Hi,
I have been trying to configure bind on my linux machine but unable to do it till now.
My linux machine's IP is 192.168.1.1 and I would like to use the name miniserver.fleetship.com instead of using this IP. Also, the linux console is not connected to the internet as I'll be using the website for my local environment.
1. I am running Redhat 9.0
2. Installed bind rpm from the Linux cd (the rpm's were installed succesfully).
3. Created /etc/named.conf and made the necessary changes.
4. Made the necessary changes in /etc/resolve.conf
5. I have given details about my /etc/resolve.conf and /etc/named.conf file below.
6. When I run service named restart, I get the following messages
stopping named: rndc: connect failed: connection refused [FAILED] [OK]
Details : 1. /etc/named.conf
*************************************************************************
options { directory "/var/named"; }; controls { inet 192.168.1.1 allow { miniserver.fleetship.com;} keys { mdc_key;}; }; key "mdc_key" { algorithm hmax-md5; secret "c3Ryb25"; }; zone "."{ type hint; file "root.hints"; }; zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "zone/192.168.1"; }; zone "land-5.com" { type master; file"zone/land-5.com"; }; zone "177.6.206.in-addr/arpa"{ type master; file"zone/206.6.177"; }; **************************************************************************** **
2. /etc/resolv.conf
**************************************************************************** ** search fleetship.com domain fleetship.com nameserver 192.168.1.1
**************************************************************************** ***
3. When I run #tail -f /var/log/messages and run service named restart I get the following messages in the log file
***************************************************************************
no IPv6 interfaces found could not configure root hints from 'root.hints': file not found loading configuration : file not found exiting (due to fatal errros)' named startup succeeded
******************************************************************
Can someone please help me ! My deadline is nearing .
Thanks Nikhil
