    I noticed my Bind-server is off line. I just noticed it, so I'm not sure how it was broke or if it is. When I restart named, I get this message.

    Aug 15 08:29:19 server named: /etc/named.conf:5: change directory to '/var/named/chroot/var/named' failed: file not found
    Aug 15 08:29:19 server named:
    Aug 15 08:29:19 server named: /etc/named.conf:5: parsing failed

    Thanks for your help.

    Is the file /etc/named.conf there?

    Yes its there here are the contents:

    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 "111.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
    type master;
    file "pri.111.168.192.in-addr.arpa";
    };


    zone "cumuluseugene.com" {
    type master;
    file "pri.cumuluseugene.com";
    };

    I guess the directory /var/named/chroot/var/named is missing?

    Actually, it is there. Here are the contents:

    chroot localdomain.zone named.broadcast named.ip6.local named.zero pri.cumuluseugene.com slaves
    data localhost.zone named.ca named.local pri.111.168.192.in-addr.arpa pri.https:

    I think this has to do with the fact that your Bind is running chrooted. Maybe some symlink that's missing... :confused:

    Same Issue

    I have run into the same issue. It does seem to be a permissions issue with the chroot jail. No response from the poster, so if anyone has any information I would greatly appreciate your help.

    Thanks

    Successful Fix

    I ventured back to the manual. Although everything was done properly during the installation, for some reason the permissions set for Named did not stay. I simply chmod'd the directories as the guide instructed and Bind was working again.

    Do you have any errors in your log files or when you restart BIND?

    If you are working in a CHROOT'd environment you need to make sure that it has access to certain files outside that directory. At a guess I would say you need to make this directory available : /var/named/chroot/var/named
