dns changes

[dgiff]

I was wondering if I make changes directly to the dns files how do I get those changes to update in psa as well? Do I have to add them manually to the db too?

You can add them manually but if Plesk doesn't recognise them it will delete them when you'll try to edit via Plesk. If you see in Plesk records edited by you it wont delete them. IMO better way is to add them with command line: list of commands /usr/local/psa/bin/dns.sh --help

I have come up w/ this solution to add A records into the db...

#!/bin/sh

mysql -Ns -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` -D psa -e"INSERT INTO `psa`.`dns_recs` (`dns_zone_id`,`type`,`displayHost`,`host`,`displa yVal`,`val`) VALUES((SELECT `id` FROM `dns_zone` WHERE `name` LIKE '$1'),'A','$2.$1','$2.$1','$3','$3');"

exit 0

Which is run like...

./mydns.sh example.com subname 127.0.0.1

But yes your right...

/usr/local/psa/bin/dns -a example.com -a subname -ip 127.0.0.1

... is a lot easier.

It's best to use plesk line utilities to add, delete or modify DNS data to avoid problems later.
