[Pdns-users] Re: paid pdns support, new parsing record content issue

Bert,

Unfortunately that was the entirety of the relevant segment, afaik-

Jun  4 22:55:35 pdnsNN pdns[18626]: Exception: Parsing record content: r: 

Everything surrounding it was minutes away and "typical" (i.e. not to worry about, from what we understand) "errors":

Jun  4 22:52:19 pdnsNN pdns[18626]: TCP nameserver had error, cycling backend: Timeout reading data
Jun  4 22:59:36 pdnsNN pdns[18626]: TCP server is without backend connections, launching
Jun  4 23:17:36 pdnsNN pdns[18626]: gmysql Connection succesful

I've been looking at the source in pdns/rcpgenerator.hh which matched the RecordTextWriter class, and pdns/dnsrecords.hh which matched:

 throw MOADNSException("Parsing record content: "+string(rtr.what())); 

which appeared to be an instance of RecordTextWriter 

Unfortunately my C++ experience is lacking (have only done a moderate amount of C, in an academic context) so it's mostly gibberish to me honestly.

Hi Daniel,

Can you provide an exact paste of the error? I'm trawling through the source
to see what could possibly cause this error, so I need every clue I can get.

If you see any lines above or below the error that might be interesting,
please also send those.
