Hi,

I've encounterd a problem with cpanel DNS and solved it in a non treditional way.
I'd like your comments on the way.

The config:
2 cpanel server, primary and secondary DNS.

The problem:
when pressing " Synchronize DNS Records With Primary Nameserver " on the secondary, I'm getting Scp failed!
However /scripts/dnstransfer when run from commad line works.
scp from command line also works.
i.e. trust relationship configured currectly.

The solution:
change the file /scripts/dnstransfer
and replace the line:
system("scp "Protocol 1,2" $dnsmaster:/etc/named.conf /etc/named.conf.dnstranfer")

to

system("scp "Protocol 1,2" $dnsmaster:/etc/named.conf /etc/named.conf.dnstranfer 2>/dev/null")


Only problem with that is that each cpanel update I'll have to eedit the file (wrote to cpanel about that and hope they'll change it soon)


Your comments?


Cheers.

chmod +i the file so it cant be overwritten.

yeah, you mean chattr +i.
Thanks, good edvice

yes im sorry!

brain slippage, chattr +i

lol

*holds head in shame*

You should make this clear for everyone because the only time you need to "Synchronize DNS Records With Primary Nameserver " on the secondary" is if your using the Master/Slave relationship, running DNS on both a Master and Slave setup. Ordinarily however, people running one box, or two boxes using NS1 - NS4 should not be running this command.
