DNS - named will not start ??

This is definitely wrong.

Your /var/named folder has wrong permissions. Please run

Code:

chmod 755 /var/named/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/named/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/run/
chmod 777 /var/named/chroot/var/run/named/
cd /var/named/chroot/var/named/
ln -s ../../ chroot
chkconfig --levels 235 named on
/etc/init.d/named start

and change the value back to /var/named/chroot/var/named in ISPConfig.

 

Hi guys

Thankyou for you assistance i have solved the peoblem and the bind dns is up and running again....

Hi Guys,

I just got a email from root and it says this...

Just wondering what this meant it seems its the port used for webadmin..

regards
brainz

 

You can switch off the monitoring for port 10000 in ISPConfig under Management -> Server -> Services -> Monitoring (if you don't have webmin installed or don't want to monitor it).

 

is any site in there

You have to put some site into DNS manager or DNS serverwill not start.. (just after installation of ISPC for example)

 

I have the same problem as the guy in this thread did, I have tried everything but still get this message

[root@drake named]# /etc/init.d/named restart
Stopping named: [FAILED]
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

I have changed the Zonefile directory to
/var/named/chroot/var/named

waited 1-2 min and everything but I still get that message.

 

Fixed it by overwriting the whole directory from a backup

 

Could be, but I redid the permissions following the perfect setup and it still wasnt working.

 

When I change it to: /var/named/chroot/var/named where the same files are as in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/multidoc/edit: ISPConfig automaticly changes to /etc/named and the error is still the same.

 

I am having the same problems, the fix in named.conf gets reverted after a few minutes

 

A very funny thing is that I don't have a /etc/named.conf. Altough the start says I have?!

Code:

[root@xara ~]# /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
                                                           [FAILED]

 

(named is in a chroote'd envirement, wich means named.conf is located at /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf)

 

Richard, double check the template files for ISPConfig and make sure it isn't boffed there. Also check the settings in the control panel. Log in as admin, management, server, settings, then click on the DNS tab.

 

Thanks, that worked just fine

 

What's the output of

Code:

updatedb
locate named.conf

?

 

This is the output of my "locate named.conf":

[root@res ~]# locate named.conf
/usr/share/man/man5/named.conf.5.gz
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/multidoc/edit/named.conf
/root/ispconfig/isp/conf/named.conf.master
/var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf
/var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf.rpmsave
/etc/named.conf
/etc/named.conf~
/etc/named.conf.old
/etc/log.d/conf/services/named.conf

And, yes, I'm having this issue too.

 

What's in /etc/named.conf?

 

options {
pid-file "/var/named/chroot/var/run/named/named.pid";
directory "/var/named/chroot/var/named";
auth-nxdomain no;

I seem to have fixed it though. Thanks a mil for getting back.

 

I've also had this issue of Bind failing today with:

/etc/named.conf:3: change directory to '/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/multidoc/edit' failed: file not found

/etc/named.conf:3: parsing failed

I changed the server setting in ISPConfig from:

/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/multidoc/edit

to:

/var/named/chroot/var/named

but still got the error until I noticed that named.conf still had the reference to the original location near the top of the file. Once this was manually changed to the new location everything was fine.

I'm wondering what had caused the issue after 3 months of trouble free operation ..... I had made two system changes today:

i) added 4 additional ip addresses to eth0 + ISPConfig
ii) added a SSL certificate to a site on the 'base' ip address

Thanks to all for an excellent piece of open source software and committed support!
