Just installed Fedora Core 2 without Firewall & DHCP. Coz already have RH8 using the DHCP & IPTABLES features.

But when I try to start the simple (default setting when installing FC2) named, its shown OK. But when I try to stop it, it shown 'rndc: connect failed: connection refused' and '[Fail]' too.

I look into the /var/named directory there is a chroot directory there. I search the web & this directory called 'jail' in bind.

I try all the possibility step to resolve the problem & I keep getting this error message 'rndc: connect failed: connection refused' appear on screen.

I try for 3days and still no luck to get the DNS up

Anyone come across this problem before? ( I saw lot of article mention about this but NO SOLUTION )

Thanks for all imput's

I'm experiencing the same problem. I'm looking in the areas of the rndc key, files, and making sure the keys are the same.

I found this on a Linux board;
---------------------------------------
This surfaced for me on a new Fedora FC2 install, and is a known bug.

See bugzilla.redhat.com, bug #124992. Essentially, in FC2 BIND is configured to look for config files in /var/named/chroot/etc, but the files created there are empty.

The actual files are in /etc

Copying them over seems to work, pending resolution of the bad install on caching-nameserver-7.2-12.

This is new in FC2. It was not present in RH9, or in FC1

A little googling shows that variants of this have been in other distributions.

hope this helps!
