Hi

Im running Bind 8 on a old Redhat 7.2 sytem. I havnt had it going in awhile but know when i did DNS (primary) was working for my domain name

Now when i am starting or at least trying to start it, it fails. Logfile indicates this

Jan 19 22:30:32 Echelon named[2208]: /etc/named.conf:24: unknown option 'zone'
Jan 19 22:30:32 Echelon named[2208]: /etc/named.conf:39: unknown option 'logging'
Jan 19 22:30:32 Echelon named[2208]: /etc/named.conf:62: unknown option 'zone'
Jan 19 22:30:32 Echelon named[2208]: loading configuration: failure
Jan 19 22:30:32 Echelon named[2208]: exiting (due to fatal error)

Now my named.conf file is formatted as follows. Ill just show line 24

options {
directory "/var/named";
recursion yes; // the default
zone "eziekiel.com" {
allow-query { any;
};

Does anything obvious stick out with how this is set

Cheers

Andrew

Erm, yes it's just totally invalid. the zone defintion is seperate to the options block, which has not been closed and it clearly very incomplete.

Nothing to do with Networking. Moved to Linux - Server.

Can u point me to information on how to setup a named.conf file

Strange how this was working 6 months ago when machine was last on

Here is another line that is now saying is wrong

};
logging {
channel my_syslog {
file "/var/log/named.log" versions 3 size 5m;
severity debug ;

Line 39 unknown option
