I've just installed the Master DNS. I did do what the comments said when I started the install with making the directory /var/lib/named/var/run/bind/run The permissions on that directory are right, as well as the "-u bind -t /var/lib/named" in /etc/init.d/bind9 It was working, I've restarted, double and triple checked everything. Can someone help before I throw the thing out the window.
Yes, I'm using Debian 3.1, not Ubuntu or anything. It seems to work, then when I try adding things to the config, it starts doing it again, after removing the lines I just added, and then restarting it again, it gives the same errors. It gives the error if I stop or restart, yet it's fine if it just starts.
After Regenerating the rndc key and changing named.conf to reflect it. Also, looking in the /etc/init.d/bind9 script, shouldn't the other values be changed to the right paths? Something like that? To say where the PID file is and to recreate the /var/run/bind/run directory again? I changed mine and it's seemed to have fixed it too. Just wondering if that could be the problem
I did have name breaks, just something was going weird and when I changed the other things in the init script they worked and I'm not having the problem as much. Could also mention in the How To to make use of 'named-checkconf' it's handy for identifying those errors someone might have.
