Unable to add virtual server to slave DNS servers during creation

Hi Jamie,

Thanks for your prompt response to the issue. Once I install the update, how can I get the slave DNS servers to pick up all of the domain names that they are missing due to the bug? (this has happened on more than one virtual server)

Thanks!

Hi,

I updated both slave DNS Webmin servers and both updates completed successfully. Then I disabled DNS on the affecting domains through the Virtualmin "disable-feature" command-line utility and attempted to re-enable it with the "enable-feature" utility. However, I still receive the exact same error message as before (though BIND continues to work just fine on the local system as it did before as well). I am running the latest versions of Webmin on all three machines.

Perhaps this issue is related to some other bug?

Thanks, -Logan

The issue also still occurs when adding a new virtual server, as shown in the full log below:

Here is the requested line:

Here is the contents of the module.info file (note this is from my Virtualmin system, not any of the two slaves):

I've never been prompted to update my Virtualmin system's BIND module, but I was prompted to on both slaves running only Webmin (but not Virtualmin). The OS versions and packages are the same across all three machines, I keep them all up to date.

I was able to resolve this issue by following the instructions in the following post: https://www.virtualmin.com/node/41721

Specifically, I launched the Upgrade Webmin utility on my primary Virtualmin system, which then showed me the BIND module update available (which was not shown at login like it was on the slave systems running only Webmin). Once I installed the update, the bug disappeared and I can successfully create DNS zones locally and on slaves yet again.
