I added DNS zone in ISPConfig > DNS, but domain is not resolving. I checked /var/named file, i can see file with .err extension with the zone data. Code: [root@server named]# nslookup vps7.ovh 54.37.55.240 Server: 54.37.55.240 Address: 54.37.55.240#53 ** server can't find vps7.ovh.vps7.ovh: REFUSED [root@server named]# ls -la total 48 drwxr-x---. 6 root named 4096 Dec 6 16:04 . drwxr-xr-x. 23 root root 4096 Dec 6 00:23 .. drwxrwx---. 2 named named 4096 Dec 6 00:22 data drwxrwx---. 2 named named 4096 Nov 30 14:29 dynamic -rw-r-----. 1 root named 2281 May 22 2017 named.ca -rw-r-----. 1 root named 152 Dec 15 2009 named.empty -rw-r-----. 1 root named 152 Jun 21 2007 named.localhost -rw-r-----. 1 root named 168 Dec 15 2009 named.loopback -rw-r--r-- 1 named named 715 Dec 6 16:04 pri.hosthat.com.err -rw-r--r-- 1 named named 683 Dec 6 15:50 pri.vps7.ovh.err drwxrws---. 2 named named 4096 Dec 6 00:23 slave drwxrwx---. 2 named named 4096 Nov 30 14:29 slaves [root@server named]# Any idea why the zones are not creating ? Is there a log file where i can see the reason for creating zone file with .err extension ?
The zones you added are incomplete or contain failures and are therefore rejected by BIND and saved with .err file ending. You can find the reason for that in the syslog or use the named-checkzone command to get the detailed error.
Thanks. Got it working by adding A record for ns1 and ns2, this happens if the domain you adding is using name servers under same domain.
