    Code:
    03.08.2007 - 13:08:43 => WARN - /root/ispconfig/scripts/lib/config.lib.php, Line 1927: WARNING: could not groupadd -g 12001 web1_anonftp &> /dev/null

    Other than that, no other errors besides it failing to restart postfix a couple of times. It had no problem adding other users apparently, only adding the anonymous ftp users.

    ps aux | grep wconf
    ?

    Yes, that's how it's supposed to be.
    Do you get any error messages when you run
    Code:
    /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/writeconf.php
    on the shell?

    Isnt there any reason why ISPconfig wouldnt write dns config and ftp config?

    The result in #47 means that the config has already been written or in other words, that there are no chnages pending to be written to the config files.

    Maybe the config has been written but to wrong locations. Which bind config directory is set in ispconfig under management > server > settings ?

    Ok, after looking at this in more detail,

    ISPConfig IS writing new dns entries to /etc/named.conf, but for some reason bind isnt reading named.conf, its reading /var/named/chroot/etc/named.caching-nameserver.conf for config and named.rfc1912.zones in the same directory for dns entries.

    Setting ISPConfig to use named.rfc1912.zones as the named.conf file doesnt work, because it overwrites the top of the file with configuration data that causes named to crash.

    How do I change it so that its using /etc/named.conf like it should be for dns entries?

    Also, ISPConfig still isnt writing in new FTP users or email accounts.

    Please reconfigure your nameserver as described in the perfect setup guide for your linux distribution.

    Thats the problem, I followed the guide and its configured wrong. The guide just says to yum bind-chroot which I did and to chmod the directories for it to the right levels.

    The guide does not mention named.conf or any other config files, it says "ISPConfig will configure bind"

    You posted above that your nameserver uses the file /var/named/chroot/etc/named.caching-nameserver.conf and thats definately not the file that is used when the named server is installed as described in the howto.

    Please run:

    yum install bind-chroot

    and post the output.
