.com.au not available

[DISKMANJAMES]

Hi all

We have set up using TPP Wholesale for our domain registrations/management.

While '.com' domain names are searchable to register, any '.com.au' domain we search for comes back with 'domain name not available'.  Even though when we do a search/whois on that domain it is available via our actual TPP Wholesale console.

Any ideas how/why this is happening and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance
James

Hey @DISKMANJAMES

Yep, the WHOIS server for .com.au has changed again  adding the following to /resources/domains/whois.json  will solve the issue.

[
     {
        "extensions": ".asn.au, .com.au, .edu.au, .org.au, .net.au, .id.au",
        "uri": "socket: //whois-check.ausregistry.net.au",
        "available": "--- Available"
    }
]

just to correct the entry given by @WHMCS ChrisD, it should really be (the additional spaces included above would make it fail)...

    {
        "extensions": ".asn.au,.com.au,.edu.au,.org.au,.net.au,.id.au",
        "uri": "socket://whois-check.ausregistry.net.au",
        "available": "---Available"
    },

if it's the only entry in your whois.json file, then add opening and closing [ and ] like Chris has done above and remove the end comma (remove it too if it's the final entry)... if you have existing other entries in the file, then just copy & paste.
