From: Men & Mice Support Date: Monday, November 4, 2002 Time: 12:02:04 pm The following message was posted to QuickDNS Talk on August 26th by one of our engineers: ____________________________________________________________________ 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 stop /usr/sbin/qdnscontrol start 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. If you are logged in through QuickDNS Manager, you need to restart it to see your zones. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy At 2:01 PM -0500 11/4/02, Ryan Salazar wrote: >Hey, > >This weekend I upgraded my 10.1.3 machines to Jaguar and now my DNS >Servers aren't functioning.
