Can't change DNS options: "Your changes cannot be saved...item updated" For a day

Hi All,

I'm trying setup my own nameservers.

So far I've added all the domains and IPs to the ISPconfig control panel.

Now, I'm trying to edit the nameserver section under the DNS manager.

When I try to change a nameserver, however, I get this error:

"Your changes cannot be saved because this item is currently being updated"


I saw this error elsewhere on the board, and it was suggested that I wait a few minutes.

So I did........but now 1.5 days later, I still get this message! What's going on???

Thanks for your help........

 

Which distribution do you use? What's the output of

Code:

ls -la /root/ispconfig

?

 

Thanks for your reply Falko, here is the output

Hi Falko,

Thanks so much for your reply , Here is the output:

Note, I also signed up for the paid installation, so there might be some company records of this. I believe my OS is Fedora Core 4....

 

No luck, I still get the same error message

Hi Till,

Thanks for your reply...

I ran the commands you suggested, and also double checked by logging into my server with an SSH FTP connection, and the .ispconfig_lock file was gone...

But, when I returned to the DNS manager and tried to update the nameservers, the same error "the item is updating please try again later" appeared!

Code:

[root@xxxxxxxx ~]# rm -f /root/ispconf/.ispconfig_lock
[root@xxxxxxxx ~]# /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server restart
Shutting down ISPConfig system...
/root/ispconfig/httpd/bin/apachectl stop: httpd stopped
ISPConfig system stopped!
Starting ISPConfig system...
/root/ispconfig/httpd/bin/apachectl startssl: httpd started
ISPConfig system is now up and running!

Any other thoughts? Thanks!

 

Yes, I get a segmentation fault

Hi Till,

Thanks for your reply - Yes, I get a segmentation fault - Not sure what to do with this......

Code:

[root@xxxxx ~]# rm -f /root/ispconf/.ispconfig_lock
[root@xxxxx ~]# /root/ispconfig/php/php -q /root/ispconfig/scripts/writeconf.php
start
Segmentation fault
[root@xxxxx ~]#

 

If you use Fedora, have a look here:

Still Not Working!



Hi Till, Falko,

Thanks for your tips, but it is not working!

First, I ran the hotfix and downgraded to PHP 5_0_4 :
From: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3695

Then, I ran the command above again, to double check that the Segmentation Fault was fixed:

Code:

/root/ispconfig/php/php -q /root/ispconfig/scripts/writeconf.php

... and I received the following error:

Code:

[root@XXXXXX /]# /root/ispconfig/php/php -q /root/ispconfig/scripts/writeconf.php
start
Segmentation fault

...The Segmentation Fault is not fixed!

I wasn't sure if this would affect my original problem of changing DNS settings, so I went to this thread and followed the instructions:

http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5397&highlight=server_bind_zonefile_dir

And I attempted to change the settings in the DNS manager, but the new path would not save! I tried deleting the path /etc/bind and pasting the above path in its place, but ISPconfig would not save the new setting!

What's going on???? I really need to get my server up and running!!!

 

Please run these commands from the Fedora tutorial again:

Code:

chmod 755 /var/named/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/named/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/run/
chmod 777 /var/named/chroot/var/run/named/
cd /var/named/chroot/var/named/
ln -s ../../ chroot

Then try to change the Bind path again.

 

Success ! It worked ! Thanks!



Thanks Falko, Till - It worked!

For anyone else with a similar problem, here is the syntax that was used to fix the update problem on my server:

Code:

[root@xxxxxxxxx ~]# chmod 755 /var/named/
[root@xxxxxxxxx ~]# chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/
[root@xxxxxxxxx ~]# chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/
[root@xxxxxxxxx ~]# chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/named/
[root@xxxxxxxxx ~]# chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/run/
[root@xxxxxxxxx ~]# chmod 777 /var/named/chroot/var/run/named/
[root@xxxxxxxxx ~]# cd /var/named/chroot/var/named/
[root@xxxxxxxxx named]# ln -s ../../ chroot
ln: creating symbolic link `chroot/..' to `../../': File exists
[root@xxxxxxxxx named]# /root/ispconfig/php/php -q /root/ispconfig/scripts/writeconf.php
start
ende
[root@xxxxxxxxx named]# rm -f /root/ispconfig/.ispconfig_lock
