Cannot edit or show DNS records on newly installed server

Hi,
I just installed Cyber Panel on my VDS server. The installation worked smoothly, but there is an issue with DNS and nameservers. I just added new nameservers but I can’t edit them and I can’t even see it in the menu. If I try to add them once again it gives me an error “Nameserver already exist”.

When I try to add a DNS zone it is the same. I think my issue is the same as here, but there is no solution too (dns - Records not showing after adding nameserver in cyberpanel - Stack Overflow)

Thanks in advance

H.

I have the same problem in a new CyberPanel installation. DNS are not listed and I get the error “Cannot fetch records. Error message: Domains matching query does not exist”

Because during installation you choose minimal installation and that does not install DNS server.

Ok, it’s good to know the source of the problem, even though I’m almost sure that I choose all the options that I saw available.
I see PowerDNS enable as well.

But, more important: how can it be fixed?

You have to install CyberPanel with DNS enabled.

Thank you, Usman.

Does it mean that I need to clean the server and reinstall a fresh OS and CyberPanel with DNS enabled?

Isn’t there a way to install the DNS service only?

Any documentation on this one would be appreciated.

Ok, I took the hard of work of deleting the whole server, reinstalling Ubuntu again and CyberPanel from scratch. I double checked that DNS was enabled (and it was the first time) and I still get the exact same error/problems.

This is frustrating, I understand it is a free system, but without basic community support or documentation, it is pointless.

Did u already fix it?
I have cyperpanel v2.1.1 Stable run on Centos 7
I have same issue.
The records available in database cyperpanel and tabel records, but not shown in https://myip:8090/dns/addDeleteDNSRecords

On my case, it was my mistake. I was using sub-domains, not domains, so the DNS zones were not showing for sub-domains, which makes sense.
