Problem with named (DNS)

red · January 27, 2004

Would anyone have any idea why I cannot get the "named" service to shutdown and restart.

I have tried to uninsall and reinstall but still get the same error. a second attempt at uninstall/reinstall indicates grep nis needed, but grep IS installed.

This is my debug info from trying to restart named.

Webmin indicates that the status of named is unknown and cannot restart ot shut it down. Drak config shows it is running but it is not doing anything.

Thanks for the help.

Your debug output shows that it restarts successfully. You must have it configured improperly and that is why it "isn't doing anything".

Thanks,

I am concerned with the indicated failure on the shutdown of the service before it is restarted and the fact that Webmin does not know for certain if it is running, and that Mandrake Dontrol Center indicates it is.

Also, since then I have again attempted to uninstall and re-install the BIND and name-caching server and receive errors that grep is needed. Grep is installed! Any thoughts on how to get this reinstalled?

Also, if uninstalling BIND leaves any files behind, what files should I manually delete if any to be sure a bad file is not being left behind somewhere and causing a problem.

Thanks,

RED

Well,

A bit more information.

Appearantly even though the "named" service indicates it has started OK, it is not.

A. Running nslookup from a client machine indicates no response from the server.

B. Bind configuration section of Webmin still shows "Start Name Server" instead of "Apply Changes" as it did when functioning.

I ask again..can anyone point me in the right direction with "default" or "as installed" files that may assist in getting this back up and running?

Thanks,

RED

This is really long, so in the interest of space, I will link to the output:

Thanks.

uninstalled using mandrake CP.

checked all files and deleted those that were not deleted by the uninstall.

reboot

reinstall.

All symptoms the same, still no response from server with nslookup and restart command still indicates the exact same failure when stopping the service and OK to its restart.

Still getting error that grep in needed for re install of name-caching server. Could this somehow be linked to the shutdown of the "named" service?

also, I used to have 2 bind icons in webmin bind 4 and bind 8. Now I only have bind 8, though I never did anything with the configuration of the bind 4.

Additional thoughts welcome.

thanks
