Adding Sub Domain DOES NOT create DNS Record! #240

Closed poppabear8883 closed 10 years ago

poppabear8883 commented 10 years ago

When you create a new subdomain, it should create a dns record for that domain automatically.

devnix commented 10 years ago

I didn't expect that behavour when I created my first subdomain on ZPanel too, and took me a while to understand it as there is no advice about creating a DNS record too.

I don't see this a critical bug, but it should be seriously considered for an upcoming patch or release! (or, at least, show an alert providing info and instructions)

poppabear8883 commented 10 years ago

So, there should be an extra step to creating a subdomain? I would assume that creating a subdomain (especially to those that are not familiar with how they work), should be as easy as creating the subdomain, not having to go into the dns manager and adding the dns record for the subdomain. Think about it, if a client creates a subdomain and it never seems to resolve, they would be chasing support around or spending hrs trying to figure out why its not working.

These are ofcourse just my own opinion, I think it should be added.

Thanks for reading.

IMHO, it shouldn't be an extra step, and that's what I'm saying on my previous post. But maybe there are some more important bugs that may need a faster fix than this. Of course, at least, the panel should have an alert telling the user to create the DNS record.

Read this post.. -> http://forums.zpanelcp.com/Thread-Create-DNS-Records-Automatically?pid=46920#pid46920 So if you want this you have to mod it... see same thread, you have to test it on the current Zpanel version.

Ok, so thats fine ... I just thought that this would be a simple addition to the core functionality of ZPanel .. I will work on a module for it .

Off Topic, How does one become a contributor to the zpanel development ?

I still believe this should be implemented as a separate 'system module' to marry up the Apache module and the Bind module as I've explained in my forum post that was linked above :)

...and just being more specific, I would suggest that it should be a 'system module' that utilising a 'hook' from the apache module that is then executed when new vhosts are created; this in turn should then create the DNS record as required.
