Reconfigure services after 3.0.2.1 update?

[kamalito]

Hi
Is there a way to run again the 3.0.2.1 update to allow the script to reconfigure the services? I didn't specify "yes" when I've run the updater for the 3.0.2.1 version.
Regards

Yes, thats possible. You have to redo the update by following the manual update procedure as described here:

Hi Till
After that update, the server is unable to resolv external domain names like google.com etc.
_______________________
# nslookup www.google.com
;; Got recursion not available from 127.0.0.1, trying next server
;; Got recursion not available from 213.251.188.140, trying next server
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
or
# ping www.google.com
ping: unknown host www.google.com
_______________________
213.251.188.140 is the IP address of the second name server

1) Which dns server do you use?
2) Have you configured anything in the dns configureation manually, e.g. adding a external resolver program?
3) check that all external dns servers in /etc/resolv.conf are valid and reachable.

Since ISPConfig 3.0.1.6, I've modified /etc/mydns.conf like this :
log = LOG_DAEMON # Facility to use for program output (LOG_*/stdout/stderr)
pidfile = /var/run/mydns.pid # Path to PID file
timeout = 120 # Number of seconds after which queries time out
multicpu = 1 # Number of CPUs installed on your system
recursive = # Location of recursive resolver
allow-axfr = yes # Should AXFR be enabled?
allow-tcp = yes # Should TCP be enabled?
allow-update = yes # Should DNS UPDATE be enabled?
ignore-minimum = no # Ignore minimum TTL for zone?
soa-table = dns_soa # Name of table containing SOA records
rr-table = dns_rr # Name of table containing RR data
soa-where = server_id = 1 # Extra WHERE clause for SOA queries
rr-where = server_id = 1 # Extra WHERE clause for RR queries
use-soa-active = yes # To fix bug 295 where active or inactive status is ignored.
use-rr-active = yes# To fix bug 295 where active or inactive status is ignored.
notify-enabled = yes
notify-source = XX.XX.XX.XX (IP address of the server)
ixfr-enabled = yes
ixfr-gc-enabled = yes
debug-axfr = 5

Now, I've removed all the extra lines in bold and set allow-update to No.

The second DNS is having trouble. Our ISP suggest to use OpenDNS servers during the resolution of that issue.

Is it a good idea to add the openDNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf?

You need at least one working DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf. Which one does not matter much, use e.g. the opendns servers or the free dns servers from google.
