Search Again: Re: Upgrade to OS 10.2 wiped out my records. From: Men & Mice Support Date: Sunday, September 29, 2002 Time: 8:55:58 pm Some of our users have reported that when upgrading their DNS servers to MacOS 10.2, all zones seem to disappear from the server. The reason for this is that the MacOS 10.2 installer installs a copy of BIND on the machine, and replaces one of the QuickDNS configuration files with its own. To fix this, you must use the Terminal to remove the files installed by Apple, restore the QuickDNS configuration file and restart the QuickDNS server, as described below. * Log onto your server machine using an account with Administrator privileges * Launch the Terminal application (In /Applications/Utilities) * Type: head -2 /etc/named.conf.applesaved This should print out: // // This file was generated by QuickDNS from Men & Mice * Then type: head -4 /etc/named.conf This should print out: // Declares control channels to be used by the rndc utility. // // This must be enabled on Mac OS X Server for Server Status to provide valid // information! (Remove the leading slashes to enable.) * If the output from either of these commands is not identical to the above, DO NOT PROCEED! Contact Men & Mice Tech Support for assistance. * Type: sudo tcsh * Enter your password when prompted * Type: mv /etc/named.conf /etc/named.menandmicesaved mv /etc/named.conf.applesaved /etc/named.conf /usr/sbin/qdnscontrol stopnamed /usr/sbin/qdnscontrol startnamed /usr/sbin/qdnscontrol stopremoted /usr/sbin/qdnscontrol startremoted rm -f /var/named/localhost.zone rm -f /var/named/named.ca rm -f /var/named/named.local exit That's it! The server should be back on its feet. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy At 1:39 PM -0700 9/29/02, Roland Dumas wrote: >had QDNS 4.0 running on mac server 10.1.5; just upgraded the server >and my records are no where to be found.
