Resolver Configuration

For WHM version 11.32

This feature allows you access to a configuration wizard for editing the /etc/resolv.conf file. This file will contain the names of the nameservers that your server will query in order to convert, or “resolve,” domain names into IP addresses.

  • Click Proceed to continue to the next page.

This page allows you to enter 2 or 3 resolvers for your server to use. Your server will require at least 2 resolver IP addresses; the third (tertiary) address is optional. You should be able to obtain resolver IP addresses from your data center.

PICK Important: If these resolvers are misconfigured, your server will not function properly as, ultimately, it will not be connected to the Internet.

To enter and configure your resolvers:

  1. Type 2 IP addresses into the Primary and Secondary Resolver fields. note Note: Your resolver IP addresses should be provided by your data center.
  2. Enter a third resolver IP address if you have one.
  3. Click Continue.
  • If you are having difficulty connecting to the Internet even after configuring your resolvers, you should check /etc/resolv.conf to ensure that it is properly configured.
