Could not open the config file /etc/ebox/80dns.conf

[Josep <josep.spam@…>]

After installing the DNS module I get the error

Could not open the config file /etc/ebox/80dns.conf

on the dashboard.

In /var/log/ebox/ebox.log:

The file /etc/ebox/80dns.conf does not exist, but /etc/ebox/80dns.conf.dpkg-new does.

I have managed to update a number of entries in the DNS module, but still it does not start.

[Josep <josep.spam@…>]

Manually renaming 80dns.conf.dpkg-new to 80dns.conf resolves previous issue but raises a new one:

No such daemon: ebox.bind9

I can see a /etc/init/ebox.bind9.conf.dpkg-new Renaming it to /etc/init/ebox.bind9.conf seems to allow the DNS module to be started.

The root cause to this error appears to be that some script is not executed to properly configure the module after unpackaging it.

Just to confirm the previous point, I got an error when updating the System Updates.

Hi,

It seems that bind9 installation couldn't unpack all its files or that some of them where removed for any unkown reason. I recommend you to create by hand all the files needed by the installation script (like /var/run/named in the last error) until dpkg --configure -a can finish, and then reinstall ebox-dns and bind9 with sudo apt-get install --reinstall bind9 ebox-dns.

Regards,
