Problem with The Perfect Setup for Ubuntu 7.04

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I have a buddy breathing down my neck to get this server up, and I figure that if 6 goes smoothly, I can spend some time researching how to upgrade to 7. I just need to get this server up.

 

Then I'd recommend installing 6.1 now, and worry about 7.04 later.

In the mean time... Falko -- do you have any idea why the 7.04 installation breaks on this point? We need your wisdom.

 

I found when I get in the VI go to the last line (or the line you want to change) and hit "Insert" to add a line or "Insert" "Enter" to create a new line.

 

At which point exactly? The network settings? What's the output of

Code:

cat /etc/network/interfaces

?

 

Perfect Ubuntu 7.04 server howto

That is interesting. My installation hangs also just after it begins running the install scripts. However, when I hit enter I get the login in prompt.

I also had problems installing the apps (kernel headers) but I believe that there was a resolution in the forum for this.

Now, I get to chrooting Bind, and after completing that portion of the tutorial, I go to restart Bind and it fails.

Anyone .. have any ideas? I did notice that when restarting bind it is referred to as bind9. However, when I look back at the part of the tutorial, it is referenced only as "bind" and not bind9. Can this be the problem as to why bind will not restart?

 

Any error messages when you restart BIND? Any errors in your logs?

 

Problems with Perfect ubuntu server

I am not close to the server but when I get there I will take a look at the log and post it.

Just drives me nuts ... most especially since the step by step instructions are right in front of me. I looked for typos, but did not find any and then I retyped the command very slowly just in case I made an error. The outcome is the same. That when I go to restart Bind it Fails.

 

Here is syslog for my server ..

Falko,

Here is my syslog. Hope that it offers you some kind of idea of what is going on with my installation and current configuration.

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

What's in /etc/bind/named.conf.options?

 

He is /etc/bind/named.conf.options

[email protected]:/home/roni# cd /etc/bind
[email protected]:/etc/bind# less named.conf.options
// };

auth-nxdomain no; # conform to RFC1035

// If your name server is only listening on 127.0.0.1, consider:

};

(END)


Again thanks for any info that will set me on the right track.

 

Is that the whole file? What's the output of

Code:

cat /etc/bind/named.conf.options

?

What's the output of

Code:

ls -la /var/cache/bind

?

 

Hi! I've the same problem like gobetno. I did the commands and reasult the same like gobetno.

So the result of the ls -la /var/cache/bind is:

[email protected]:/home/administrator# ls -la /var/cache/bind/
total 8
drwxrwxr-x 2 root bind 4096 2007-07-31 00:18 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 2007-07-30 23:54 ..

Thanx for reply

 

And do you also have this in your logs?

A solution might be to run

Code:

chown bind /var/cache/bind
