DNS Manager Not Working ? aaPanel pdns Alternative and fix namesevers [Tutorial]

After a few days, I realized that DNS Manager not working at all. I don't know this problem is only for [ .ir ] (Iranian) domains or maybe other domains like ( .com | .net ) and etc not working too. Anyway I used the bind9 instead of default panel DNS Manager (pdns) to solve namesever problem. I don't want to make this article long, so I will explain it very simply.

1 - open termial and type:

apt install bind9

2 - then type:

apt install bind9 dnsutils

3 - make sure if bind9 installed successfully (it must print bind9 version):

named -v

3 - open (files) from panel and then type (/var/cache/bind ) to navigate there.

Note 1 : create a file and file name must be like db.ibehrooz.ir format and copy below contents into it .
Note 2 : replace your domain name instead of ibehrooz.ir and 121.80.123.124 instead of your server ip .
Note 3 : make sure there is a new empty line in the end of file (look at line 24 in the picture).
Note 4 : if you have another domain, just make a new file like this format in /var/cache/bind directory and fill it with your own website info .

file content is:

;
; BIND data file for local loopback interface
;
$TTL    604800
@       IN      SOA     ns1.ibehrooz.ir. root.ibehrooz.ir. (
                              1          ; Serial
                         604800          ; Refresh
                          86400          ; Retry
                        2419200          ; Expire
                         604800 )        ; Negative Cache TTL
 
@       IN      A       121.80.123.124
 
@       IN      NS      ns1.ibehrooz.ir.
ns1     IN      A       121.80.123.124
 
@       IN      NS      ns2.ibehrooz.ir.
ns2     IN      A       121.80.123.124
 
@       IN      MX      10      mail
mail    IN      A       121.80.123.124
 
www     IN      A       121.80.123.124

4 - open (files) from panel and then type (/etc/bind/ ) to navigate this directory and open named.conf.local file.

Note 1 : open named.conf.local and copy below contents into it .
Note 4 : if you have another domain, just make a new zone for it .

zone content is:

zone "ibehrooz.ir" {
        type master;
        file "db.ibehrooz.ir";
};

5 - open terminal and type :

systemctl restart bind9
dig @121.80.123.124 ibehrooz.ir any
dig @121.80.123.124 ibehrooz.ir any +noall +answer

Note 1 : replace your own ip and domain into that cmd .
Note 4 : if you have another domain, just run cmd 2 and 3 again for your second domain .
