named - /etc/named.conf.local: file not found

Hi
I installed ispconfig3 following instructions http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-fedora-14-x86_64-ispconfig-3

Everything looks fine except for the DNS server, it will not start.

I tried installing again but I unfortunately get get the exactly the same result.

This is the /etc/named.conf

Any ideas what could be wrong?

 

Can you replace the last line with

Code:

include "/var/named/chroot/var/named/named.local";

and restart BIND?

 

Hi falco and thank you for quick response.

I replaced the last line as you suggested.

 

Furthermore I can not find any file named "named.local" on the system

Im using Linux version 2.6.35.13-91.fc14.x86_64

 

I had not created a zone but now I have.
I changed the last line in the /etc/named.conf back to its original value. (it does not start if the value is "include "/var/named/chroot/var/named/named.local"
The named server now starts

• ispconfig3 - states the DNS is running
• service named status - states the DNS is running

...but

My firewall is disabled and Nmap does not see the named server on port 53.

 

Thank you till and falco.

I guess this is working now

Still.... shouldn't "named" on port 53 be visible in the list generated by Nmap?
Sorry for the question...I'm kind of a noob in this!

 

Thats it. Now it works great. Thanks guys!

 

Hi guys

I also have ispconfig 3 running and the DNS all of a sudden couldn't find the named.conf.local which should be in the /etc/ directory.

However looking there it is there along with named.conf then named.conf.local but it just can't open it.

In named.conf it states:

include "/etc/named.conf.local";

which seems right but upon trying to start it, the error comes out as unable to start:


Starting named:
Error in named configuration:
/etc/named.conf:47: open: /etc/named.conf.local: file not found
[FAILED]

I have created a zone in ISPConfig 3 and I've tried deleting it and remaking it and nothing helps.

Thanks for your time

 

bump people...
bump

 

hello IceVilli , I had install ISPconfig3,
/etc/init.d/named start
warning : named - /etc/named.conf.local: file not found
Could you tell me how to solve this warning !!
If
include "/var/named/named.localhost"; ??

 

Which distribution do you use? Which tutorial (URL) did you use to set up the system?

 

Stopping named: [ OK ]
Starting named:
Error in named configuration:
/etc/named.conf:46: open: /etc/named.conf.local: file not found
[FAILED]

I used ISPConfig3 for fedora 14.... http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-fedora-14-x86_64-ispconfig-3-p6

/etc/named.conf contains this (extract)
...
include "/etc/named.conf.local";
...

/etc/named.conf.local contains this
...
zone "example.com" {
type master;
allow-transfer {none;};
file "/var/named/pri.example.com";
};
...

the permissions on named.conf.local are 660 with root being owner and named being group

I have just read this post:

http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47105&page=4

and that told me a critical piece of info:

ISPConfig 3 - Perfect Server Fedora 14
remove chroot-bind

as soon as I did that it obviously started looking in /etc/ directory as opposed to /var/named/chroot/etc/

so problem solved for me at least

thanks to above post, very helpful

 

Hi guys, I have the exact same issue, but the named.conf.local file does exist exactly where its listed on the named.conf file.

Jul 10 13:28:35 NServ1 named: /etc/named.conf:46: open: /etc/named.conf.local: file not found
Jul 10 13:28:35 NServ1 systemd[1]: named.service: control process exited, code=exited status=2
Jul 10 13:28:35 NServ1 systemd[1]: Unit named.service entered failed state.


The named.conf.local file does list all the zones that I imported too.


NM, Stupid zone file I imported was the problem, learned not to edit the file while ISPConfig web interface was active.
