So, my server stops responding to hostnames. Finally looked in the log, here's a snippet. Any thoughts?

Code:

Try to update mydns to the latest version (mydns-ng 1.2.8.27)

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

crypted · #3 9th July 2010, 16:20

Yep, did that. Will see what happens. Might wanna get falko to update the package link in the perfect setup guides...

crypted · #4 17th July 2010, 05:22

MyDNS has segfaulted once again. What happens is NO DOMAIN will resolve, but the machine is accessible via IP. The Shared-IP page will load for those IPs as well.

I setup a cronjob that will restart via the init.d script every three hours because downtime can be over a day as I'm not always available to restart it myself.

I upgrade to the latest MyDNS as discussed above. Still not working out right.

How can I get MyDNS to create a logfile to help pinpoint the matter?

I did everything as instructed in the Perfect Setup guide for Debian Lenny.

Have you contacted the mydns developers in their mailinglist? They might be able to help you more in detail with this segfault.

crypted · #6 17th July 2010, 16:59

Will do. Just thought I'd turn to you guys as a first resource.

Apparently, the consensus so far is that there were problems when ISPCONFIG wrote the zonefiles to the database.

Till, i don't know the tables used for DNS and what not, what are they?

Also, is there any way to have them rewritten or to have the system check for consistency errors?

The table nemes names are the same then the protocol:

dns_*

Records in a database are always consistent, this is handled by mysql as every record is written at once into the databse with one sql insert or update statement. A application should never fail with a segfault. Maybe they should add code to handle database connection problems better.
