ISPConfig Bind offline

[bobwdn]

As requested, I did:

nrobert@web02:~$ sudo chmod 755 /var/lib/named/etc/bind
[sudo] password for nrobert:

Then I did:

nrobert@web02:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 restart
* Stopping domain name service... bind rndc: connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953: connection refused
[fail]
* Starting domain name service... bind [fail]

I also tried:

nrobert@web02:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 stop
* Stopping domain name service... bind rndc: connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953: connection refused
[fail]

Next . . . . . .

Had a few days to think about the setup configuration I have installed.

To better "fit" my situation, I had to use (in combination) two howto's. Those being "How To Run Your Own Name Server With ISPConfig And providerdomain.de" and How To Run Your Own Name Servers With ISPConfig And GoDaddy."

Prior to initiating this Bind configuration, Bind tested as working, so it must be something within these howto's.

I will return to my setup notes and try to determine if this is caused by my human error.

However, if anyone comes up with an idea or suggestion, please post it.

Unfortunately I don't know what it is , but I know that these tutorials work for me.

[bobwdn]

First, Falko, thank you for all your help. I really appreciate it.

As I see this I am left with no other alternative than to rebuild the software in this computer. And as it is my first attempt, I see this all as part of learning about Linux.

(I really believe that it is something I may have inadvertently configured incorrectly and my inexperience does not allow me to locate that error.)

So, to conclude, I am actually looking forward to "doing it again." Yes, extra work, but I learn something every time.

Once again, thanks for your help.

To get the best results, I'd connect to the server with an SSH client like PuTTY and then copy & paste the commands from the tutorial (except the parts where you should place your own passwords, hostnames, etc.).

[bobwdn]

To all,

I do not and will never figure out exactly what was wrong but, re-installing the software went well.

(And yes, Falko, I cut and paste the instructions as your suggested. That way I do not miss any forward slashes.)

Second time works like a charm, again, thanks.

I have a DNS, bind question I will be starting a new thread about (in a few minutes.)

Please consider this issue closed. And thanks again.

I have the same problem. I also followed the tutorials dns with godaddy.com.
In my case if I add only the master dns server, bind works as expected. However, when I add the slave DNS as described in the tutorial bind fails to start.
I should mention that I am using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS with ISPconfig2 SVN version and I am trying to use the same ip address for both master and slave DNS.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

[falko]

So master and slave are on the same box?

[megabitdragon]

You are absolutely right. Both the master and slave DNS as well as the webserver are on the same box .

[falko]

Then all you have to do is set up a master zone, but no slave. A slave makes no sense in this case.
