    Hi,

    I have just installed centminmod 123.09beta01 and I am struggling here

    Whenever I do wget, yum or anything that requires internet I get this:

    Resolving github.com... failed: Name or service not known.
    wget: unable to resolve host address 'github.com'

    It seems to not be able to ping any website either, so I dont know what Ive done wrong.

    Regards

    Server's local dns resolver might not be working

    What output do you get from ssh commands while logged into your server
    Code (Text):
    ping -c4 google.com

    Code (Text):
    ping -c4 github.com

    Code (Text):
    cat /etc/resolv.conf

    For posting code or output from commands to keep the formatting, you might want to use CODE tags for code How to use forum BBCODE code tags :)

    your local dns resolver file is missing any nameservers for DNS lookup! Who's your web host and what plan you using as that would be problematic for any kind of usage!

    The fact you managed to installed Centmin Mod means they did work before and had working /etc/resolv.conf. Maybe you accidentally removed them?

    If you did not accidentally remove them and you only just installed Centmin Mod with no personal data, then I would do fresh CentOS 7 install and check /etc/resolv.conf has nameservers defined first and redo a fresh Centmin Mod install and check if /etc/resolv.conf has nameservers defined after Centmin Mod install to compare before and after Centmin Mod install.

    If you have personal data already installed and don't want to redo CentOS7 + Centmin Mod fresh installs, you can edit /etc/resolv.conf and add your own DNS resolvers like using Google's 8.8.4.4 and 8.8.8.8

    in /etc/resolv.conf add
    Code (Text):
    options rotate
options timeout:1
nameserver 8.8.4.4
nameserver 8.8.8.8

    and re-run ping commands above to test to see if local DNS resolver now works
