Hi. I'm trying to get my server running Cpanel to use a different machine as a primary name server. I've followed the directions in the manual to set up a trust relationship and everything seemed to go well.

When I create a new account the script gets to the DNS section and gives me a permission denied error.

Permission denied, please try again.

I've searched both these forums and the cpanel forums and there are others with this problem but there are no solutions. Also, I sent in a support request to cpanel but there is no reply yet.

Any help would be GREATLY apreciated.

Thanks,

Aaron

You should double-check that the trust relationship is working correctly. Try to SSH between the servers and see if it asks for a password. Sometimes the /scripts/trustme trust relationship will not work if the /root/.ssh directory does not work on the server that you want to be able to SSH to without a password. If that is the case, you might want to run the following commands on the server that you wish to be able to access without a password:

mkdir /root/.ssh
touch /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 600 /root/.ssh/authorized_keys

After doing that, try creating the trust relationship again and see if you are able to SSH to the target server without a password.

Great. I'll give that a shot. Thanks.

That seemed to work. Now a couple other problems. First, I get these errors in the script:

Added Entries to httpd.conf (noip)
Added DomainAlias Entry
Added Named Entry
Added Named File
bash: /scripts/zoneexists: No such file or directory
bash: /usr/sbin/ndc: No such file or directory
Added Remote Named File

The zone still gets added so it's not a huge issue, the bigger problem is that BIND does not restart automatically. I have to go in and manually restart it before the changes will take place. Is there some way to make it do this after every change?

Try

ln -s /usr/sbin/rndc /usr/sbin/ndc

(Thanks to Adam C. Greenfield on the Cpanel.net forums)

to temporarily (or... really fix it for good) you could restart bind say.. every five minutes via cron.
