PowerDNS not update zones

Juán Lopez

When we create / edit / delete a record in a zone from "DNS Zone Manager", the page show a success prompt, but it does not update the zone.

After trying to update the zone, we checked the "/var/named/{domain}.db" file and it was not modified. The permissions were:

-rw-------  1 named named 3630 jul 24 23:15 {domain}.db

Additionally, we have a secondary server configured. When we make changes, the secondary server is updated. After an indeterminate amount of time, the records are synchronized and the updates disappear from secondary server.

    Hey there!  Can you run this command against the domain name/zone you're working with to see if that reports any errors?

    named-checkzone domain.com /var/named/domain.com.db

    Hello, the command does not report any error.

    root@whm:~# named-checkzone plumed.es /var/named/domain.es.db
    zone domain.es/IN: loaded serial 2024072801
    OK

    Thanks for checking that.  It looks like the serial numbers on your zone are out of sync, which can cause this type of behavior.  I would manually update that serial number to one from today (such as 2024080109) and then sync that zone across the cluster to ensure they all match.

    There is no command to change those - you'll have to do that manually inside the zone.  Edit the zone file through SSH, then run this command to update the system:

    /scripts/rebuilddnsconfig

    then run this command to update the zone across the cluster:

    /scripts/dnscluster syncall
