DirectSlave/GO 3 - public beta

Hello,

I'm trying to install DirectSlave on centos 7.
Everything is working i guess.
Except my *.db files look weird and not like they are on the server with directadmin.

This is how my *.db files right now, this can't be right?

I've 3 other domains setup and al look somewhat similar.

Does anybody have this same problem and how did they fix it?
There is also no error or what so ever.

That should be fine, don't worry ;) Bind automatically save slave files as raw binary format to improve performance. If you want to check the contents of the zone files, you can convert them to text format.

Code: 
named-compilezone -f raw -F text -o domain.ext.txt domain.ext domain.ext.db
-f = input format
-F = output format
-o = filename(output) zonename(domain) filename(input)

Hi,

Just tried your DA Multiserver emulator:) Checks went ok, zone records changes in directslave.inc, but no .db files are created. What might be the cause for this?
 
Well in case anybody's interested, there must be "allow-transfer", "also-notify" in DA servers named.conf and "allow-transfer", "allow-notify" in DS named.conf with DS and DA IP's accordingly. It was mentioned in DS thread earlier. Extensive README to DS would be very good thing, actually I could prepare one:)

To start DS automatically after reboot in CENTOS 7, you can create file "etc/systemd/system/directslave.service" with the following contents:

[Unit]
Description=DirectSlave
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/local/directslave/bin/directslave --run
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

That's what works for me, I am sure it can be done another way.

Change named_workdir (in directslave.conf) to: /var/cache/bind
Restart directslave (and bind9)

See file: /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.named
Code: 
  # /etc/bind should be read-only for bind
  # /var/lib/bind is for dynamically updated zone (and journal) files.
  # /var/cache/bind is for slave/stub data, since we're not the origin of it.
  # See /usr/share/doc/bind9/README.Debian.gz
  /etc/bind/* r,
  /var/lib/bind/** rw,
  /var/lib/bind/ rw,
  /var/cache/bind/** lrw,
  /var/cache/bind/ rw,

Hello all,

Got the same error, so directadmin.inc is filled with the domain but no DB creation.
Tried above solution but didn;t work, different is also im using Centos7 and above is Ubuntu.

Did not see or find any error logging, maybe someone got an solution?

uid=25(named) gid=25(named) groups=25(named)




check:
/usr/local/directslave/bin/directslave --check

Have you added allow-transfer / allow-notify in the bind config on the DirectAdmin server?
And are you able to connect to Directslave from DirectAdmin?

Hello,

Yes, the allow-transfer and notify are in the named.conf

test:

Tests OK

If the list of domains is created but not the DB files is not up to DirectSlave but to named, for some reason the zones are not getting transfered.

Have you restaqrted bind/named on the DirectAdmin server once you have added the allow-transfer and also-notify?

Checking the logging I found:
$domain not authoritative

When i add the directslave.inc to the end of named.conf i got the records.
include "/var/named/directslave.inc";

But then i could not query the named service external so also disabled in named.conf
allow-query { localhost; };

Looks like it's working now.

But when looking at:
https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=97
I was saying that everything is done trough API.
 
New version is HERE!

DirectSlave GO/3.2 Advanced released!

Now we have nice & smooth web-interface to control over our secondary zones (add, remove & change master IP)
Ability to manage users through web
Viewing DirectSlave log files
Master-file format setting (requested by SeLLeRoNe :: http://forum.directadmin.com/showthread.php?t=54992&page=2&p=287125#post287125)

To upgrade, please add folloving lines to your directslave.conf

Code: 
cookie_sess_id  DS_SESSID
cookie_auth_key Change_this_line_to_something_long_&_secure
named_format    text

named_format can be text or binary, see http://geekdom.wesmo.com/2014/06/05/bind9-dns-slave-file-format/

To use web interface, copy all of contents of www folder from archive to /usr/local/directslave/www

then restart directslave and point your browser to your directslave host:port (usually 2222 for plain http or 2224 for https)

Enjoy!

Hi Roman, Thanks!!

I am gonna test it right now, first thing I have noticed is that the file is .tar.gz but it is not a gzip file, so please or rename it to just .tar or make it a projer gzip one or people will be very confused because the decompression will fail ;)

Cheers!
 
Im' shure it's gzipped :)

[m@regme]~/download$ gunzip directslave-3.2-advanced-all.tar.gz

Okay, for it started, I don't get what path should I access for the web interface (and if is possible to redirect automatically HTTP to HTTPS when HTTPS is enabled).

When I try to reach the server (both HTTP and HTTPS) I've got this message: What-page-do-you-want?


Any hint?

Thanks :)
 
Also, have you copied a new binary (directslave-linux-amd64) to /usr/local/directslave/bin and renamed it to directslave?
 
Oh I didn't update the binary file :D

For the gzip:

>tar zxfv directslave-3.2-advanced-all.tar.gz

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

gzip -d directslave-3.2-advanced-all.tar.gz

gzip: directslave-3.2-advanced-all.tar.gz: not in gzip format

gunzip directslave-3.2-advanced-all.tar.gz

gunzip: directslave-3.2-advanced-all.tar.gz: not in gzip format
