DNS Server Does Not Restart on Reboot

[adam5532]

Hi,

Whenever I do a server reboot, the DNS Server does not seem to restart automatically. I need to go into WHM and go to Restart Services: DNS Server to restart it. Then it works fine. Any ideas why?

Thanks,
Adam

Adam :

What does this command at the shell return :-

chkconfig --list named

 

[adam5532]

0:off  1:off  2:off  3:off  4:off  5:off  6:off

Thanks,
Adam

Run this as root:

chkconfig named on

This will turn named on for all boot levels.

 

[adam5532]

After executing:
chkconfig named on

Now chkconfig --list named reads the following:

0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

Is this correct now?

Thanks,
Adam

OK, I looked up chkconfig and runlevel and it looks like this is correct, 2-5 ON.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Run this as root:

chkconfig named on

This will turn named on for all boot levels.

What ChrisRHS has provided is correct; the only minor difference I suggest is the following, setting init runlevels 3 and 5 in RHEL/CentOS:

# chkconfig --level 35 named on

For additional reference regarding runlevels I suggest the following resources:
Runlevel - Wikipedia
