Creating DNS zone cloudmin.org ..

I reinstalled Centos 5.6, assigned a fqdn hostname and installed cloudmin 5.5 again.

Cloudmin does the following

Creating DNS zone cloudmin.org ..
Adding zone to BIND configuration file ..
.. done

Is that a bug?

That looks fine to me ..

What hostname did you give your system?

I used a someserver.org hostname. (not cloudmin.org).

The issue is that Cloudmin's installer uses the hostname -d command to get your domain name .. which is probably returning .org as the domain!

Normally it would expect your server to be named something like xen.yourdomain.org , and so would create the domain cloudmin.yourdomain.org

If you don't have a real domain and are just creating VMs for testing purposes, the fake cloudmin.org domain will actually work OK.

I understand. Will reinstall everything and try from scratch again.
