#4802 Use of uninitialized value

[M.T.R]

Hi,

there are two of them since new version:

[Use of uninitialized value $bind8::bind_version in pattern match (m//) at /usr/share/webmin/bind8/bind8-lib.pl line 55.]
[Use of uninitialized value $bind8::bind_version in numeric ge (>=) at /usr/share/webmin/bind8/bind8-lib.pl line 1437.]

Hope this helps to repair.
Thanks in advance

Cheers
mike

What does the /etc/webmin/bind8/version file contain on your system?

[M.T.R]

Hi Jamie,

i attach the /etc/webmin/bind8/config
only file in this folder.

What output do you get from the command named -v on your system?

[M.T.R]

you mean just -v ???

i get
sh: 1: -v: not found

cheers mike

[Jamie Cameron]

No, I mean "named -v" (without the quotes)

[M.T.R]

same procedure:

named -v
sh: 1: named: not found
named -v
sh: 1: named: not found

??

That's pretty odd, as I'd expect that the BIND named command is installed somewhere on your system! Try finding it with :

find / -type f -name named

[M.T.R]

i tried:
find / -type f -name named

but the system finds nothing.

Which Linux distro and version is this?

[M.T.R]

Debian Linux 8
Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 on x86_64

So the file /usr/sbin/named doesn't exist on your system? If not, are you sure that BIND is even installed?

Actually, when are you seeing this error anyway?

[M.T.R]

when i verify installed software packages i cannot find any BIND installed
i do not remember having installed this software.

so the error seems to come without having this software in use.

hope this helps.

looking at webmin installed modules, i do not know how to verify which modules are installed.
atleast i do not remember having installed the webmin module named bind dns server.

Ok, I understand now - this will be fixed in the next Webmin release.

[M.T.R]

thanks Jamie,

cheers mike

[M.T.R]

hi jamie,

recognized, that you updated the bind module.
nevertheless this error message still comes up:
Use of uninitialized value $bind8::bind_version in numeric ge (>=) at /usr/share/webmin/bind8/bind8-lib.pl line 1437.
i do not know if this is related to your change.
just wanted to inform you.

all the best
cheers mike

[Jamie Cameron]

That's harmless, but I'll fix it

[M.T.R]

thanks,

cheers mike
