<![CDATA[No explicit error when existing DNS record exist for a domain]]>I have registered a domain with Porkbun DNS API.

I havenot been able to register the main domain, I receive the following error:

External Error: Porkbun DNS error 400 {"status":"ERROR","message":"Create error: We were unable to create the DNS record."}

I created the app on a subdomain,and it worked fine.

How can I fix this?

Sadly https://porkbun.com/api/json/v3/documentation is not very detailed here, nor is the error message itself.

Possibly the API requires something else for the naked domain, since the subdomains work apparently fine then. But also I can't find anything mentioned in the docs 😕

Can you check if this might be a record conflict error which just reports as 400? Like do A records for that already exist?

and the PTR record on the VPS side is also already in place.

but attempting to associate an existing or a new web app to this naked domain is broken for some reason, and it makes no sense since both the A record MY and the MX record MAIL were created just fine.

It's probably looping waiting for something.

Here's the DNS current config:

I'm not going to update it straight away, so if you need more info, I can help.

But i plan to buy a new domain soon, and I'll report precisely then.

What are the "default configs" in this case?

Would it be possible to warn the user why it fails more precisely?
