DNS Template change & v-rebuild-dns-domain command

Felix · Post by **Felix** » Tue Aug 18, 2015 9:27 pm

As I understand it, when I change the default DNS template found at /usr/local/vesta/data/templates/dns/default.tpl
, then I need to run the bash command

Code: Select all

v-rebuild-dns-domain

to update a specific site that uses this template, or the bash command

Code: Select all

v-rebuild-dns-domains

to update all of the domains of a specific user.

So, I made changes to the default DNS template (added another NS record, removed A records for pop and ftp and changed the www A record to CNAME) to fit my needs. After that I run the command

Code: Select all

 v-rebuild-dns-domain USER DOMAIN

expecting all of these changes to be reflected on the sites zone file, but nothing actually changed. All of the domains' DNS entries are the same as before. There are still A records for ftp and pop, and www is an A record instead of a CNAME.

No luck either with the command

Code: Select all

v-rebuild-dns-domains

Any ideas?
I'm on Ubuntu 14.04

Your user is using the default dns template?

This is interesting... I'd completely forgotten about this thread and today (2,5 years later) I was looking for an answer to this same problem.

Anyway, the problem is still there and a quick workaround I've found is to apply a different DNS template to the domain and then reapply the changed DNS template, through the Web Control Panel.

I can confirm the issue, neither of v-rebuild-dns-domain or v-rebuild-dns-domains is working. The workaround mentioned is what i've been using to apply any changes to the template.
