Search Again: OT? Help... although might be OT with BIND... From: QuickDNS_Talk Date: Friday, September 7, 2001 Time: 2:26:15 am Help.... QDNS 3.5 under Redhat 7.1/bind 8.2.3 : bind (named) crashes ? I've just upgraded from using QDNS 3.5 on MacOS to running under Redhat7.1/bind 8.2.3. The upgrade went smoothly - I just did the Export/Import thinggy with QDNS Manager and bingo, had a new DNS server. I shutdown the old MacOS box, shuffled the new box's IP to match the original box's IP, and away I went... ...for about ten minutes. Then it went pear-shaped. I restarted named on the server and it sprang to life. Ten minutes or so later, it happened again. A restart of named cured it again. Then again... etc... The log reports the following: --- 07-Sep-2001 10:18:33.965 default: notice: reloading nameserver 07-Sep-2001 10:18:33.966 parser: error: /etc/named.conf:7: couldn't open include file '/var/named/conf/options' 07-Sep-2001 10:18:33.966 parser: error: In '/var/named/conf/user_after' line 10 07-Sep-2001 10:18:33.967 parser: error: included from '/etc/named.conf' line 8 07-Sep-2001 10:18:33.967 parser: error: /var/named/conf/user_after:10: no options statement before first zone; using previous/default 07-Sep-2001 10:18:33.967 load: warning: db_load could not open: conf/root.hint: Permission denied 07-Sep-2001 10:18:33.970 parser: error: /etc/named.conf:9: couldn't open include file '/var/named/conf/zones' 07-Sep-2001 10:18:33.972 config: warning: re-establishing default options 07-Sep-2001 10:18:33.972 config: error: couldn't create pid file '/var/run/named.pid' 07-Sep-2001 10:18:33.972 default: info: Forwarding source address is [0.0.0.0].32804 --- Then it starts logging lines like the following, one for each domain we host (I've substituted 'somedomain.com'): --- 07-Sep-2001 10:18:33.972 config: notice: master zone "somedomain.com" (IN) removed --- What is going on? I'm assuming this is a BIND problem on my server, rather than a QDNS problem... so is technically OT for this list... but anyone any ideas? (Be gentle, I'm new(ish) to BIND...) Luckily, our secondary is running under OS X and is stable, so user's aren't affected dramatically when the new one keels over... but I need to find a fix obviously asap...
