PATCH¶

In tinydns.inc change the function tinydns_dnscache_forwarding_servers to

function tinydns_dnscache_forwarding_servers() {
    if (! file_exists("/var/etc/nameservers.conf")) {
        printf("Error: cannot open /var/etc/nameservers.conf in tinydns_register_forwarding_servers().\n");
        return 1;
    }
    exec("echo 1 > /etc/dnscache/env/FORWARDONLY");
    if(is_dir("/etc/dnscache/root/servers/")) 
        exec("rm -R /etc/dnscache/root/servers/");
    exec("mkdir /etc/dnscache/root/servers/");
    /* dnscache does not allow @ to be a symbolic link */
    exec("cp /var/etc/nameservers.conf /etc/dnscache/root/servers/@");
}

I am sorry, but the TinyDNS package version 1.0.6.6 does not solve the problem.
Please see previously offered patch, which I believe does solve the problem.

With the latest tinydns.inc the patch is:

function tinydns_dnscache_forwarding_servers($index) {
        exec("echo 1 > /etc/dnscache{$index}/env/FORWARDONLY");
        if(is_dir("/etc/dnscache{$index}/root/servers/"))
                exec("rm -R /etc/dnscache/root/servers/");
        exec("mkdir -p /etc/dnscache{$index}/root/servers/");
        exec("/bin/cat /var/etc/nameserver_* > /etc/dnscache{$index}/root/servers/@");
}

Try reinstalling again.

Unfortunately it still does not work.
This patch works for me:

(dnscache-conf creates the directory for us, and fails if the directory is already existing)

Thank you very much for the fix - works for me now!
