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

    Code:

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

    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.

    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.

    Any clue of a way to run mydns so that it outputs all data and creates a log?

    I think there was something like gdb on FreeBSD for that but no clue.

    Yeah, what I did to start logging:

    Code:
    touch /var/log/mydns
nano /etc/mydns.conf

look for the ETC area, where it says log, change to this:
log = /var/log/mydns

/etc/init.d/mydns restart
    It appears to be logging now. One line written showing that it started. Hopefully, it will give some output as to the crashing.

    According to the link that I posted in, you can make logging more verbose by adding the -v option to the mydqns command. I guess you will have to add it somewhere in the start script.

    this way is pretty simple, too. and its an easy way to control where it logs. keeps it from mixing in with the flood of messages in my /var/log/messages as i mentioned in another post a few minutes ago.

    You misunderstood me. I'am not talking about the log facility, I'am talking about log verbosity! As you have not increased the log verbosity, the error might not get logged or you will not be able to see the cause of the error in the log.

    I did misunderstand, now -v is used. Damn this is nuts. It's flooding the logfile.

    Yes, thats verbose logging and if you want to find the reason for the segfaults on your system, this is the way to find it.

    If you think that it only happens when you insert or update dns records, then you should now create or update dns records to see if you can create a segfault.

    Yeah, no clue about that. ISPCONFIG is not being touched when it happens. Usually, it's at random hours of the day when I'm out on the down, meaning no-one is using SSH or ISPCONFIG.

    So, it would be related to general queries I think.

    Then the theory that you posted about the reasons for the segfaults can not be the case. If you are not logged into ispconfig, nothing gets changed or altered in the tables used by mydns. You should tell the guys in the mydns mailinglist that the segfaults happen when no data gets altered or added in the database.

    They want evidence... So this seems to be the only way to get something to show?

    You can try without verbosity first. But if it does not show enough info then, you might have to try again with verbose logging.
