othellotech Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Anyone got the whmcs domain checker working correctly for lookups on .tv domain extension (which uses a http / web-based lookup not a standard whois) Similarly for .fm ? I've added most of the extensions that are missingfrom the sample/setup files, just having problems with those two ... TIA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan123 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hi, Yes, I have .tv working fine. Can't remember how exactly I know something was not right in whoisservers.php. Nathan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
othellotech Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 any chance of seeing your whoisservers.php line for .tv's please 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan123 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hi, .tv wasn't working for me at first so I looked in whoisservers.php and there's two lines for .tv I think the whois server was slightly wrong on one. Here both lines are: .tv|whois.nic.tv|No match for .tv|whois.nic.tv|No match I'm not sure if that's the problem you have but it was the problem I had.

othellotech Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 Perfect ! For anyone else having similar problems with .tv - remove the line for whois.tv as it conflict with the whois.nic.tv check Now ... anyone got .fm working , mine always timesout 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trine Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 othellotech, about 1 year ago, BRS Media became the official registrar for Federation of Micronesia (.fm) domains. Since, the .fm whois.dot.fm server does not respond. you can parse the web with the following instead: http://www.dot.fm/query_whois.cfm?domain=domainname&tld=fm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
othellotech Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 trine - thanks this is what I have in my whoisservers.php .fm|http://www.dot.fm/query_whois.cfm?tld=fm&domain=|HTTPREQUEST-is available doing it in a browser works, and redirects to https://www.dot.fm/order0.cfm?domain=domainname.fm&tld=fm&CFID=32648865&CFTOKEN=15031069 with the text: Congratulations DOMAINNAME.FM is available... I'm just struggling with how to get WHMCS to pickup the answer from the http server 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trine Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Rob, the key thing here is "Congratulations DOMAINNAME.FM is available..." So try HTTPREQUEST-Congratulations That seems to work for me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trine Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Oh... and another thing, .AM domains will be the same exact setting, if you sell them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
othellotech Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 Rob, the key thing here is "Congratulations DOMAINNAME.FM is available..."So try HTTPREQUEST-Congratulations That seems to work for me works in a browser, doesnt work form with WHMCS domainchecker ... .fm|http://www.dot.fm/query_whois.cfm?tld=fm&domain=|HTTPREQUEST-Congratulations Sorry! othello.fm is already taken! WHOIS Output (snip junk response from http://www.dot.fm) it doesnt appear to actually be doing the right URL call When using an alternative whois/domain package it works fine ... .am didnt work either - although there are working whois servers .am|whois.nic.am|No match when testing: Sorry! othello.am is already taken! WHOIS Output No match oddly change .am to use whois.amnic.net it works fine ... working whoisservers.php for am is: .am|whois.amnic.net|No match anyone able to show a working .fm line ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trine Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Thanks for the update on AM. That works well. You're right, it's actually not working anymore. Here is what is returned in the body: Error: ------ The only characters allowed are letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and a dash (-). A domain name cannot begin or end with a dash. Spaces and any other characters in a name are not accepted.The only characters allowed are letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and a dash (-). A domain name cannot begin or end with a dash. Spaces and any other characters in a name are not accepted. .fm.fm is not a valid .FM domain. Note the .fm.fm I think this is because WHMCS is appending the full domain+TLD to the end of the URL, whilst it should only be the domain. Are there any variables to add in the whoisserver file to only have it send the domain? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trine Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I have opened a support request to resolve this issue. see: http://www.whmcs.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4108 Right now the only thing able to resolve this is our own whois script. If you need a copy, I'll make some mods and send it to you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
