How do you reset a nameserver? about namedmanager HOT 2 OPEN

Not sure what you were trying to achieve here at line 114 in namedmanager_bind_configwriter.php
but this fixes the issue:
Change if (!$config_version = $obj_bind_api->check_update_version()) to if (!$config_version == $obj_bind_api->check_update_version()) (note the ==, $config_version didn't seem to be defined elsewhere?)

At least now it writes the named.namedmanager.conf file on each execution..

UPDATE
The server remained as "status_unsynched" even though it was actually synched, probably because of I reset the api_sync_config earlier - not sure, reverted the change in line 114, re-added the nameserver and it seems to work again, although I'm still looking for how to reset/resume the nameserver properly @jethrocarr

from namedmanager.

This seems to be the fix in the database:
UPDATE name_servers SET api_sync_config=1 WHERE server_name='<NAMESERVER NAME>';

from namedmanager.
