DNS entry does not appear

[digiweb]

Hi folks,

I am having a problem with some domains hosted at my Plesk 8.2 for Windows machine.

There are some domains that the dns entry are not created, when I create them thru the control panel.

Other things like mail, www and so on works just fine, but the dns for the domain simply does not appear.

I had to create the file myself at the /var folder, and add the entry at named.conf, and just after it the DNS started to work... this is happening just with a few domains...

Does anybody have a clue about the solution?

thanks so much!

Pedro

It looks like the problem in Plesk database. DNS zones for the problem domains have incorrect status. You need to enter you Plesk database

select status from dns_zones where name='<domain name>';

If the status is not zero. Set it to zero.

Then reconfigure this zone in dns server using

"%plesk_bin%\dnsmng.exe" update *

Dear Oleg,

I think it's fixed now, all dns zones were regenerated just fine...

thanks!

Dear Kirwin,

The plesk database depends on what database you have chosen, when you did the plesk install.... It must be a mysql, or a MS-SQL database.
For MS-SQL database (which is the one that I use), check the "psa" database, there should be a table named "dns_zone", status is there... then you can change the status thru a simple query.

I hope it helped...
