Regarding dns_templatezone_add

Greetings,

I am trying to use the API function dns_templatezone_add , with the code :

Code:

    
    function zoneAdd($ispapi, $session_id, $customer_id, $main_domain, $nameserver1, $nameserver2, $vhost_ipv4)
    $template_id = 3;
    $domain = $main_domain;
    $ip = $vhost_ipv4;
    $ns1 = $nameserver1;
    $ns2 = $nameserver2;
    $email = 'srv.server.com';
    $ispapi->dns_templatezone_add($session_id, $customer_id, $template_id, $domain, $ip, $ns1, $ns2, $email);

The problem that I am encountering is that this function does not seem to update the server_id column (gives it value 0) in dns_soa table. I think this is what causes the zone to not getting included into /etc/bind/named.conf.local (the zone gets created correctly, it is jut not included in named.conf.local and not loaded to the bind server (there are no zones with .err)).
When I add the zone trough ispconfig UI with Zone Wizard, all gets added correctly (server_id gets a value of 1 which is the default server, and the zone gets included, using the same template and data in the fields).
Could you please tell me if I'm missing something? Ca I pass a server_id paramater to dns_templatezone_add ?

Thank you

 

Upon further debug I saw that this behavior might be caused by the fact that default_dnsserver field in client table, gets a value of 0, regardless if the client is added via WEB UI or API (even other default services servers get the value 0. like default_dbserver).
If I manually edit the client table and set default_dnsserver to a value of 1 , all works . But the default_dnsserver gets overwritten back to 0 upon any modification of the client.

 

I found the cause of the issue. It seems to be :
- client gets added via API -> All works fine
- After -> in the web UI of ISPconfig, if I click save on the Limits page of the client , some of the settings of the client, including default DNS server gets overwritten with wrong values. I do not have client templates set or anything that could overwrite. I don't know if this is some bug or something on my end.

 

Hello Till,

Unfortunately I did not find any problem on my configuration.
As to eliminate something I may have missed, I have installed a default ISPconfig using : "Perfect Server Automated ISPConfig 3 Installation on Debian 10 - 11 and Ubuntu 20.04" (I am using Ubuntu 20.04 btw).
I did not touch any of the settings. Everything is default as it comes from that tutorial. I have only used the Web UI of ISPconfig to add a client.
- I have added a client trough the WEB UI, with the default settings.
- Checked client table -> all is good, everything has workable values (default_* are populated with value 1). I did not touch anything here either.
- Back to the WEB UI. Just clicked the Save button at the end of the page on the limits tab.
- Checked client table again -> the default_* fields get reset to 0. These fields seem to contain the keys/relations to the default services like web, dns, mail and so on.
When this happens, things get buggy on the clients end of the panel.
I have used both Firefox and Chrome to test this.
The fields that contain the multiple services selection (with the boxes), seem to be causing this .
I do not have enough know-how of how ISPconfig code works, to debug further. Will try to hardcode the value 1 on these fields in the php code of ISPconfig.
I hope the devs can reproduce this, as it can cause problems.
