Require bind8/bind8-lib.pl failed : Bad name after days' at /usr/share/webmin/bind8/bind8-lib.pl line 1224.

Hrm, that's an unusual problem!

What output do you receive if you run this command:

sed -n "1224 p" /usr/share/webmin/bind8/bind8-lib.pl

That should show what text is on line 1224 of that file.

this is what i got:

adm1n@usdm01:~$ sed -n "1224 p" /usr/share/webmin/bind8/bind8-lib.pl [ "D", $text{'days'} ], [4]- Exit 127 1224 p adm1n@usdm01:~$

I've attached the file.... I'm also very happy to just start entirely over, from a clean build as I really do need to have this thing working for email (by monday if at all possible) Thanks

Thanks .. although I am not seeing any perl errors in that file.

What output do you get from the following commands on your system :

perl -v
export PERLLIB=/usr/share/webmin
perl -c /usr/share/webmin/bind8/bind8-lib.pl

:/$ perl -v

:/$ export PERLLIB=/usr/share/webmin :/$ perl -c /usr/share/webmin/bind8/bind8-lib.pl /usr/share/webmin/bind8/bind8-lib.pl syntax OK :/$

So it looks like bind8-lib.pl is actually fine.

Are you still seeing that error? If so, exactly where in Virtualmin does it appear?

i do not see it anymore... HOWEVER.... my postfix mail queue has many emails that are error messages. Please notice ticket # 16573 that has no response to I posted almost 1 week ago.

If these errors in postfix are not common, it would be better (and faster) to start over with a clean build - as i believe there is something missing in the setup of the BIND DNS.
