Hello everyone I have a FC4 installed flawlessly and ISP 2.12 with all available packages. I am using whois.cart to process the hosting packages, and it works great, except for: when the dns gets added... I get the following created: 1) DNS 1) DNS Slave. Now, as soon as it creates the DNS, bind stops working. When I try to restart bind it says: (already exists previous definition ...) for DNS Slave of the domain.tld. If I remove the Slave DNS and restart....its ok. So the problem lies at the Slave DNS. Any input?
The exact error message is: named failed. The error was: Stopping named: [FAILED] Starting named: Error in named configuration: /etc/named.conf:42: zone 'dada.com': already exists previous definition: /etc/named.conf:36 [FAILED] -------------------------------------------------------------------- contents of /etc/named.conf options { pid-file "/var/named/chroot/var/run/named/named.pid"; directory "/var/named/chroot/var/named"; auth-nxdomain no; /* * If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want * to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source * directive below.

Is my assumption right that you're running the primary and secondary DNS on the same server? You cannot have the same zone (dada.com) on one server as primary and secondary zone! Please remove the slave zone dada.com from ISPConfig and restart Bind.
Export slave zones Hi, Is it possible to export slave zones from ispconfig and import them into another ispconfig secondary dns server? what part do i need to export from ispconfig mysql database, and do i also need to copy the zone files or does ispconfig create them for me when i import the slave dns data? Tim
If you don't want to end up with a messed up database, I highly recommend to create the slave zones manually in the ISPConfig web interface.
