DNS zones not transfered to slave server anymore

[grungy]

What about http://sourceforge.net/projects/mydns-ng

Did anyone try this out?

p.s. mydns-ng development is really active - svn log -v https://mydns-ng.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mydns-ng > changelog

duh, let's try to narrow this down:

in Ispconfig, test mydns actually works:

dig @localhost domain.in.isconfig.tld

you should get "status: NOERROR" in header.

in slave:

dig @isconfig.master.tld domain.in.isconfig.tld

you now propably see "status: REFUSED"

check also ispconfig-mydns-database, dns_soa/xfer should include slave-IP, and dns_soa/active = Y.

i am running mydns-ng, and if you are not, i suggest you to switch to it. it works all ok with Ispconfig, no modifications needed.

First of all I will build a mydns-ng .deb package for Debian etch, install it, and see if that will fix the problem.

Antennipasi tnx for your help.

I fixed this problem by installing mydns-ng and I wrote a short tutorial on how to build the mydns-ng package for Debian etch:

I had this same problem and figured it out with switching to mydns-ng. I had considered switching to mydns-ng until I found out that it's still in development and there has yet to be a "stable" release. In it's current state, mydns-ng is not suitable for use on our production servers.

In post #8, you posted the check_xfer function from axfr.c. That function contains the following query:

	querylen = snprintf(query, sizeof(query), "SELECT xfer FROM %s WHERE id=%u%s",
		mydns_soa_table_name, soa->id, mydns_rr_use_active ? " AND active=1" : "");

The problem is that the query is looking for "active=1" in the dns_soa table. However, in ISPConfig 3.0.1.1 (and probably the SVN, as well), the "active" field in the dns_soa table is type "enum('N', 'Y')", so that query will always fail.

If you wish to keep mydns, there are two solutions. Either:

1) Change that query in axfr.c to check for "active='Y'" instead of "active=1" and recompile mydns.

2) Alter the "active" field in the dns_soa table to type "int" or "tinyint" and change lines 178-179 of "/usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web/dns/form/dns_soa.tform.php" to the following:

                        'default'       => '1',
                        'value'         => array(0, 1)

and change lines 92-94 of "/usr/local/ispconfig/interface/lib/classes/listform_actions.inc.php" to the following:

                                if(strtolower($rec[$key]) == '1' or strtolower($rec[$key]) == '0') {
                                        // Set a additional image variable for boolean fields
                                        $rec['_'.$key.'_'] = (strtolower($rec[$key]) == '1')?'x16/tick_circle.png':'x16/cross_circle.png';

Hi,

this looks like a bug in mydns and not ispconfig. You can verify this with the command:

mydns --create-tables

then it outputs you the database tables that mydns expects and the column definition for active is:

active ENUM('Y', 'N') NOT NULL DEFAULT 'Y',

So the value can either be Y or N but not 1 or 0.

Good call. I didn't notice that. So I guess fixing mydns and recompiling or switching to mydns-ng are the two best options.

thanks for the info on this mydns bug guys!

And thank you for the fix falcontx! It worked like a charm!

I did all of the above, but my secondary is still being refused by MyDNS.

Not sure where to start to figure this one out. Any assistance would be greatly welcome!

@sonicscott: Which mydns version do you have installed?
