Impossible delete IPV6

Daniele Della

Hello, 

I have a problem on an Almalinux 8 server with cPanel/WHM.


I have set IPv6, within the nameservers in the WHM, but I need to remove it.

Unfortunately if I go to delete the value and save, it comes back.

So I thought, via terminal, to look for where these values ​​are saved in the file on the machine but I couldn't find the file where they are saved.

Does anyone know the path to the file where I find the IPv6 data associated with the nameserver saved?

I tried at least thirty files.

Thank you

    Hey there!  The most likely place for these would be in a unique zone file in /var/named/nameserver-name.db or inside the zone that controls the nameserver.  For example, if you have ns1.domain.com you would look inside /var/named/domain.com.db

    Please be cautious when manually editing files directly on the server, as you also have to update the serial number every time you manually edit a DNS zone.

    If you find the zone file you want to change you can make the edits through WHM >> DNS Zone Manager

    Thank you very much, but the situation has not been resolved.

    I'll try to explain myself better if I enter "Basic WebHost Manager® Setup" and then at the bottom I go to "Nameservers" (where I have the nameservers with my domain name), when I click on "configure address records" if I try to delete or even just to change the value set in the IPV6 address, after saving the address that was there before returns again.

    This in an infinite loop.

    I can't help it.

    I would like to be able to activate cPanel support directly but I bought the license through OVH.

    Right, that's expected behavior.  As long as the IP address exists *somewhere* as a nameserver on the system, it will show up in that page.  If you manually tracked down and removed it from the DNS zones, it would stop showing up (or at least it should if things are working well).

    First of all, thanks again.

    I removed all AAAA records for each DNS zone.

    Despite this, the error reported above persists, that value is blocked, it cannot be modified or deleted.

    That's odd - it would be best to reach out to OVH about the issue so they can check the server.
