Subdomain creation issue

Support
#1

Hi there,
I am trying to create subdomain so I set a node using blockstack-subdomain-registrar start abc.xyz then I tried to initiate request to this node using curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"zonefile": "$ORIGIN farouk\n$TTL 3600\n_file URI 10 1 \"file:///tmp/farouk.profile.json\"\n", "name": "farouk", "owner_address": "mhetNHR6JDGnHhxoQw8xJdxps9sNUeBH7g"}' http://localhost:3000/register/ but I got an error reply {"status":false,"message":"Failed to validate your registration request."}. Appreciate if anyone can support .

Hey @minafarouk,

Is there anything in the subdomain registrar log? The error path that leads to that message would have logged something – either to stderr, or to a file if you redirected it.

Looking at this a bit more, I see that you’re doing this in on the public testnet. I don’t think this is currently supported in the subdomain registrar. I’ll make a branch that adds support for it and post the URL here when it’s ready.

Okay, I have a pull request open on the subdomain registrar that will allow you to run it on the testnet. It’s here: https://github.com/blockstack/subdomain-registrar/pull/24

Config file I used when testing:

$ cat /tmp/subdomain-registrar.json 
{
  "winstonConsoleTransport": {
      "level": "debug",
      "handleExceptions": false,
      "timestamp": true,

Usage:

$ BSK_TESTNET=1 BSK_SUBDOMAIN_CONFIG=/tmp/subdomain-registrar.json npm run start

$ curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"zonefile": "$ORIGIN farouk\n$TTL 3600\n_file URI 10 1 \"file:///tmp/farouk.profile.json\"\n", "name": "farouk", "owner_address": "mhetNHR6JDGnHhxoQw8xJdxps9sNUeBH7g"}' http://localhost:4567/register/

I am tried but still got an error{"status":false,"message":"Failed to validate your registration request."} and you can find below my configurations and steps that I followed:
BSK_TESTNET=1 BSK_SUBDOMAIN_CONFIG=/root/subdomain-registrar2/subdomain-registrar/config.json npm run start
and config .json is
{
“winstonConsoleTransport”: {
“level”: “debug”,
“handleExceptions”: false,
“timestamp”: true,
“stringify”: true,
“colorize”: true,
“json”: false
},
“domainName”: “mina.dmaildmaildmail”,
“ownerKey”: “1cdcc5f5162077206e93e18a672e2d40de67599d6a7d85bc2e2288e09500cffc01”,
“paymentKey”: “8ad205d9c9752b776cd9803bc9bb430dabadd8d21c45b3cea482bd0e4875f27601”,
“batchDelayPeriod”: 15,
“checkTransactionPeriod”: 5,
“zonefileSize”: 40960,

“port”: 4567,

“apiKeys”: [],
“proofsRequired”: 0,
“disableRegistrationsWithoutKey”: false,
“nameMinLength”: 1
}

I am just running curl -X POST 'http://localhost:4567/register/' and on the node I got the below
2019-07-29T15:36:52.272Z - debug: owner: undefined failed validation
2019-07-29T15:36:52.273Z - warn: Discarding operation for undefined because it failed validation.
2019-07-29T15:36:52.273Z - error: message=Requested subdomain operation is invalid., stack=Error: Requested subdomain operation is invalid.

Did you install the branch I linked?

If you don’t post a well-formed JSON body (per my example), then of course the request will fail – the registrar has no data on what name to register.
