  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    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. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

[HOWDOI] Install new domain that exists in DNS

Hi everyone,

I am trying to create the domain "martinlawrence.ca" to my Plesk installation. However, the domain already exists in DNS, as the Windows 2008 server is a domain controller with that domain. So I get the error "Error: DNS records for domain with such name already exist"

How do I go about adding this domain to Plesk?

Thanks,

Martin Lawrence
 
I can suggest you remove all related records in psa database with following method:

1. Find dns_zone_id first with

select id from dns_zone where name='martinlawrence.ca';

2. Find all DNS records for this dns_zone_id:

select * from dns_recs where dns_zone_id =XXX;

3. Remove all these records and try add domain again.

I hope it will help.
 
Hello Igor.

In My case report:
mysql> select id from dns_zone where name='netgames3d.net';
Empty set (0.00 sec)
 
I find another way to find the DNS record with the:

select * from dns_recs where dns_zone_id =XXX; searching ID by ID from Id 1

I've deleted the record and after try re install the domain show the fallow error:
Failed domain creation: Unable to update domain data: Failed mail post-configuration: Can't create mail domain servie: mail_Facade->createDomain() failed: mailmng failed: MEAOPO.PostOffice.AddPostOffice failed for name netgames3d.net [netgames3d.net]
 
Check if postoffice for netgames3d.net was already created in MailEnable:

Run %plesk_dir%\Mail Servers\Mail Enable\Bin\MailEnable.msc

If it is there then remove it and try to create domain again.
