[Opendnssec-user] Problem trying to run Signer Engine

Hi Paul,

I admit it is sort of a cryptic error message, but I think your zone has
lines in it with only spaces. That is encountered as a syntax error (It
reads spaces, thus taking the previous owner name and than there is
nothing else to parse on that line).

Either removing the 'empty' lines or flattening the zone down with
ldns-readzone <zonefile> should work.

Best regards,

Matthijs Mekking

So, I'm thinking that the warning " Warning: Syntax error, could not
parse the RR's TTL" is the root cause.

Do you have any recommendations on how I can further troubleshoot this
issue?

Can you provide me a sample zone file that you know should definitely
sign with no issues?
