changing "Zonefiles Dir" path in ISPconfig settings

Hello All
I created a symbolic link for my named dire as shown in below:
/var/named -> /repdata/var/named
When I put "/var/named/chroot/var/named" as a "Zonefiles Dir" in settings it changed to "/repdata/var/named/chroot/var/named" after saving in ISPConfig.
In this case named can not run and I got the following error:
-----------
/etc/named.conf:3: change directory to '/repdata/var/named/chroot/var/named' failed: file not found
/etc/named.conf:3: parsing failed
-----------
Does anybody have any idea that why ISPConfig chang my ZoneFiles Path?!!!

TNX

 

What's the output of

Code:

ls -la /repdata/var/named

?

 

[root@server~]# ls -la /repdata/var/named
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 5 root named 4096 Feb 9 15:35 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Feb 24 21:19 ..
drwxrwxr-x 6 root named 4096 Feb 9 15:35 chroot
drwxrwx--- 2 root named 4096 Nov 10 15:22 data
drwxrwx--- 2 root named 4096 Nov 10 15:22 slaves

I also have pid file in this path:
pid-file "/var/run/named/named.pid";

 

What are the outputs of

Code:

ls -la /repdata/var/named/chroot

and

Code:

ls -la /repdata/var/named/chroot/var

?

Please do this:

Code:

cd /repdata/var/named/chroot/var/named/
ln -s ../../ chroot

 

Hi,
sorry for my long delay ...
I have the same link before ...

[root@server ~]# cd /repdata/var/named/chroot/var/named/
[root@server named]# ll
total 76
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root named 6 Feb 24 14:54 chroot -> ../../

-rw-r--r-- 1 root named 2518 Jan 21 19:49 named.root
...

 

Do you get the same error messages as before?

 

before moving my /var/named to /repdata/var I don't have any problem .... but after moving to repdata dir and "updating " to real path it did not work ...
I don't know why ispcongfig can no set "Zonefiles Dir" path when it use symbolic link !!!
BTW, I undo my changes and set "zonefiles Dir" to old path ... and then I recreate sym link and move my named to /repdata ... now it works ...

 

Because ISPConfig tries to "read" the real path with PHP's realpath() function: http://de3.php.net/manual/en/function.realpath.php
