bind problem
 

I use RedHat9
I configured bind with "Bind Configuration tools". Then I typed the command "service named start". It's OK, but after that I can't stop the named. If I type the command "service named stop" the answer is :
rndc: connect failed: connection refused
What is the problem?

remove bind
 

How can I remove bind?

try

ps -C named

Perhaps named is not running.

Check /var/log/messages to ascertain why named failed to start.

If you want to remove the bind package,

rpm -e bind.

If you simply want to stop it, ... you have reposted

When I typed the command "ps -C named" the answer is "PID TTY TIME CMD". What does it mean?

It means named is not running.

/var/log/messages will have the reasons why named failed to start.

You can also use

#service named status

to check whether named is running.

I can't stop the named
 

I installed and configured the named and I started it. Then I went to the var/log/messages and saw the logs.

Part of var/log/messages

It seem to me that the named works fine, but if I want to stop it (service named stop), I can't.
After that the var/log/message file:




Jul 22 07:48:39 opstina named[2710]: app.c:561: unexpected error:
Jul 22 07:48:39 opstina named[2710]: isc_app_shutdown() pthread_kill: No such process





why can't I stop the named?

Did you used the service command to start it?

I started it with command "service named start".

if you enter "ps ax|grep named", do you see any program named running?

If I enter the command above the answer is:

2750 ? S 0:00 [named]
2834 ? S 0:00 kdeinit: kwrite /etc/named.conf
2862 ? S 0:00 kdeinit: kwrite /etc/named.conf
2940 pts/1 S 0:00 grep named


What does it mean?

Ok,
the first is one thread of named running. The second and third, you are editing named.conf with kwrite. The last is the command grep, which we used to get only the processes which have "named" in the command line. Are you working for a service provider or you have a office/home network connected to internet? If your answer is the second I suggest you to use dnsmasq instead of named. Its configuration is astonishingly easy.
Relating to "service named stop", maybe there was some configuration error or there is an script error (service is a script which calls another script, in your case "/etc/init.d/named").

you can try

#kill -9 `pidof named`

pidof returns the pid (process id) of named.

Better than this
