    Hello everyone,

    I have a multi-server setup with two DNS servers without DNSSEC. Server 2 is a mirror of Server 1. This setup has been running for several years.
    My provider terminated my VPS for Server 2 because it's too old. :(

    I've now set up Server 3 and configured it as a mirror of Server 1.
    I copied all the files from /etc/bind/ from Server 1 to Server 3. Copied to PC and then to the new server all with WinSCP.
    Server 3 is responding correctly.

    When I make a change to the DNS settings in ISPConfig, I get an error on Server 3: /etc/bind/pri.<domainame>.err.
    This file only contains the changes. The file /etc/bind/pri.<domainame> itself remains unchanged.

    How can I configure Server 3 to correctly apply the changes? Do I need to synchronize anything else?

    Thanks for your help.

    You must use Tools > resync. Copying bind files was not necessary and won't help, as the data must exist in the ISPConfig database on that server.

    Thanks for your reply.
    What exactly do I need to adjust?
    Are the settings shown in the screenshot correct? ns01 is the Server 1, Server 2 and Server 3 are not listed in the pull-down.
