BIND/named stoped working

Hello, I thought I got BIND to work, but it had stoped working again,

here is what happens when I start it with /etc/init.d/named start
[root@drachir ~]# /etc/init.d/named start
Starting named:
Error in named configuration:
/etc/named.conf:3: change directory to '/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/multidoc/edit' failed: file not found

/etc/named.conf:3: parsing failed

Any idea?

(btw, I am running Fedora 7 with the Perfect server guide)

 

Same problem here: fedora 6 I think. Where can I find that?
(Using ISPConfig 2.3.2)

 

If your running a chrooted bind, that line will not work unless the file is in the jail with the bind data files. It's weird too because I don't have that line in my named.conf Are you also running 2.3.2 Richard?

 

Take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11207

 

I am running this one: ISPConfig-2.2.14.tar.gz

btw, about the files not in the chroot does make sense, will it be secure if I add a symbolic link to the external conf files, or will it just make things worse?

[EDIT]
added a symbolic link to the edit folder, and editted the named.conf file correctly, but it still wouldnt work...

any idea?

 

Thanks, that I read that link a little more carefully, and solved the directory problem, but a new problem arised:

Code:

[root@drachir etc]# /etc/init.d/named start
Starting named:
Error in named configuration:
zone 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 42
zone 138.234.84.in-addr.arpa/IN: loading from master file pri.138.234.84.in-addr.arpa failed: file not found
_default/138.234.84.in-addr.arpa/IN: file not found
zone drachir.no/IN: NS 'www.drachir.no' has no address records (A or AAAA)

                                                           [FAILED]

Any Idea?

 

What's in your named.conf? Does pri.138.234.84.in-addr.arpa exist?

 

this is the content of named.conf:

Code:

[root@drachir ~]# cat /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf
options {
        pid-file "/var/named/chroot/var/run/named/named.pid";
        directory "/var/named/chroot/var/named";
        auth-nxdomain no;
        /*
         * If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
         * to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source
         * directive below.  Previous versions of BIND always asked
         * questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged
         * port by default.
         */
        // query-source address * port 53;
};

//
// a caching only nameserver config
//
zone "." {
        type hint;
        file "named.ca";
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "named.local";
};

zone "138.234.84.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "pri.138.234.84.in-addr.arpa";
};


zone "drachir.no" {
        type master;
        file "pri.drachir.no";
};



//// MAKE MANUAL ENTRIES BELOW THIS LINE! ////

(pri.138.234.84.in-arpa.arpa does not exist)

 

And what are the outputs of

Code:

ls -la /var/named/chroot/var/named

and

Code:

updatedb
locate pri.138.234.84.in-addr.arpa

?

 

here is the results of ls -la /var/named/chroot/var/named:

Code:

[root@drachir ~]# ls -la /var/named/chroot/var/named/

and the results from locate pri.138.234.84.in-addr.arpa

Code:

[root@drachir ~]# locate pri.138.234.84.in-addr.arpa
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/multidoc/edit/pri.138.234.84.in-addr.arpa
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/multidoc/edit/pri.138.234.84.in-addr.arpa~

I hope this tell you more than it told me

 

Since it's looking for it in the /var/named/chroot/var/named/ directory, and it's not there, then I guess the problem is that it's not linked or at least where it's supposed to be. have you tried copying the file to /var/named/chroot/var/named ?

Code:

# cp /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/multidoc/edit/pri.138.234.84.in-addr.arpa /var/named/chroot/var/named/

And seeing if it loads? This isn't fixing the problem, but might get the DNS up until Till or Falko responds.

 

Thank you very much, that did it
