    So, now i've got a problem.

    Our system uses 2 named.conf files. weird enough only one get's updated by Cpanel itself. When i add an domain it updates /etc/namedb/named.conf.. but when bind start's it uses the /etc/named.conf

    I try'd symlinks (both ways) but cpanel overwrites them whatever i do..

    is there a sollution to my problem? Now i have to delete the file, make an symlink and restart the nameserver everytime..

    What distro are you running? I have RHEL and there is no directory called /etc/namedb are you perhaps running bsd?

    Add this line to your rc.conf file and reboot


    named_flags="-u bind -c /etc/namedb/named.conf"

    Do you still have the named.conf and rndc.conf symlinked to /etc ?

    Also, what is the directory setting in named.conf?

    here is what we have.

    options {
    directory "/etc/namedb";

    Add this to the options

    options {
    pid-file "/var/tmp/named.pid";
    directory "/etc/namedb";
    };

    Then try to restart bind

    I suggest opening a ticket with cpanel and have them look at the box.
