    I accidently deleted a bunch of DNS Zone .db files from /var/named... i tried to add them each back one by one, and in whm under "Add a DNS Zone", i get this error: "Sorry, that's an invalid domain"

    Anyone know how i can add the dns zones back in named?

    cpbackup makes a backup of var named if you have backup enabled.
    make sure group named has access to the files db files.

    Even if you deleted the zones from /var/named, the configuration will still have them. You would need to remove the corresponding zones from /etc/named.conf before readding.

    If you have local backups enabled, check

    PATH_TO_BACKUP/cpbackup/daily/daily/dirs/_var_named


    It should have all your zones. If backups have already updated, try weekly and so on.

    Delete its entry from /etc/named.conf also and then add it from WHM.

    Else from SSH create a db directly in /var/named

    Either ways should solve the problem
