  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS.

Adding subdomain Error: DNS record already exists.

New Pleskian
Hello Everyone!

I recently updated to plesk 12.5 (centos 7), and seems be I'm now unable to add some type of subdomains,
I already followed this KB: http://kb.odin.com/en/1365 but I don't have any entry in the DNS before traying to add the subdomain

lets say I have domain.tld and I want add a subdomain called test.domain.tld, so I enter into Subscription panel and I click add Subdomain, I insert test and when I press OK, plesk return to the subscription page with the error: Error: DNS record already exists. checking the DNS entry, I can found plesk successfully added an A record to test.domain.tld (not existing before)

/var/log/plesk/panel.log
Code:
[2015-11-24 17:06:30] ERR [panel] DNS record already exists.
[2015-11-24 17:10:10] ERR [1] DNS record already exists.

So i cancel the DNS record (not only from the panel but also directly into db) and try again, and I have the same problem, I tried many names not just "test". and many domains, I have this problem everywhere. the only thing works, is if I use the wildcard * as a subdomain, in this case is successfully added (??!!).

so basically I'm unable to add new subdomains...

any idea ?
 
Have you tried solution from this KB article?

# plesk repair db

also may be useful.
 
Hi IgorG

thanks for your suggestion, I just tried
Code:
Checking the Plesk database using the native database server tools .. [OK]
Checking the structure of the Plesk database ........................ [OK]
Checking the consistency of the Plesk database ...................... [OK]
Error messages: 0; Warnings: 0; Errors resolved: 0

but everything seems ok. any other ideas ?
 
in the meantime I added the subdomain as a new domain and it worked, but I'm still unable to add subdomains in any of my subscriptions
 
Dear Igor, yes I tried the repair tool mentioned in the KB article,
as pasted above, is not working
 
There are really inconsistency in database of directly in dns zone files. I'd suggest you contact Odin Support Team for deep investigation and fix directly on your server.
 
Hi,

I still have this problem, on almost all domains.
these without a DNS master zone too...
