Resolved Can not change DNS server-wide settings

[klowet]

Server operating system version

Debian 12

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.57 #1

Hi

In DNS Settings > Server-wide settings, I want to add the notify yes; also-notify { ... } records. But when I save these changes, I get this error:

Error: dnsmng failed: dnsmng: Could not start named-checkconf
System error 2: No such file or directory

The log from panel.log:

It's a fresh Plesk installation on Debian 12.


Thanks

Hi @klowet !
I was able to reproduce the issue on Plesk 18.0.57.1+Debian12. At the same time, it does not appear on Debian11 and RHELbased OSes (like Alam8), so it looks like OS-specific. I'll try to dig into it and let you know.

Hello again!
The cause of the issue is that in Debian 12 part of the DNS utilities were moved to another directory. The current behavior was confirmed as a bug that is yet to be fixed. In the meantime, there is a simple workaround available:
1. Connect to the server via SSH.
2. Create a link to the checkconf file in the error message by running "ln -s /usr/{bin,sbin}/named-checkconf"

Thanks @Yaroslav_T, that fix does work.
