Change all domains TTL

[Chris1]

Hello,

I'd like to change all domains TTL, when I try to change the DNS template it doesn't seem to change every domains TTL, not sure why?

I saw this: http://kb.odin.com/en/120025

I notice that there are two values I probably need to change: ttl='900', ttl_unit='60'

What does this mean exactly? What is the difference between the ttl and ttl_unit?

 

[IgorG]

TTL is value, TTL_UNIT is measure - sec/min/hours/...

Hi Igor,

Thanks for that. So in the above example what does the 60 and 900 mean?

Would this script work on both Plesk 10 and 12?

 

[IgorG]

900 and 60 means 900 minutes.
Yes, I think it should work for both versions.

 

[Chris1]

So for 3 hours you would do ttl=180 and ttl_unit=60?

Correct.

This is the script we use prior to moving sites between servers to lower the TTL

3600S = 3600 seconds = 1 hour

uncomment the $domdone you want to test what will be done or to actualy do it

<?php

$pwfile = "/etc/psa/.psa.shadow";

$pw = trim(file_get_contents($pwfile));

mysql_connect("localhost","admin", $pw);
mysql_select_db("psa");

if (!($resdoms=mysql_query("select name from dns_zone where status = '0' ORDER by name;"))) {
print("MySQL error: " . mysql_error());
}

$aantal = mysql_num_rows($resdoms);
echo "$aantal domains found ... Starting domains\n";
for ($r = 0; $r < mysql_num_rows( $resdoms); $r++) {
$row = mysql_fetch_array ($resdoms);
//$domdone = "would do /usr/local/psa/bin/dns --update-soa $row[0] -soa-ttl 3600S\n";
$domdone = shell_exec("/usr/local/psa/bin/dns --update-soa $row[0] -soa-ttl 3600S");
echo "$domdone";
}

?>

There is a lot more you can adjust with the dns utility
exented documentation is here

hope this helps

Thank you, much appreciated!

Just a question though, why doesn't the TTL get changed for all domains when you do it via the GUI? "Tools & Settings" > "DNS Template" > "SOA Records Template"

Some domains TTL change but some don't?
