Bind/DNS record write problem

Hello all,

When I was edit or add new record to DNS(Bind) I got this error;

Error Writing Records
Details: Unable to save dns zone: named-zonecheck returned:

Where is the problem ? I try this but not fixed.
/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/set_permissions.sh all

Thanks.

Hello,

That means that named-checkzone returned a non-zero value.

There are a few ways to debug it, but since the output is blank, we'll want to see what the issue is with the zone itself and run the named-checkzone manually.

1) Shut off the named-checkzone in the directadmin.conf. Add: and restart DA. This will bypass the check so the zone can be written. Note that it will be written in a manner that the check doesn't like, so there may be an issue with it... keep your eye on /var/log/messages for clues with named.

2) Once you re-save your zone (whatever you did to generate that error), bypassing the check, we'll then check the zone by hand: and see what the gives us.

One possibility is if the named-checkzone binary is totally empty, that would explain the zero-result output, and non-zero exit status.

Note that it's not a permission issue, but an issue with the named-checkzone returning an error with the saved zone file (something in the zone is likely bad)

Thank you John.

I can't try it yet because of a lot of other problems too with my DirectAdmin system.for example now DA,Exim not running and crond service stoped working...

Best Regards,

Send us an email if you'd like help with those items as well.

Hello John,

I was submit help request from https://www.directadmin.com/clients/safesubmit.php .

I have a big problems with Apache and DNS Administration. All of my zone files in /var/named directory but I don't see in DirectAdmin->DNS Administration page.

Other problem is Apache not started , Always I got path errors.for example;

Warning: DocumentRoot [/domains/BBBBBB.com/public_html] does not exist
Warning: DocumentRoot [/domains/AAAAA.com/public_html] does not exist
Warning: DocumentRoot [/domains/YYYYY.com/public_html] does not exist
Warning: DocumentRoot [/domains/XXXXX.com/public_html] does not exist

The users already on server but I think httpd service not perceive directory paths...

Thank you for your help...

Hello,

1) Named:

The list is taken from the /etc/named.conf (path varies depending on OS).
Make sure the domains/zones are listed in the named.conf.
Also, the format of the line should look like this: where the "file" path must start with a slash / else, DA will ignore that line and it won't show up in the DNS Admin.

2) Apache:

If apache isn't running at all, run the the following from ssh as root: We're looking for errors. The mentioned output about missing DocumentRoot values are just "warnings" (not "errors") and will not affect apcahe running.

Check /var/log/httpd/error_log for further clues/errors.
I'll watch for any safesubmit requests if you send one.

Hello John,

Apache still running, But not resolve my web sites.I got path error for all users when I was try to restart.for example

Warning: DocumentRoot [/domains/BBBBBB.com/public_html] does not exist
Warning: DocumentRoot [/domains/AAAAA.com/public_html] does not exist
Warning: DocumentRoot [/domains/YYYYY.com/public_html] does not exist
Warning: DocumentRoot [/domains/XXXXX.com/public_html] does not exist

I checked httpd.conf and I see this;

It is:
DocumentRoot / domains / domain.com / public_html
ScriptAlias ​​/ cgi-bin / domains / domain.com / public_html / cgi-bin /

As it should be:
DocumentRoot / home / user / domains / domain.com / public_html
ScriptAlias ​​/ cgi-bin / domains / domain / public_html / cgi-bin /

Thank you.

Regards,

I got your email and have sent you a reply.
As a followup, there Users are all missing from the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files, so need to be re-added, eg: where the uid/gid numbers (eg: 123/456) can be found by doing the command for each User: If you need an example on how to create a crypt, see this related guide:
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=288

Once all accounts are created, re-write the httpd.conf files, eg: John
