My DNS settings on ispconfig are: BIND User: named BIND Group: named Named.conf : /var/named/chroot/var/named/ Zonefiles Dir: /var/named/chroot/var/named/ The Output of ls -la /var/named/chroot/var/named is: Can anyone please give me some advice on this as I am now stuck! Any help will be greatly appreciated Thank-you John
What's in /etc/named.conf? What are the outputs of Code: ls -la /var/named/chroot/var/named and Code: chroot /var/named/chroot ls -la /var/named/chroot/var/named ?
Hi Falko Thanks for the reply I cannot find a file called named.conf in /etc/ Here are the other results: and
Can you post the outputs of Code: ls -la /var/named/ ls -la /var/named/chroot/ ls -la /var/named/chroot/var/ ls -la /var/named/chroot/var/named ?
Hi i think the error is in ispconfig setting -------------------------------you have: My DNS settings on ispconfig are: BIND User: named BIND Group: named Named.conf : /var/named/chroot/var/named/ Zonefiles Dir: /var/named/chroot/var/named/ ------------------------------------------------ the normal path is: Named.conf : /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf Zonefiles Dir: /var/named/chroot/var/named change and wait for 15 minutes+- and restart named. regards
had same problem the trouble seems to be that bind cannot parse zone file setup and so gives up. i had to make sure that the exact same zone files were present in the named directory as were in the bind server module in webmin o/wise it goes lame like this - the trouble started when i was setting up master zones tetc. thru webmin - so i deleted them and started again - then i realised that there were some zone files that had been created by ispconfig while i was testing it out - and webmin just reloaded them again ! i am not sure if these old files will still keep popping up but named is working sweet now anyway so i don't mind
Sorry if this is a stupid question but must I then delete the zones in webmin? root 10.10.1 127.0.0 There are to master zones setup in ispconfig. Thanks for the help John
possibly - i think the reason is that the ispconfig entries have to come first and any webmin stuff has to go below before you can named restart via shell:- //// MAKE MANUAL ENTRIES BELOW THIS LINE! //// in /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf check that this file matches your ispconfig setup and that you have all the corresponding zone files present in the zone dir using webmin and ispconfig alternately i think corrupts the file for either one ? if i remember correctly - as it was two days ago i was struggling with it - the next stage you can get to is something like:- [root@host ~]# /etc/init.d/named start Starting named: Error in named configuration: /etc/named.conf:3: change directory to '/var/named/chroot/var/named' failed: MISSING ZONE FILES /etc/named.conf:3: parsing failed [FAILED] this might mean that named conf is being parsed a little before it errors out ? you then just need to replace some zone files to match your config and then it will start - rather than the "failed: file not found" error you are getting i guess i just got lucky ?
