Hi there I followed the debian 6 howto to setup ISPConfig. From the interface side it all seems to run well. The problem however is, when I add a DNS zone through the wizzard, nothing happens on the file level system. I created one website, added a DNS zone for it and /etc/bind still outputs: Code: /etc/bind # ls -al total 64K drwxr-sr-x 3 root bind 4.0K Mar 12 13:58 . drwxr-xr-x 105 root root 4.0K Mar 13 11:07 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.5K Nov 16 20:19 bind.keys -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 237 Nov 16 20:19 db.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 271 Nov 16 20:19 db.127 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 237 Nov 16 20:19 db.255 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 353 Nov 16 20:19 db.empty -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 270 Nov 16 20:19 db.local -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.0K Nov 16 20:19 db.root -rw-r--r-- 1 root bind 463 Nov 16 20:19 named.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root bind 490 Nov 16 20:19 named.conf.default-zones -rw-r--r-- 1 root bind 1 Mar 12 13:58 named.conf.local -rw-r--r-- 1 root bind 572 Nov 16 20:19 named.conf.options -rw-r----- 1 bind bind 77 Mar 12 11:36 rndc.key drwxr-s--- 2 root bind 4.0K Mar 12 11:47 slave -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.3K Nov 16 20:19 zones.rfc1918 So, are the zones stored somewhere else? To my understanding they should be in named.conf with ISPConfig.
The zones get added in named.conf.local which is included in named.conf. If no dns zones get created in that file, then check that the jobqueue in the monitor is empty, If thats the case, then post the output of: ls -la /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-enabled ls -la /usr/local/ispconfig/server/mods-enabled
named.conf.local is empty jobqueue is also empty Code: ls -la /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-enabled total 80K drwxr-s--- 2 ispconfig ispconfig 4.0K Mar 12 11:48 . drwxr-s--- 13 ispconfig ispconfig 4.0K Mar 12 11:48 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 68 Mar 12 11:48 apache2_plugin.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/apache2_plugin.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 71 Mar 12 11:48 apps_vhost_plugin.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/apps_vhost_plugin.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 65 Mar 12 11:48 bind_plugin.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/bind_plugin.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 73 Mar 12 11:48 cron_jailkit_plugin.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/cron_jailkit_plugin.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 65 Mar 12 11:48 cron_plugin.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/cron_plugin.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 69 Mar 12 11:48 firewall_plugin.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/firewall_plugin.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 73 Mar 12 11:48 ftpuser_base_plugin.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/ftpuser_base_plugin.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 68 Mar 12 11:48 getmail_plugin.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/getmail_plugin.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 72 Mar 12 11:48 maildeliver_plugin.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/maildeliver_plugin.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 68 Mar 12 11:48 mailman_plugin.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/mailman_plugin.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 65 Mar 12 11:48 mail_plugin.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/mail_plugin.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 75 Mar 12 11:48 mysql_clientdb_plugin.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/mysql_clientdb_plugin.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 77 Mar 12 11:48 network_settings_plugin.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/network_settings_plugin.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 75 Mar 12 11:48 postfix_filter_plugin.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/postfix_filter_plugin.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 75 Mar 12 11:48 postfix_server_plugin.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/postfix_server_plugin.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 75 Mar 12 11:48 shelluser_base_plugin.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/shelluser_base_plugin.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 78 Mar 12 11:48 shelluser_jailkit_plugin.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/shelluser_jailkit_plugin.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 76 Mar 12 11:48 software_update_plugin.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/software_update_plugin.inc.php root@manager /etc/bind # Code: ls -la /usr/local/ispconfig/server/mods-enabled total 52K drwxr-s--- 2 ispconfig ispconfig 4.0K Mar 12 11:48 . drwxr-s--- 13 ispconfig ispconfig 4.0K Mar 12 11:48 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 64 Mar 12 11:48 client_module.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/mods-available/client_module.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 62 Mar 12 11:48 cron_module.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/mods-available/cron_module.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 66 Mar 12 11:48 database_module.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/mods-available/database_module.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 61 Mar 12 11:48 dns_module.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/mods-available/dns_module.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 62 Mar 12 11:48 mail_module.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/mods-available/mail_module.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 70 Mar 12 11:48 monitor_core_module.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/mods-available/monitor_core_module.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 75 Mar 12 11:48 remoteaction_core_module.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/mods-available/remoteaction_core_module.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 69 Mar 12 11:48 rescue_core_module.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/mods-available/rescue_core_module.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 64 Mar 12 11:48 server_module.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/mods-available/server_module.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 60 Mar 12 11:48 vm_module.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/mods-available/vm_module.inc.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 61 Mar 12 11:48 web_module.inc.php -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/mods-available/web_module.inc.php
Thats all ok. Please check if the paths to the named configuration files etc. under System > Server Config > DNS are correct. If thats the case, then there might be a problem with the dns record you created as ispconfig does not write the dns record when bind refuses to load it e.g. when the zone has no ns records or the ns records does not exist as a-records etc. You can see such errors by enabling loglevel debug, then modifying the dns records and check the log a minute later.
something strange is going one.... I think I'll just re-setup the whole thing. Can I just run the ISPConfig install script again after removing the the IPSConfig database?
Please use the uninstall.php to remove ispconfig from the server. The script is in the install folder. But I'am note sure if the reinstall will help, better you just run the server script in debug mode to see the reason for the problem: http://www.faqforge.com/linux/debugging-ispconfig-3-server-actions-in-case-of-a-failure/
