Ispconfig 3 Bind Verify

[jtullous]

Hello all,

I have configured a centos 5.5 following this guide but flipped it to i386:

http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...64-ispconfig-3

Everything seems to be working correctly to my knowledge. But have a question reguarding the Bind DNS.

I have just flip a domain to the name server of this server, removed all the records on that domain and made sure that port 53 is open. I also created the records in ISPConfig for this domain.

I know it takes time for it to find its home but is there anything I can do to make sure that I have set this Bind DNS up correctly?

I am new to the linux world so please be easy :P

Test the server locally:

dig localhost yourdomain.com

I see a the status is :SERVFAIL

Whats up with that?


[root@secure ~]# dig @localhost xxxx.com

; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2 <<>> @localhost xxxxx.com
; (1 server found)
;; global options: printcmd

Then your local server is not the authoritive nameserver for the domain deviontech.com. Please post a screenshot of the zone settings and the records tab of this zone.

A CName record can never point to an IP address. CNames point aleways to a domain. Delete the cname and replace it with a A-Record. Please post the zone tab too.

any suggestions

Double sorry

Till,

I got it working finally. In ISPConfig I found the server dns does not get update with the chroot information.

Record were being written in the wrong place.

Thanks for the help.

I have the exact same problem, where the BIND server fails utterly after a complete clean installation following this tutorial:
