[SOLVED] DNS and Samba conflicting after upgrade 5 -> 6
« on: July 22, 2019, 11:35:49 am »
Dear Forum,

I am running a (now) Zentyal 6 Developer Server on dedicated hardware for my Company. It is used mainly as AD-Controller/Samba-Server for Win Clients and hosting two virtual machines as well.

The Upgrade from 5 to 6 was very challenging, I had to solve a lot of errors, but I guess I finally made it, as aptitude reports no broken, missing or out-of-date-packages. Some trouble may have been caused by dist-upgrading - didn't know it was a bad idea then.

One final issue remains, though. When I reboot the server without samba/domain module, it runs fine. As soon as I activate samba, DNS breaks, and the UI hangs and reports an unknown state for dns module.

systemctl reports
Code: [Select]
● bind9.service - BIND Domain Name Server

Jul 22 10:48:25 server systemd[1]: bind9.service: Failed with result 'signal'.

Some googlework did return something on that error, but nothing (for me) useful.

I am at a complete loss as to what I should do about the issue. The file indicated is not plain text (should it be?).
I'd try to purge and reinstall bind and/or samba, but it looks just like a configuration error. And, of course, I'd rather not want to lose my samba users and files... Don't know what purging samba does to them.

I would be really grateful for a helping hand and/or directions where to look or what to provide. And, as always, the thing has to work yesterday...

This one seems to look similar (starting at approx. 1/3 of page), though I can't figure out which modifications to apply, and how, as the handling and placement of config files are somewhat different in zentyal...

    OK, I might have solved the problem. I pushed my luck and
    • purged bind9
    That took down
    • zentyal-dns and
    • zentyal-samba
    as well and left a couple of packages stranded. Trying to reinstall bind9 led to errors concerning conflicting dependencies. So I did an autoremove of the remains.

    Afterwards reinstalling bind9, zentyal-dns and zentyal-samba did the job apparently, Samba and bind seem to like each other again. Let's just see for how long.

    Thanks anyway
    Ralf

After upgrading It's useful to run these commands in order to check packages:

Code: [Select]
sudo dpkg -l | grep 'zentyal-'

So you'll see the installed version packages.

Code: [Select]
dpkg -l | egrep -v '^(ii|rc)'

In order to check for broken packages.

In your case, if I haven't had found broken packages or outdated package versions, I would have tried to change the BIND9 to the samba internal DNS server and afterwards to change to BIND9 again: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Changing_the_DNS_Back_End_of_a_Samba_AD_DC
