Linode Forum

[florent2]

Hello,

I tried to configure the DNS to have a custom domain on a Blogger blog. I followed the instructions of http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=55373 (CNAME and 'A' NAME records) to give my Blogger blog the address blog-fr.mydomain.com

It works in the sense that blog.mydomain.com correctly points to my Blogger blog. However the Linode DNS manager checkzone shows me the following error:

Code:
CHECKZONE DIDN'T LIKE SOMETHING

dns_master_load: /tmp/linode-named-checkzone.txt:31: blog-fr.mydomain.com: CNAME and other data
zone mydomain.com/IN: loading from master file /tmp/linode-named-checkzone.txt failed: CNAME and other data


I did not care so much until I tried to add another custom domain blog.mydomain.com for another Blogger blog.

This time the second domain blog.mydomain.com does not work, when I type in this address in my browser, the blog is not found. The Linode DNS manager checkzone shows me the following error:

Code:
CHECKZONE DIDN'T LIKE SOMETHING

dns_master_load: /tmp/linode-named-checkzone.txt:35: blog-fr.mydomain.com: CNAME and other data
dns_master_load: /tmp/linode-named-checkzone.txt:36: blog.mydomain.com: CNAME and other data
zone mydomain.com/IN: loading from master file /tmp/linode-named-checkzone.txt failed: CNAME and other data


Here is my zone file: http://pastie.org/743305

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Regards,
Florent

You have A records and CNAME records for "blog" and "blog-fr". You can not do this. Either A _or_ CNAME; not both.

Thanks Stephen! I removed the CNAME entries and now it works :)
