DNS Zones are not showing in list and system thinks they not exists

Submitted by Baterka on Tue, 10/08/2019 - 06:35

I am getting error:

Neither DNS zone example.com or any of its sub-domains exist on this system.

when I am trying to request wildcard certificate for my virtual server. I have BIND9 enabled and working.

On screenshot you can see that no DNS zones are showing (just default ones), so thats why I am getting this error.

But if you check next screenshot you can see there actually is zone...

I am not able to DNS validate my domain because of that.

I am having this exact same issue on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I have a paid support ticket open but so far no fix has been provided.

I found a solution that may work for you as well. I created a new dummy forward zone (ex. test.com) and after it finished creating the zone, all of the non-default BIND zones showed up too. Then you can delete the dummy zone and the non-default zones remained in Webmin.
