In the zone file you have given an A entry pointing to 192.168.0.233

and in named.conf you are using 192.168.0.1?

what is the ip of your machine?

and the answer to your solution is

In your named.rfc1912.zones and named.root.hints

there is a same entry of

you can check by this command
simply remove

from named.rfc1912.zones

NOTE: always take a backup of the original configuration file before taking any step

well i did as u said but i got the following error:

Starting named:

where have you copied all your zone files?


just lookout for all the zone files

it should be in

it is in /var/named/chroot/var/named/...

well the output is :


rw-r----- 1 root root 454 Oct 28 12:36 192.168.0.zone
drwxrwx--- 2 named named 4096 Aug 25 2004 data

-rw-r----- 1 root named 198 Feb 22 2011 localdomain.zone
-rw-r----- 1 root named 195 Feb 22 2011 localhost.zone
-rw-r----- 1 root named 427 Feb 22 2011 named.broadcast

-rw-r----- 1 root named 427 Feb 22 2011 named.zero
drwxrwx--- 2 named named 4096 Jul 27 2004 slaves

checkout the names of the missing files as you can see the mentioned files are missing so look for them in your machine

I don't think named.conf should ask for all these files
Just to make sure
have you copied and restart the server
hopefully this should work

ya named.caching-nameserver was copied from before only but what do you want me to copy from /usr/share/doc/bind-9.3.6 /sample/var/named/slaves because in that directory it has the following:

arm CHANGES COPYRIGHT misc README README.DBUS sample

Thanks..

and the files which are missing as per the output above i.e my.internal.zone.db and my.external.zone.db are present in /usr/share/doc/bind-9.3.6/sample/var/named/ but not in the /var/named/chroot/var/named/,so should i copy it there?

Of all the bind I have configured my.internal.zone.db and my.external.zone.db were located under slaves directory.

any how I think you know what to do

oh k k...Thanks..

well i copied everything but still then when i start or even restart it says named failed though it does not give the previous errors..

with no errors?

ya with no errors,it just said FAILED...

check /var/log/messages
