named - /etc/named.conf.local: file not found

[sjswarts]

Hi guys

I also have ispconfig 3 running and the DNS all of a sudden couldn't find the named.conf.local which should be in the /etc/ directory.

However looking there it is there along with named.conf then named.conf.local but it just can't open it.

In named.conf it states:

include "/etc/named.conf.local";

which seems right but upon trying to start it, the error comes out as unable to start:


Starting named:
Error in named configuration:
/etc/named.conf:47: open: /etc/named.conf.local: file not found
[FAILED]

I have created a zone in ISPConfig 3 and I've tried deleting it and remaking it and nothing helps.

Thanks for your time

Which distribution do you use? Which tutorial (URL) did you use to set up the system?

I used ISPConfig3 for fedora 14.... http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...ispconfig-3-p6

/etc/named.conf contains this (extract)
...
include "/etc/named.conf.local";
...

/etc/named.conf.local contains this
...
zone "example.com" {
type master;
allow-transfer {none;};
file "/var/named/pri.example.com";
};
...

the permissions on named.conf.local are 660 with root being owner and named being group

I have just read this post:

http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/sho...t=47105&page=4

and that told me a critical piece of info:

ISPConfig 3 - Perfect Server Fedora 14
remove chroot-bind

as soon as I did that it obviously started looking in /etc/ directory as opposed to /var/named/chroot/etc/

so problem solved for me at least

thanks to above post, very helpful

Hi guys, I have the exact same issue, but the named.conf.local file does exist exactly where its listed on the named.conf file.

Jul 10 13:28:35 NServ1 named: /etc/named.conf:46: open: /etc/named.conf.local: file not found
Jul 10 13:28:35 NServ1 systemd[1]: named.service: control process exited, code=exited status=2
Jul 10 13:28:35 NServ1 systemd[1]: Unit named.service entered failed state.


The named.conf.local file does list all the zones that I imported too.


NM, Stupid zone file I imported was the problem, learned not to edit the file while ISPConfig web interface was active.
