I'm currently fixing some of our JavaScript code and noticed that I get the following flash-message error when attempting to save a DNS configuration:

Stdio error: : No such file or directory (os error 2):

This is being bubbled-up from somewhere deep in the bowels of peach-lib. It's quite difficult for me to determine exactly where it's coming from.

This error is obviously unhelpful when displayed in the web interface. We should ideally provide more context about what went wrong, as well as a tip(s) about how to fix it (or a link to the relevant trouble-shooting section in the guide).

I believe this situation has improved over the past few months of development. We should have further opportunities for improvement as PeachPub testers and full-time operators give their feedback.
