DNS How To - db file permissions?

[chris.zeman]

I configured BIND9 according to the How-To, and nothing seems to be working. I logged into Webmin and attempted to edit the files through it, and it doesn't open the files. Webmin doesn't seem to show the files as containing any records. Could this be a file permission problem?

Thanks!
Chris

Oops....not file permissions, file locations! I have a chrooted BIND9 installation. I'd be real happy if I could figure out why pinging my domain still doesn't work. It still resolves to the WAN IP.

Is your BIND server authoritative for your domain? You can check with

dig ns yourdomain.com

If it is: it can take up to 72 hours until your changes propagate. In the meantime you can check your new records like this:

dig @<ip_of_bind_server> yourdomain.com
