New gTLDs Whois Server

[brian!]

in 7.2.3 for whois system we have to edit /resource/domain/dist.whois.json instead of whois file (like before)

right ?

no - that's the default file that will be updated when you run a WHMCS update, so never edit that file... create a new file in the same directory and call it whois.json and add your custom definitions in there.

 

https://docs.whmcs.com/WHOIS_Servers

so this should wor for me, which isnt:

 

[

{

"extensions": ".store,.store.com",

"uri": "socket://whois.nic.store",

"available": "DOMAIN NOT FOUND"

},

{

"extensions": ".xyz",

"uri": "socket://whois.nic.xyz",

"available": "DOMAIN NOT FOUND "

}

]

[brian!]

so this should work for me, which isnt:

store.com ????

as per the other two, they're working fine - so can only assume CentralNic are blocking your server IP for too many lookups.

[nimafire]

this happens to xyz and store

not club or other tlds

[brian!]

xyz and store are both CentralNIC TLDs - .club isn't.

 

to access the whois for both .xyz and .store, you need to obey CentralNIC's rules... so if you make too many lookups, your server IP will be blocked... if this is occurring, you'll need to contact CentralNIC support.

seems .beer stopped again after last update, can you confirm this still works please as readdedit and still no joy

 

{
       "extensions": ".beer",
       "uri": "socket://whois.nic.beer",
       "available": "This domain name has not been registered"
    },

 

Thanks in advance

Hi Lance,

it's still working from what I can see when testing locally (on both v7 and v5)...

if I search nic.beer, then that's correctly shown as taken...

perhaps try some other Minds & Machines TLDs and see if they're not working for you... if so, they might indicate M&M blocking the server IP.

Thanks for confirmation Brian.

Seems one of the updates has overwritten the json file...  and theres quite a few tlds missing again..  have added beer in again, will wait now to see if anymore flag up, we dont to a massive amount of the new tlds...

you aren't modifying the dist.whois.json file are you ? you should leave that alone, and create a whois.json file in the same folder and add your changes in there... that way, it shouldn't be affected by a WHMCS update.

I have been...   guess I best go from scratch then (insert random swear words).....  dont suppose you have a complete file do you Brian as you are always upto date on these tld updates

[nimafire]

Hello

its not working:

{
"extensions": ".io",
"uri": "socket://whois.nic.io",
"available": "Your domain is available!"
   },

I am quite new to WHMCS, I set it up a while ago with just few TLDs, I think there were about 12 or so, .com .net .org etc. About 2 weeks ago I had some time over the weekend and I thought, ok lets try sort it out and bring all those new TLDs into play.

"uri": "socket://whois.nic.io",
"available": "NOT FOUND"
   },

it is correct... though technically wouldn't work if this was the last entry in your v7 whois.json file (as you wouldn't need the end comma).

[nimafire]

this is my jason file content :

[
   {
"extensions": ".amsterdam",
"uri": "socket://whois.nic.amsterdam",
"available": "Domain Status: free"
   },
   {
"extensions": ".shop",
"uri": "socket://whois.nic.shop",
"available": "queried object does not exist"
   },
   {
"extensions": ".store",
"uri": "socket://whois.nic.store",
"available": "DOMAIN NOT FOUND"
   },
{
"extensions": ".io",
"uri": "socket://whois.nic.io",
"available": "NOT FOUND"
   },
   {
       "extensions": ".biz",
       "uri": "socket://whois.biz",
       "available": "No Data Found"
   },
]

I hope it's called whois.json - and not jason!

[
{
"extensions": ".amsterdam",
"uri": "socket://whois.nic.amsterdam",
"available": "Domain Status: free"
},
{
"extensions": ".shop",
"uri": "socket://whois.nic.shop",
"available": "queried object does not exist"
},
{
"extensions": ".store",
"uri": "socket://whois.nic.store",
"available": "DOMAIN NOT FOUND"
},
{
"extensions": ".io",
"uri": "socket://whois.nic.io",
"available": "NOT FOUND"
},
{
"extensions": ".biz",
"uri": "socket://whois.biz",
"available": "No Data Found"
}
]

that comma before the final closing square bracket invalidates the whole file and will make them all fail.

when editing this file, you always need to remember that the final block cannot have a comma at the end... perhaps if you need to edit it in the future, leave the .biz block as the end entry and add any additional entries before it - e.g after the comma of the .io block (and you can then safely include the closing comma of each new entry block).

i'm not quite sure what problem you're having - you'll need to explain further...
