DNS Help

[blackreaf]

I have just installed Linux RedHat 9 and am trying to setup a DNS server for the first time. I can't seem to make things work. Any help would be great. I am running bind 9-2.0

Thanks

I can't seem to stop, start, or restart named. This is what I get when I try

[root@dns chroot-dns-int]# service named restart
[root@dns chroot-dns-int]#

And I have know Idea why it now has [root@dns chroot_dns-int]

It looks like your DNS is chroot'ed which complicates things a bit. The '[root@dns chroot_dns-int]' is because you're in the DNS servers directory.

Your command seems to work fine though. What doesn't work (to repeat Daniels question)??

I had this problem. I had built on dns server linux ver 8 and that worked fine no problems. Then when version 9 came out i decided to have this server handle all my outside dns stuff and when i started the services i had the same problems as you. After a couple of days of fooling around with problem i decided to go back to version 8 and that is where it is now. I think there is a bug with dns linux ver 9.

Thanks for all of your help. After I started over it was a peace of cake.

Thanks again
