dns_get_record(): A temporary server error occurred.

[Umplo]

Hi there,

I've installed Odin on an Ubuntu 20.04 system, and configured Apache2 with a self-signed SSL certificate. Laravel is configured with composer and npm, and PHP 7.4 is connected to the latest releases of MySQL and Redis databases, both of which deployed via docker on the same host separately, and connected as per the odin .env. Everything is working so far except for DNS monitoring, which is a total shame. Currently, I'm running into the following error in my laravel logs:

[2024-03-02 16:45:39] local.ERROR: dns_get_record(): A temporary server error occurred.

And consequently, monitoring "DNS Records" is not working at all.

What is working?

• , Edit. Registration and Login of accounts.
• Monitoring: Open Graph, Uptime Monitoring,SSL Reports, Robots.txt, and perhaps scheduled task events as well, though I haven't tested this last one.
• Adding and deleting websites.

Hi,

Sorry I don't think I'm going to be much good here, a guess would be that whatever PHP calls under the hood for fetching dns records is failing because of a system/networking issue.

Hi @OwenMelbz,

I'm not convinced it's simply a DNS or network misconfiguration.

As things stand, DNS resolution works fine on the ubuntu host, and Odin is perfectly capable of monitoring sites online, such as https://www.microsoft.com, and https://www.cnn.com, as seen below.

I'm aware there's a PHP bug that leads to the aforementioned error, and I'm wondering if it could be related;

[OwenMelbz]

Are you able to run it on a newer version of php?

[Umplo]

@OwenMelbz Which version do you recommend for Odin?

[OwenMelbz]

Theoretically it shouldn't matter, but if you're experiencing a bug in the version you're running then anything newer to try and see if that's the case, so could just try something like 8.2 and see what happens
