ISPConfig 3 - Fedora 14 - problems with DNS not working
 

Hi guys,

I have Fedora 14 running ISPConfig 3 and everything else runs smoothly except bind... When I first installed the system named would start and work. However about 3 days after I had the server online I received error messages in ISPConfig about the DNS-server not working.

I have previously set up named in a chroot environment but ISPConfig removed that in the installation. I haven't looked through exactly what they have done but obviously there are many ways in which to do the same thing.

If someone could please bring my attention to where I should start looking, that would be very much appreciated thank you.

Hi,

Well, start looking at the name server logs.

Sorry about the delay finishing up exams and the like...

Anyway I'm not proficient with Linux so could you please be more specific?

thanks

Hi,

You should take a look at bind (named) logs to find out what's wrong, or post the relevant parts here in order to get help. I'm not using ISPConfig, but I guess they are located under /var/log as usual (var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog etc)

Regards

Its fixed now...

In the tutorial it mentions installing bind and bind-utils but doesn't mention to remove the bind-chroot... This is the problem, as soon as I removed it named would start very happily, obviously the file location was wrong and unfortunately the logs don't mention that its being chrooted...

Problem solved, thanks
