Search Again: Re: 4.6 on OS X 10.3 Server From: Men & Mice Support Date: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 Time: 12:06:08 pm Make sure that /etc/named.conf is the correct version - it should have a comment at the top that looks like this: // This file was generated by QuickDNS from Men & Mice If not, look for other files with names starting with "named.conf" in the /etc directory that are the correct one. Once you've found it, rename it to named.conf. If that's not the problem, or if you still have problems after fixing that, then try this command as root: /usr/sbin/qdnsremoted -debug -ll5 Does it give an error message? ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice Customer Support Specialist Making DNS Easy At 3:56 PM +0000 12/17/03, Paul Willis wrote: >Hi > >We were running QDNS 4.5.1 on two separate Mac OS X 10.2.x Servers. >323 zones and everything was fine. > >I upgraded one of the servers (primary) to OS X 10.3.1 Panther >Server.
