any ideas


(i did touch /etc/mailname but i'm not sure of its supposed contents, so i decided to ask here....even though it think it should be{example.com})

 

actually i did do that step...
i'll copy /paste cmd again

aptitude install postfix postfix-mysql postfix-doc mysql-client mysql-server courier-authdaemon courier-authlib-mysql courier-pop courier-pop-ssl courier-imap courier-imap-ssl libsasl2-2 libsasl2-modules libsasl2-modules-sql sasl2-bin libpam-mysql openssl getmail4 rkhunter binutils maildrop

maybe i need to reconfigure postfix then..i'm gonna try that now

 

Please uninstall (purge) Postfix and then reinstall it.

 

ok i will do that but i did the dpkg-reconfigure and it seem fixed now.


my new problem is that when i <dig domaint.tld @serverip> i'm not getting any response, i checked /etc/bind/pri.domain.tld ad all seem to be fine. is there a reason for not using mydns?

Does

Code:

dig @localhost yourdomain.com

work?

What's in your named.conf and /etc/bind/pri.domain.tld?

 

# dig @localhost xxx.xxx.xx

# cat /etc/bind/named.conf
// This is the primary configuration file for the BIND DNS server named.

include "/etc/bind/named.conf.options";
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.local";
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones";

 

What's in /etc/bind/named.conf.options, /etc/bind/named.conf.local, and /etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones?

 

step 12: what if I picked "Yes" to directories?

Oooops... I think I screwed up step 12. I picked YES to the create directories question.
Is there a way to recover that or do I have to start over?

That's not important - you can go on with the tutorial.

 

actually i think i found the problem, the domain i tried to add was already being served by another provider it seem bind decides not to serve it as a result. This conclusion stems from me creating multiple other dns entries that it resolves, i then edit one of those that it responded for to reflect to one i needed and it resulted in it no responding to that query again.

could this be a untold(at least to me) feature of bind to not allow you to become authoritative for a domain that exist somewhere else?
(btw the domain in question will eventually be controlled by my servers, however before this is done my servers will need to be able to resolve for said domain, at this point my domain master will add my ns entries for said domain)

 

That'S how it's supposed to be. When you register a domain, you can tell the registrar which nameservers you want to use. These nameserver become the authoritative nameservers for the domain, and it makes no sense to create the zone on other nameservers.
