Hi,

I'm running two ISPConfig systems both are on 2.2.14.

On server 1 everything seems fine. The zone files are in /var/named/chroot/var/named
On server 2 there are zone files in /var/named/chroot/var/named but if I add a new host the zone files don't change. If I add a new domain the zone files don't get created.

I'm sure server 2 used to work but I recently updated from 2.2.6 or may be 2.2.9.

I don't see any errors in the /var/log/messages nor do I see any errors /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/ispconfig.log

Does anyone have suggestion of were to look for the cause of the problem?

Regards,
Tom.

Please have a look at the ispconfig.log logfile if you see any errors. Also make sure that /var/named/chroot/var/named is world readable.

As I siad in my post I don't see any errors in ispconfig.log

# pwd
/var/named/chroot/var
# ls -l
total 24
drwxrwxr-x 4 root named 4096 Jul 6 08:58 named
drwxrwxr-x 4 root named 4096 Mar 13 2003 run
drwxrwx--- 2 named named 4096 Mar 13 2003 tmp

and the zone files in /var/named/chroot/var/named are owned by named group named.

Regards,
Tom.

I'm gonna guess that the .ispcong_lock is the problem.

I removed it and bingo several of the zone files updated.

it's still not right as the lock reappears though.

The lockfile must appear while the script is running. If it does not get removed after the end of the script run, then something caused the script to die, maybe a segfault.

So I need to fix something then.

It's kind of sorted itself out now. If I use DNS manager to alter a zone file then the only thing that happens is named.conf gets screwed up.
But the lock file is lot left. Ir is removed.

Line 3 is changed to
directory "/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/multidoc/edit";
When it should read
directory "/var/named/chroot/var/named";

So named fails to start. I correct the file and the named starts but my zone file is still not updated.

Where do I look to work out why the named.conf is getting the wrong directory?

Tom.

Which linux distribution do you use?

Please redo the steps for the bind configuration from the perfect setup for your linux distribution to fix the permission problem. If the problem is fixed, ISPConfig will use the correct directory for your bind files when you set it under management > server > settings in ISPConfig.
