Hi! Great awesome tutorials.. I am doing the Centos 5.6 install on a Centos 5.6 i386 box. I have had a variety of bumps as I go through them, but the first one I cannot solve is this: the chrooted bind will just not start. here is my output when running "/etc/init.d/named start" Code: Starting Named: Error in named configuration: /var/named/chroot/var/named/named.local 1: unknown option '$ttl' /var/named/chroot/var/named/named.local 3: unknown option 'Serial' /var/named/chroot/var/named/named.local 4: unknown option 'Refresh' /var/named/chroot/var/named/named.local 5: unknown option 'Retry' /var/named/chroot/var/named/named.local 6: unknown option 'Expire' /var/named/chroot/var/named/named.local 7: unknown option 'Minimum' /etc/named.conf:30: unexpected token near end of file [ FAILED ]
same error I have same error, please help. I test and quit the comments in /var/named/chrooot/var/named/named.local but the error in $ttl appears
javamacion, I actually never succeeded in finishing the tutorial. I got Bind to run non CHROOT, then i experimented a bit with ISPCONFIG.. I actually just formatted my Centos machine and reinstlaled stock centos.. I am going to be doing the whole tutorial again. I went to #bind on... Whatever IRC network they use... And was thoroughly belittled by the people there...Then I read about 100 pages from a O'Rielly book about Bind... It appears there are probably problems with the location of the example files the tutorial has us edit.. And then also problems within those example files...
this is the tutorial link i'm doing, when I install bind-Chroot and run is the error http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-5.6-x86_64-ispconfig-3-p5 in /var/named/chroot/var/named/named.local appears the error Code: Starting Named: Error in named configuration: /var/named/chroot/var/named/named.local 1: unknown option '$ttl' /var/named/chroot/var/named/named.local 3: unknown option 'Serial' /var/named/chroot/var/named/named.local 4: unknown option 'Refresh' /var/named/chroot/var/named/named.local 5: unknown option 'Retry' /var/named/chroot/var/named/named.local 6: unknown option 'Expire' /var/named/chroot/var/named/named.local 7: unknown option 'Minimum' /etc/named.conf:30: unexpected token near end of file I think it dont recognise the ";" comments.
Falko, I am now in the middle of re-doing the tutorial.. I am, as noted, doing the tutorial on a i386 pentium 4 based machine... I will post my experience here, along with any changes to the tutorial I make in order to get i386 packages installed.. Most of the tutorial is exactly the same, but there are a few packages that need to be i386.... One huge question I have is how BIND CHROOT works.. I have, for example, 5 static IPS available, and want to use two for dedicated name servers - but do not quite understand how IPCONFIG will be working once installed... Does it modify the BIND files to add more domain routings? Does it append a config file, what does it do? Thanks!
Hi falko, in /var/named/chroot/var/named/named.local is: Code: $TTL 86400 @ IN SOA ns1.sizne.com. root.localhost. ( 1997022700; 28800; 14400; 3600000; 86400); IN NS localhost. 1 IN PTR localhost. Thanks for your help
ISPConfig normally just writes to the named.conf.local files and adds/modifies/deletes the zone files referenced in named.conf.local.
@javamacion: Can you please open a new thread? This is too confusing if two people post their problems in one thread. Thanks!
Just as a reference if anyone else comes across this issue. If you follow the tutorial exactly as it states regarding the Bind setup then you will receive the stated error. To resolve the issue I ignored the error and continued with the installation. Once ISPConfig completed its installation it also reported that it was unable to start NAMED. I continued and add a website and the DNS for the new website. Once the DNS entries were created, ISPConfig corrected the issue itself by modify the contents of the named.local file to the correct values. It seems the issue lies with the default named.local file that is provided when installing BIND. Hope this helps someone.
