Please post one more time /etc/ispcp/bind/working/named.conf. if this file has no problem i really don`t know what it can be.

/etc/bind/named.conf must be like this

/etc/ispcp/bind9/working/named.conf must be this (not all named.conf :

Quote:// bind Data BEGIN.

// dmn [txc.se] cfg entry BEGIN.
zone "txc.se" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/master/txc.se.db";
notify YES;
};
// dmn [txc.se] cfg entry END.

// dmn [{DMN_NAME}] cfg entry BEGIN.
// dmn [{DMN_NAME}] cfg entry END.

// bind Data END.

named.conf in ispcp directory contains only data (between // bind Data BEGIN. and // bind Data END.) ?

Is that the error?

/etc/ispcp/bind/named.conf

Quote:/etc/ispcp/bind# cat named.conf
// bind Data BEGIN.

// dmn [{DMN_NAME}] cfg entry BEGIN.
// dmn [{DMN_NAME}] cfg entry END.

// bind Data END.

The error is that you copied /etc/bind/named.conf in /etc/ispcp/working/named.conf. without removing data that has nothing to do with ispcp. Code expect a strict syntax of the file, modifying this can lead to different problem (as happend to you)

i haven't touched /etc/ispcp/bind/named.conf, i have only overwritten /etc/ispcp/bind/working/named.conf

This is exactly what i`m trying to tell you with my poor english This 2 files are not identical. /etc/ispcp/bind/working/named.conf must contain just data bettwen
// bind Data BEGIN.
and
// bind Data END.
from the /etc/bind/named.conf not all the data from that file.

sci2tech Wrote:/etc/ispcp/bind9/working/named.conf must be this (not all named.conf

Quote:// bind Data BEGIN.

// dmn [txc.se] cfg entry BEGIN.
zone "txc.se" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/master/txc.se.db";
notify YES;
};
// dmn [txc.se] cfg entry END.

// dmn [{DMN_NAME}] cfg entry BEGIN.
// dmn [{DMN_NAME}] cfg entry END.

// bind Data END.

Yes. but you mentioned /etc/ispcp/bind/named.conf in #15, and that confused me.

I`m sorry for misleading, i did understand that you need to know what is the content of /etc/ispcp/bind/named.conf not the one from /etc/ispcp/bind/working/named.conf. Damn, I must return to school to learn a little bit more English.
To resume /etc/bind/named.conf and /etc/ispcp/bind/working/named.conf are different and /etc/ispcp/bind/working/named.conf must contain only data from // bind Data BEGIN. to // bind Data END.
Good luck

I have changed the file in working/ now. I hope this help, and big thanks for your efforts.
