Error no such host is known

[durangod]

My host name is a valid hostname but yet i get this when i go to update my license

 

Last Error: (-6) No such host is known

 

any ideas what i might try, thanks

[durangod]

i wonder if this is because i am logged in as the ip and not the host name

 

nope that made no difference, still get the error...

 

ok folks how do i update the license manually, anyone know?

Thanks Dennis, looks like im having an issue with my DNS reaching out to master.tcadmin.net just trying to troubleshoot it. .

 

I can ping 8.8.8.8 but not google.com i have my dns setup with the free cloudflare and so im wondering if i may need to add an A record in the cloudflare set up for the master.tcadmin.net

 

Still trying to sort it out lol...

 

or i might need to open a port, i dont have any udp ports open at all. However i do have the following open tcp ports in CSF 8880,8881,8890,8891,443,80,58,25,465,587 both in and out.

I have no clue how cloudflare works.

But I doubt you'd need to add in A records for other domains.

Seems your server is not resolving at all.

DNS is port 53.

Im not running my own dns at the moment, i have the bind turned off. I am running my dns via cloudflares free plan just so i can stay up for now. I will work on my dns later.

 

What alot of people do is they sign up for cloudflare free plan then add their domain, then add a custom A record to the DNS open of cloudflare and put their hostname in there and the ip of their server, then that name will resolve on the server.
