Unable to Save Changes in Some Modules When Setting Up DNS
« on: April 21, 2009, 03:44:13 pm »
On a clean install from eBox CD-ROM and applying updates available as at 21 April 2009, the following occurs when attempting to activate DNS.

Module Status-->Tick DNS to activate, save changes and confirm changes to be saved.  The save routine generates the following error message:
"Some modules reported error when saving changes. More information on the logs in /var/log/ebox   
The following modules failed while saving their changes"
   
No modules are listed.

Attached is /var/log/ebox/ebox.log
The following logs are 258Kb & 147Kb respectively and are over the size limit allowed for attachments.
access.log
error.log

The Dashboard shows DNS as running and Module Status shows DNS as ticked.

A Domain name of TESTDOM is added and saved without errors.
Adding a hostname generates the same error message as shown above.

Is anyone able to advise what is causing the problem and how to resolve it?

sudo tail -f /var/log/ebox/ebox.log

This matter is now resolved and was not a problem with eBox.

The problem was due to amending the hostname in /etc/hostname without making a corresponding change in /etc/hosts.  Once they were both changed to match, the matter of eBox reporting an error during saving disappeared. DNS, domain and hostnames are now reported by eBox as OK.

Thanks for taking the time to offer assistance with this matter, especially at a time that I presume is quite busy for you.  There might be an issue with resolving names but I will investigate this and open a separate thread if needed as the original purpose of this thread is now resolved.
