Hey everyone, Everything was going good untila after I updated to 2.2.14 version and now my dns is messed up. The following is there error code, # tail -f /var/log/messages Jul 19 04:57:12 ns1 named[30142]: starting BIND 9.3.3rc2 -u named -t /var/named/chroot Jul 19 04:57:12 ns1 named[30142]: found 2 CPUs, using 2 worker threads Jul 19 04:57:12 ns1 named[30142]: loading configuration from '/etc/named.conf' Jul 19 04:57:12 ns1 named[30142]: listening on IPv4 interface lo, 127.0.0.1#53 Jul 19 04:57:12 ns1 named[30142]: listening on IPv4 interface eth0, 209.223.47.66#53 Jul 19 04:57:12 ns1 named[30142]: listening on IPv4 interface eth0:0, 209.223.47.67#53 Jul 19 04:57:12 ns1 named[30142]: command channel listening on 127.0.0.1#953 Jul 19 04:57:12 ns1 named[30142]: command channel listening on ::1#953 Jul 19 04:57:12 ns1 named[30142]: couldn't open pid file '/var/run/bind/run/named.pid': No such file or directory Jul 19 04:57:12 ns1 named[30142]: exiting (due to early fatal error) Notice near the bottom it says No Such File or directory. How do I fix this please. Thank you in advance if I posted in advertantly I apologize but on my search I did not find anything on this. Thanks,
Is BIND running? What's the output of Code: netstat -tap ? If BIND is running, what's the output of Code: updatedb locate named.pid ?

It won't start without it. This is why I know it's not running: Jul 19 04:57:12 ns1 named[30142]: couldn't open pid file '/var/run/bind/run/named.pid': No such file or directory Jul 19 04:57:12 ns1 named[30142]: exiting (due to early fatal error) updatedb with locate name.pid returned to the prompt with no results. Not sure what happened here. Thanks for your help.
What's in your named.conf? What's the output of Code: ls -la /var/run/bind/run ? Which distribution do you use?
Dns Issue ls -la /var/run/bind/run ls: /var/run/bind/run: No such file or directory Wow where the hell did the directory go, not good dang it. which named.conf do you need to see? options { pid-file "/var/run/bind/run/named.pid"; <--------------- Here is where it is suppose to be. directory "{BINDDIR}"; auth-nxdomain no; allow-recursion { localhost; }; /* * If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want * to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source * directive below. Previous versions of BIND always asked * questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged * port by default. */ // query-source address * port 53; }; CentOS 5 is what I am using ......
Did you set up BIND exactly as shown on http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_centos5.0_p4 ? Anyway, please do this: Code: mkdir /var/run/bind/run Then start BIND. IF you still get errors, also try Code: mkdir /var/named/chroot/var/run/bind/run
