• Debian 11 has reached its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.81 is the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Issue with Slave DNS Manager

Colb

New Pleskian
Hello,

After reading https://devblog.plesk.com/2013/10/slave-dns-and-plesk/ i set up my secondary DNS server.
Everything is fine, the Slave DNS Manager connexion to the slave server is OK but it doesn't create the zones. I can create it manually and then synchronize, but that's not the idea.
Now, when you add a domain in Plesk, a DNS zone is automatically created on the slave server as well as on the master server.

In the logs i see :
Code:
received control channel command 'addzone mydomain.tld { type slave; file "mydomain.tld"; masters { xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; }; };'
received control channel command 'refresh mydomain.tld'
received control channel command 'addzone mydomain.tld { type slave; file "mydomain.tld"; masters { xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; }; };'

When i try manually to
Code:
 rndc -c slave.config addzone mydomain.tld
or
rndc -c slave.config addzone mydomain.tld '{ type slave; file "mydomain.tld"; masters { xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; }; };'
I got
Code:
rndc: slave.config does not exist
It seems the problem is there.

I already did a
chown -R named:named .
in /var/named

Do you have lines like

INFO [panel] Executing /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/modules/slave-dns-manager/scripts/slave-dns.php done.

in /usr/local/psa/admin/logs/panel.log ?
 
It looks like extension was not installed correctly. Try to re-install it and check /usr/local/psa/admin/logs/panel.log again.
 
No change.
I reinstalled the extension, and even tryied on a fresh install.
I think i missed something
 
Hey @Colb
The error "rndc: slave.config does not exist" is related to the non existing config path in your CLI execution:
Code:
rndc -c /usr/local/psa/var/modules/slave-dns-manager/slave_10.58.104.114.conf addzone mydomain.tld '{ type slave; file "mydomain.tld"; masters { xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; }; };'
Where the config file /usr/local/psa/var/modules/slave-dns-manager/slave_10.58.104.114.conf was created by the extension.

I can create it manually and then synchronize, but that's not the idea.
Could you please describe how do you create it and what do you expect?
