Hello,

I am very new to bind. I got it set up and "working" in terms of installing and configuration for the over all bind to work. The problem started when I made a zone file for the domain name aevtech.com

This is the error I get when I start bind:

Code:

Error in named configuration:

dns_rdata_fromtext: aevtech.com.db:15: near 'aevtech.com.': not a valid number

zone aevtech.com/IN: loading from master file aevtech.com.db failed: not a valid number

zone aevtech.com/IN: not loaded due to errors.

_default/aevtech.com/IN: not a valid number

zone 70.98.65.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 2013071600

zone localhost/IN: loaded serial 0

zone 1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 0

zone 0.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 0

I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what to fix and I just can't figure it out for the life of me. I googled and read and looked but still the same error. Here is the zone file for aevtech.com

Location: /var/named/aevtech.com.db

Code:

[root@server ~]# cat /var/named/aevtech.com.db 

$TTL 3600

The upsetting part is I bet it is something very simple that I'm sure I'm missing that if RIGHT in front of my face but that's what comes with the learning process! Thank you in advanced for any and all help!

you don't have a priority for the MX:

http://dnsdb.cit.cornell.edu/explain_mx.html

That localhost entry should'nt be in there.

Hello,

Bind started working normally!! Thank you for your help. But, it seems like I have another error now. I checked the log in /var/log/messages and see this:

Last time I seen something like this I was told something was being blocked? That was a while ago and I don't remember what it was to fix this.

what does the actual config look like?

Hello,

I actually figure it out. In the configuration, there is a section in the beginning that looks like this:

allow-query { any; }; <------ Before, this was blank and I set it to any;

listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; }; <------ Also had to change this and add any; as well listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; any; };

Once I did this, everything started working the way it should of. Thank you for your help!!!
