SDNP 2nd .MW Registrars Training Workshop on 24 April 2018 at the Raylls Protea Hotel, Blantyre, Malawi

by Dr P Nyirenda

As you can see here below, in a few weeks we will be running our 2nd workshop for registrars and I am looking for ideas on how to grow our community of registrars. The few registrars that we have so far are having a tough time developing a registrar platform for EPP connections to FRED registry. So, I would like to learn from you on how you have grown your registrars, especially on assisting them technically to do EPP connections. Do you have any comments on our workshop agenda? Do you have a portal for registrars? Do you give them fred-client? Is there a registrar that has developed their own EPP client to connect to FRED and who is willing to share development or source for such a client? Please educate me ! We would be delighted if you could come to Malawi for the one day workshop? Regards, Paulos 2nd WORKSHOP ON .MW DOMAIN REGISTRARS SDNP, the .mw domains registry operator, will run the 2nd .MW Registrars Training Workshop on 24 April 2018 at the Raylls Protea Hotel, Blantyre, Malawi. More details on the workshop are available at SDNP registrar website at http://www.registrar.mw/registrars.php The aim of the workshop is to assist to develop, train and support a sustainable crop of Internet domain registrars in Malawi that do sustainable business on the viable Malawi .mw Country Code Top Level Domain, the .mw ccTLD, using a top of the range domain EPP registry platform. A detailed agenda has been developed for the workshop and a brief version is shown here below with more details available on the above website. Please do let us know if there is any particular topic that you would like to be covered or emphasized. The workshop is open to anyone interested but is particularly targeting registrars and potential registrars. Those interested should register by 19 April 2018. Registration form is available on the above website. There is limited space for 25 participants. We, therefore, cordially invite you to the workshop to learn, share knowledge and network with registrars in Malawi. As in the first workshop we have interest from registrars from abroad who also want to learn and to assist to share expertise and experience on how to develop and sustain a profitable registrar operation and industry in a place like Malawi. The workshop fee to assist to cover the venue is MK25,000 for accredited registrars and MK45,000 for those not yet accredited. Please pay in advance when you register to Malawi SDNP bank account number 674257 National Bank of Malawi, Chichiri Branch. Please bring a laptop for the hands-on exercises.

gTLD list to be inserted into FRED registry - .ruhr

by Dr P Nyirenda

. Is there a recommended new gTLD list recommended to be inserted into the FRED registry TLD database table? We at the .mw registry are now receiving regular requests for new gTLDs to be included into the FRED registry especially for DNS servers for nssets. The latest of these is .ruhr. We would hence like to find out if there is a list of new gTLDs that we can insert in the FRED registry data base to take care of these requests instead of having to do this on request when a registrar fails to include a DNS server into an nsset. How are the other FRED registry platform users handling this ?

Re: fred-users Digest, Vol 83, Issue 1

by Simon M. Balthazar

Hi Doc, We usually pull a latest list of TLD from IANA http://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt You can write a script to compare what you have in registry with the list above. Take the new ones and insert them in enum_tlds ./simon On 3/12/18 2:00 PM, fred-users-request(a)lists.nic.cz wrote: > Send fred-users mailing list submissions to > fred-users(a)lists.nic.cz > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.nic.cz/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fred-users > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > fred-users-request(a)lists.nic.cz > > You can reach the person managing the list at > fred-users-owner(a)lists.nic.cz > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of fred-users digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1. gTLD list to be inserted into FRED registry - .ruhr > (Dr P Nyirenda) > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Message: 1 > Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2018 09:33:56 +0200 > From: "Dr P Nyirenda" <paulos(a)sdnp.org.mw> > To: fred-users(a)lists.nic.cz > Subject: gTLD list to be inserted into FRED registry - .ruhr > Message-ID: <5AA62D64.14050.26A3C073(a)paulos.sdnp.org.mw> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII > > . > > Is there a recommended new gTLD list recommended to be inserted into the FRED registry > TLD database table? > > We at the .mw registry are now receiving regular requests for new gTLDs to be included into > the FRED registry especially for DNS servers for nssets.

by Moeketsi Maphoi

Hello! I'm experiencing some difficulties with my Daphne web application on my new FRED server. All the Fred-* services are running including Fred-webadmin, fred-client also works well I can create objects. But after logging into Daphne I encounter the following error: Error: CORBA object could not be found!

Any ideas on a workaround on this? Thank you. Regards, Moeketsi Maphoi

FRED-Whois - Contact cause Internal Error

by Moeketsi Maphoi

Hello! I am having problems with my newly installed fred-whois server on Ubunu Server 16.04. What is happening is that the whois webpage can display all attributes as needed (after searching for a domain), when I click on attribute links like registrar ID they appear fine. The problem comes when I want to view or click on the contact attribute, it gives out the error code 500 Internal Server Error. This error only occurs when I want to view details about the contact attached to the domain, either be an administrative contact or technical contact. Apache error log show the following (searched for domain.domain, then click on the administrative contact): .mod_wsgi (pid=27416): Exception occurred processing WSGI script '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/fred_whois/whois_wsgi.py'., referer: http:// localhost /whois/?d=domain.domain .Traceback (most recent call last):, referer: http://localhost/whois/?d=domain.domain .File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/beaker/middleware.py", line 155, in __call__, referer: http:// localhost /whois/?d=domain.domain .return self.wrap_app(environ, session_start_response), referer: http:// localhost /whois/?d=domain.domain .File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/fred_whois/whois_wsgi.py", line 145, in application, referer: http:// localhost /whois/?d=domain.domain .links={'registrars_list': '/whois/registrars'}, referer: http:// localhost /whois/?d= domain.domain .File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/fred_whois/whois.py", line 1199, in render, referer: http:// localhost /whois/?d= domain.domain .answer['is_site_nic'] = settings.SITE_DIR_NAME == "nic", referer: http:// localhost /whois/?d= domain.domain .File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 54, in __getattr__, referer: http:// localhost /whois/?d= domain.domain .self._setup(name), referer: http:// localhost /whois/?d= domain.domain .File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 47, in _setup, referer: http:// localhost /whois/?d= domain.domain .% (desc, ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE)), referer: http:// localhost /whois/?d= domain.domain .ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting SITE_DIR_NAME, but settings are not configured.

FRED client GUI

by Ludovic DURIEUX - SafeBrands

Dear All, I'm new to this list. Looking at page 18 of this doc (dated 2007!): http://www.aftld.org/bk/cairo2007/docs/FRED-20070529-PT-AfTLD.pdf I can see a preview of a GUI for FRED client. Is it something that is actually available nowadays ? Thanks and sorry if it's something I could have seen into the README file which I'm currently reading. -- Ludovic DURIEUX Director • Head of Domain Name Operations Phone: +33.488662243 Fax: +33.488662256 SafeBrands S.A.S.

Invoice prefixes for the new year - 2018

by Dr P Nyirenda

I am finding in FRED that I have to issue new invoice prefixes now that the year has changed from 2017 to 2018. If I do not do this then I get an error : "Missing invoice prefix" when I try to add credit to a registrar account using the #fred-admin --invoice_credit command I am having to do this for each zone which is painful because I have 10+ zones. Is there a way to update this automatically when the year changes ? Additionally, is there a way that I can run the #fred-admin --invoice_credit command for a zone and land on the correct prefix every time ? In many cases when I run the command #fred-admin --invoice_credit I get the error DEATAIL: Key (prefix)=(interger) already exits and I have to run the command a few more times before I land on an interger that the command accepts. How can I get around this and land on the correct interger for the command without having to repeat it?
