      Whats the contents of /etc/resolv.conf?

      I added a safety belt to avoid adding an empty forward configuration.

          Ok i think i found the problem. Do you have any /var/etc/nameserver_* files which might have be empty?

            Hmmm, afraid no such thing there.

            
            $ ls -la /var/etc/nameserver_*
            ls: No match.

              Weird. The name servers are returned by either of two functions get_dns_servers() or get_nameservers(). The latter is if the DNS servers are overridden by DHCP. So I would assume yours is handled by get_dns_servers() - which reads the contents of resolv.conf and returns the values.

              If you go to 'Diagnostics -> Command prompt' and execute the following PHP code, it should return the name servers you listed.

              
              print_r(get_dns_servers());

                Yes, that works…

                
                Array
                (
                    [0] => 127.0.0.1
                    [1] => 217.31.204.130
                    [2] => 193.29.206.206
                )
