2087 port problem, DNS issues

[asmar]

Hello all,

In a fresh install I am experiencing problems related with Bind.

DNS is not working at all and the only way to make it work is to stop it first and then to start bind like:
/usr/sbin/named -u named -c /etc/named.conf


Apart from that I cannot access https and 2087 port. In this case I need to do:
/etc/init.d/xinetd stop
service cpanel restart

Any ideas how can I solve this issues?

I disabled xinetd via webmin and also check the rc3.d dir in case that exist but the xinetd deamon is still running after a reboot.

Thanks

Thanks for the answer nickb.
I've seen that post and did everything but as I said the problem remains after I reboot the server.

Any other suggestions?

any error messages in /var/log/messages related to bind....and stunnel?...try restarting both and post errors..

[asmar]

Here are a few error that I found on messages :

xinetd[20481]: bind failed (Address already in use (errno = 98)). service = pop3
xinetd[20481]: bind failed (Address already in use (errno = 98)). service = pop3s
xinetd[20481]: xinetd Version 2.3.12 started with libwrap loadavg options compiled in.

Apart from the above nothing else.

Do u have portsentry running if yes then stop it, restart xineted, restart bind then start portsentry.....

[asmar]

nickb the problem comes only after a reboot.
Portsentry is not running.

Using webmin alongside cPanel is not supported and I've seen this cause various problems. Your issue appears to be some invalid entries in /etc/xinetd.d/. Check this directory and remove anything you don't need or want.

Ok I will check and see how it goes.

What about:
DNS seems to work (ps ax gives me that bind is running) but in the real world it seems to be broken. It doesn't even reply with the right responce when I am doing a nslookup on the same server.
It works only if I stop it and start it with:
/usr/sbin/named -u named -c /etc/named.conf

Any ideas?

any errors in /var/log/messages after you restart Bind?

I stopped bind and start it via cpanel (/scripts/restartsrv_named) and I am getting the following error in logs:

The strange thing is that /var/named/mydomain.com.db exist in the server.



Now I stopped the bind and start it with the working command:
/usr/sbin/named -u named -c /etc/named.conf

logs are:

Take a look at the named.conf and the options are set with the correct path to

directory "/var/namedb";

Take a look at the named.conf and the options are set with the correct path to

directory "/var/namedb";

The directory /var/namedb does not exist in the server.
Only the /var/named and there is no namedb directory there.
