Hi,

Issue with Directadmin with Debian 7 fresh install Everything is fine for me with Centos 6.6


After changing records in any Dns zone files in Directadmin panel.
Let's imagine i add a TXT record to mydomain.com then i type...

dig mydomain.com TXT @127.0.0.1 +norecurse from ssh terminal

i see no changes

i have to do a

service named restart or
service named reload or
rndc reload

to have the visible update with dig

I wonder whether there is no job that is broken to do a "rndc reload" after any changes to DNS zones in Directadmin panel.

in order to replicate the error:

1. Go to DNS management at user level for one domain
2. Add a TXT record
3. connect to Ssh
4. install dig if it is not yet installed by doing apt-get install dnsutils
5. dig yourdomain.com TXT @127.0.0.1 to see if the change is available


Workaround:
Creation of a cron job to reload the DNS zone files every 10 minutes:

*/10 * * * * /usr/sbin/rndc reload

UPDATE:
This server ran on Debian 8 & the directadmin license was for Debian 7. Consequently, Directadmin installed the Debian 7 version on Debian 8. It was the reason why it was doing it. Fix: fast migration to a Debian 7 VM.
