Setting up a new server - Suse 11.1

Hi Guys
I am new to suse and embarking on a project to set up a working database server I have recently read the following tutorial at :- http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-opensuse-11.1 - and found it very helpful

However i have come across an issues at page 3, at 7 DNS Server,
After running
chkconfig --add named
returns
# unknown

Any idea what i have done wrong?

Can you help please?

Server being setup is
PIII, 2 Ethernet Cards, Sound Card HDD,40GB sorry cannot find out at present what the system spec says is the full spec of the server.

I have Tried
/sbin/lspci

 

Did

Code:

yast2 -i bind bind-chrootenv bind-devel bind-utils

show any errors?
What's in /etc/init.d/named?

 

Can you post the output of

Code:

ls -la /etc/init.d/

?

 

Hi Falko
I have ran the command but unable to save it, for upload.

I have tried the following to save the output to a floppy without any joy

Inserted formated Floppy (Msdos)

#mdir a:
dir for A
No files

check disk empty

#mcopy /etc/init.d a:/etc/init.d
no such file or dir

I have tried to mount this also was unsuccessfull

#mount /dev/fdo/mnt/floppy
cant find

Help please.


Ok at last i have been able to access the server - using wrong port no.


Please find as requested results

Sorry for the delay

 

/etc/init.d/named doesn't exist. Did you maybe accidentally delete it?

 

No, I have followed the examples.

What do i do now - start all over again?

 

OK! got the message. Reinstall.

I have started again an lo an behold things have progressed further for me. Yes.

1. However have run into a few more issues at the telnet section :-
# telnet 127.0.0.0
Trying 127.0.0.0...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.0: Connection refused

continued with install

2. I have now had to stop at Page 5 - 11 Apache = PHP 5
first section ran ok.
second section only the first command ran all the other 6 commands in this seq. returned the following:-

# yast2 -i apache2 apache2-devel apache2-mod_perl apache2-mod_php5 apache2-prefork perl-HTML-Parser perl-HTML-Tagset perl-Tie-IxHash perl-URI perl-libwww-perl php5 php5-devel zlib zlib-devel

-bash: php5-zlib: command not found
#
It looks bad yet again - such a straightforward install giving me a head bashing time.

But we learn from our mistakes - any idea what i have missed this time?

Dont think it wise going on any further,Ill wait a reply.
Thanks

 

This should all be on the same line:
yast2 -i php5-bcmath php5-bz2 php5-calendar php5-ctype php5-curl php5-dbase php5-dom php5-ftp php5-gd php5-gettext php5-gmp php5-iconv php5-imap php5-ldap php5-mbstring php5-mcrypt php5-mysql php5-ncurses php5-odbc php5-openssl php5-pcntl php5-pgsql php5-posix php5-shmop php5-snmp php5-soap php5-sockets php5-sqlite php5-sysvsem php5-tokenizer php5-wddx php5-xmlrpc php5-xsl php5-zlib php5-exif php5-fastcgi php5-pear php5-sysvmsg php5-sysvshm ImageMagick curl

 

It's

Code:

telnet 127.0.0.1 25

BTW, you can connect to the server with an SSH client such as PuTTY. With PuTTY, you can simply copy&paste all commands from the tutorial.

 

Many Thank for that - just did not see it.

 

Ok. Thanks.

I have started again and been halted at the same place details are as follows:-
# cd /etc/postfix/ssl
:/etc/postfix/ssl # vi /etc/postfix/master.cf
:/etc/postfix/ssl # /etc/init.d/postfix restart
Shutting down mail service (Postfix) done
Starting mail service (Postfix) done
:/etc/postfix/ssl # telnet localhost 25
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused

 

Any errors in your mail log?

 

Ok. continuing.
Got this far not sure what has gone wrong.

Starting SuSEconfig, the SuSE Configuration Tool...
Running in full featured mode.

I have done the following, this is the result

# /var/log/mail
-bash: /var/log/mail: Permission denied

is this the wrong command? or have i set it up wrong thus far.

 

Use

Code:

vi /var/log/mail

or

Code:

cat /var/log/mail

To check the last 100 lines, you can use

Code:

tail -n100 /var/log/mail

 

Thanks for that

I have ran the following commands and her are the results:-

xxxxxx:~ # /var/log/mail
-bash: /var/log/mail: Permission denied
