unable to start mydns-ng Centos 5.3

[rukus77]

Hello everyone,

I was having the axfr issue where everytime I would update ISPConfig, I would have to update database and change a few lines of code from Y,N to 1,etc...

Anyhow, I decided to try out mydns-ng so I removed mydns and installed ng. Install appeared to go fine, but I believe I need to setup my /etc/init.d/mydns file now. Is there a how to for this? Any guidance would be appreciated.

I tried using the original mydns file, but I cannot start the service.

The only way I can get mydns-ng to start is when I run mydns -v

Thanks,
Mike

You need a file in /etc/init.d. The installation is described in the perfect setup guide for ispconfig 3.

Hi Till, thanks for your reply. I followed Perfect setup, but it calls for mydns and not mydns-ng for Centos. There is no package for mydns-ng on Centos, so I installed;

./configure
make
make install

It is running fine and I tried using the /etc/init.d/mydns for mydns, but nothing happens when I try to start or stop. I do not get any errors or confirmation messages.

Any suggestions? I appreciate it.

Thanks,
Mike

You can use the mydns instructions from the debian guide to create the start script.

Hi Till, I tried that, but since commands are a little different between the two OS's, I get some errors...

This is what my config looks like in /etc/init.d/mydns. Do you see anything wrong with it?

Thanks,
Mike

I just noticed where I went wrong. Looks like I missed updating the path on this line.

Thanks for your assistance,

ok... and what should the line be? I can follow that the path is incorrect but I do not know what it should be. Please help.

What's the output of

which mydns

?

In my case, the path should be;

/usr/local/sbin/mydns
