[19:05] < Ed6767> Hi - I'm trying to set up a web proxy per the help pages, have Apache and the security rules set fine, but creating the proxy on Horizon fails with "Error: RecordSet belongs in a child zone: redwarn.wmcloud.org. [19:06] < mutante> Ed6767: what is the proxy name you are trying to use? [19:06] < mutante> redwarn ? [19:06] < Ed6767> redwarn [19:06] < Ed6767> Yeah [19:08] < mutante> hmm. my proxy is still in wmflabs.org. it sounds like it would be connected to the migration from wmflabs to wmcloud domain [19:09] < Ed6767> I could try the other domain but it wouldn't be ideal with it being legacy and all [19:09] < mutante> Ed6767: i just checked and see both domains in the menu still [19:09] < mutante> yes, try it [19:09] < mutante> let's just see if it has that same error or not [19:09] < Ed6767> Nope same error Error: RecordSet belongs in a child zone: redwarn.wmflabs.org. [19:10] < mutante> did you do anyting in the "Zones" menu item before doing "Web Proxies" ? [19:10] < Ed6767> Nope all default - did I miss something? [19:11] < mutante> Ed6767: i dont know yet, but i just tried to create a proxy myself in a random project and it works [19:11] < mutante> could not confirm the issue there [19:11] < Ed6767> hm weird [19:12] < mutante> did "redwarn" exist before and was then deleted? maybe a remnant? [19:12] < mutante> would be tempted to try "redwarn2" [19:13] < Ed6767> Could try rw Idk [19:13] < Ed6767> Well that worked [19:13] < Ed6767> Just doesn't really like redwarn then [19:14] < mutante> Ed6767: well.. confirmed. 'redwarn' the word is bad :) [19:14] < mutante> i get the same error when i try that [19:14] < Ed6767> Thanks for you help! [19:14] < mutante> it seems like this has been used before [19:14] < mutante> it might still be worth a bug report though [19:16] < Ed6767> Yh would be slightly useful if it said it had already been taken [19:16] < Ed6767> Thanks again [19:17] < mutante> i am not sure if this is just "already taken" or if it is a bug that an old thing never gets cleaned up all the way [19:17] < mutante> you're welcome
The underlying problem here is that our OpenStack automation around project creation has created Designate (DNS) zones named redwarn.wmcloud.org and redwarn.wmflabs.org and transferred control of those zones to the redwarn project. Our Horizon dashboard for creating HTTP proxy records tries to create an A record in the wmflabs.org or wmcloud.org zone directly and this will fail if there is zone with the same name.
