEBS 7.3.2
It was running fine until I turned on my mybook one day like I had done several times before.
I received an error regarding a disk error with it. I could not find any problems though. But since then my AEBS has been having difficulty connecting to the internet. I can download via bit torrent, but not be able to surf the internet. I restart my internet connection, which involves turning off the power supply and restarting it, and I can surf the internet again. However, I receive a DNS server error, but everything seems to be fine, and I can surf the internet.
If I restart the AEBS it will not allow me to surf the internet, even though it says everything is fine. I can actually manage to go to google and do google searches, cant navigate away from there, but none the less new content. I have managed to download via Itunes and bit torrent but not surf to hot mail.com etc.
I know I can ignore it and the flashing amber light will go away, but that ignores the problem and doesn't fix anything. besides it still says I have an Internet connection error from day one. I dont't know why, and no ones been able to help with that.
more info:
My isp uses a dynamic IP, so I have to use the automatic dhcp setting.
AEBS uses to go back to green light and automatically resolve the dns error, now not at all.
Please help, this is very frustrating.
thanks

Bump, and of course I have set the message to ignore, which created a green light and now have 2 unresolved problem and internet works.
Still have the DNS server error, despite manually putting it in.
Still have internet connection error despite having a connection.
If I restart my airport extreme, the DNS message goes away, but does not allow me to access the internet through any web browser, but it works through one of my computers via bit torrent, but nothing else.
If I rest my internet connection I can access the internet, but recieve the DNS error. The internet connection error I have always had, for reasons unknown.
Is the extreme broken?
I have done a factory reset on the airport and hard reset on the internet complete with the unplugging everything. My connection is stable according to my ISP, and I agree with them.
This seems to be a Airport extreme problem.

5800 (NAM RM-428) v40 available via NSU

Saw the other thread which indicated that v40 was available via FOTA.
Now v40.2.005 for 5800 XpressMusic (NAM RM-428, product code: 0577454) is available via NSU as well. 132MB download went quite smoothly.
Firmware is dated Mar 17, 2010 & I'm not sure when it became available via NSU...I haven't been checking lately. Even though I've registered with Nokia for updates, I never actually get email when an update is available. I do get their occasional "newsletter" email though.

Howdy.
Phones in US apparently don't get shipped with a server configuration for software updates, which is weird. Call Nokia support to see if they will give you the configuration. I tried the info that's posted on these forums (search for server update).
What I do is use NSU, which stands for Nokia Software Updater, a package you have to install on your PC. Do you have either PC Suite or Ovi Suite installed? If so you NSU should have been installed. Connect your phone and run that. Heed the warnings about making backups before updating!
[Update]
Saw in another thread that you may be using a Mac? In that case I don't know about NSU availability on the Mac. In case you're in an area where there's a Nokia Care Center (I believe that's only NYC and Chicago in the US, though I haven't checked lately), then you could go to them & have it updated, or find a PC where you can install NSU for updating your phone.
You might want to put your phone model and firmware in your signature so people can tell which 5800 you've got. Also if it's T-mobile branded, you may want to check with them about the update. My phone was unbranded and v40 is available via NSU. I'm now looking forward to v50.

I keep getting a Yahoo DNS error handler page, and can't even access the add-ons page to disable it because it redirects me to the Yahoo DNS page immediately

I have already seen some suggested solutions to the problem of this extremely annoying Yahoo DNS error solutions page, but they involve going to the add-ons page of firefox and disabling various add-ons. The issue is that even when I try to go to the add-ons page I get immediately redirected to the Yahoo DNS solutions page again.
I have cleared my browser history and cache, hoping it would help, but nothing. Extremely annoying as I never installed anything - it simply started after a Firefox upgrade.
Any help much appreciated.

Open the Help menu and choose Restart Firefox with Add-ons Disabled. Remove any offending extensions. For details, see the "Uninstall from Firefox Safe Mode" section of the following article.
