  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Cannot add a domain - DNS error

runes911

New Pleskian
I can no longer add a domain to my server. I get the following DNS error message when trying to add tomatospider.com:

Error: Failed domain creation: Unable to update domain data: Unable to restore the DNS zone: an error occurred while adding the /24 IN PTR tomatospider.com. record: Incorrect DNS record values were specified.

I have tried repairing the plesk installation using the plesk reconfigurator, restarting the DNS service, restarting the server, and I have tried restoring the default dns settings. What am I missing?
 
What sort of following SQL query in Plesk database

mysql> select * from dns_recs where type='PTR' and val like '%tomatospider.com%';

?
 
C:\Parallels\Plesk\admin\bin>dbclient.exe --direct-sql --sql="select * from dns_
recs where type='PTR' and val like '%tomatospider.com%';"
id dns_zone_id type host displayHost val displayVal
opt time_stamp




Did I do that correctly?
 
Looks like you have incorrect PTR record in DNS zone but haven't it in database. Try to remove this record from zone.
 
I figured it out. It was a problem with my DNS template settings. I had to go in and change all instances of <ip> to the IP of the webserver.
