ISPConfig and named

Hi folks,

A few days ago I've an issue with a new domain, which is was on ISPConfig manager and site was not displaying, later I've check on named.conf and site was not listed and ask around and some one help me to add those records to my DNS and he told me named is not communicating with with ISPConf box.

Now my question is:

what I need to check to confirm that ISPConfig modify correctly system parameters, such as adding a new site.

Thank you

ISPConfig Version: 2.1.2
Linux Distro: FC4

 

Thank you for your reply Till, actually there is NO errors mostly INFO's and some WARNS!!

Am looking a named.conf and domain is not listed???

Thanks

 

Hi,

You find the file genered by ispconf in this folder
/var/lib/named/etc/bind

The master file
/root/ispconfig/isp/conf

restart named and show syslog for error
/etc/init.d/bind9 restart
cat /var/log/syslog

 

Hi!,

That path is not valid for my Distro, am using FC4..

Thanks

 

I use a Debain distrib

I don't now for your distrib

 

What's in your named.conf?
What's the value of Zonefiles Dir in Management -> Server -> Settings -> DNS?
Is SELinux disabled?

 

Hi Falko, Thank you for your reply:

In named.conf contains almost all my sites, except for last site that I've created.

Zonefiles Dir.: /etc/bind

I went over the server to see content of bind and I tried to listed and I can't find that file!!! should exist or is a hidden file??

SELinux is disable.

Thank you

 

Please do this:

Code:

yum install bind-chroot
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

as shown on http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_fedora_core_4_p3

Afterwards, fill in /var/named/chroot/var/named as the Zonefiles Dir in ISPConfig.

 

Thank you Falko,

I've followed your instructions and I got:

[root@morticia /]# yum install bind-chroot
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing package install arguments
Nothing to do
[root@morticia /]#

Other things we're ok then I got:

[root@morticia ~]# cd /var/named/chroot/var/named/
[root@morticia named]# ln -s ../../ chroot
ln: `chroot/..': cannot overwrite directory
[root@morticia named]#

other than that there is no problem also I've change path in ISPConfig.

Thenk I went to check site and still is not showing up!!

[root@morticia /]# dig universalcmd.com
