ipsconfig3 on Lenny how-to troubles | myDNS

tomdavidson · Nov 7, 2009

hi, i followed this how-to and ran in to a few hang ups:
http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-debian-lenny-ispconfig3

1) There is no /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd to restart. I do not know the impact of this.

2) MyDNS does not start with /etc/init.d/mydns start.

It does not produce an error, but after running /etc/init.d/mydns start and than looking at netstat, there is no mydns.

I can start mydns via /usr/local/sbin/ ./mydns but have some errors

tom@i:/usr/local/sbin$ ./mydns
mydns[17794]: error loading gid for group `nobody'
mydns[17794]: using gid 65534 from user `nobody'
mydns[17794]: Error connecting to MySQL server at localhost: Access denied for user 'username'@'localhost' (using password: YES) (errno=0)

Does mydns need additional config not described in the tutorial?

Plesae proceed with the setup. ISPConfig will reconfigure mydns while you run the ispconfig installer.

Hi Till, thanks for the reply:
I did complete the process. It was not until seeing the monitor warning in the ISPConfig3 interface that I realized myDNS has a problem.

Perhaps the installer did not configure myDNS on my install?

I had the error about /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd too installing on Debian 5.0 too.

I assumed that it's no problem because we didn't need any inetd services anyway.

Is it worth making a note in the install doc that if there is an error when starting openbsd-inetd, ignore it?

Many thanks,

Chris
