rndc connect problem

Hi...
I faced the same problem and after reading all of Cpanel forums I found no answer then I went to BIND documentations and read about the rndc. Problem lies with the latest BIND release 9 and its restart menthod that uses keys and controls. See wat I did..

#cat /etc/rndc.conf

-- then I copied the lines starting with ---

key &rndckey& {
algorithm &hmac-md5&;
secret &xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&; &-- a secret key
};


I pasted the above line in /etc/named.conf just below the &controls& line.

I restarted my server and every thing started running fine without any error

I hope it will help....

regards...

Usually the rndc problem lies when you are using bind version 9, but your server thinks it is using bind version 8. Change the version number in WHM, under EDIT SETUP, and then restart bind. Afterwards, run /scripts/fixndc and run that script TWICE. That should work.

What else could cause this error besides the key? I have tried to add it and re-add it but the error still remains.

I don't have a master slave set up and never have.

I just moved several accounts to the server and it started from that.

Thanks,.

I have the same error, and i found that was a mistake in one file.

1) Edit /etc/named.conf
2) search "rndckey" (without quotes) and change it to "rndc-key" (without quotes again).
3) restart BIND - /etc/init.d/named restart

It works for me! Let me know if it helps you

I had a similar problem, and I just deleted my named.conf and rebuilt it with the /scripts/rebuildnamedconf. You can also try doing the fixrndckey script also.

Removing - was the solution for me a my master server (still) uses redhat 7.1

Read your log file!

/var/log/messages will contain the error messages from bind when it fails to restart. It will even report the line numbers in /etc/named.conf it's having problems with so all you have to do is fix the line(s) in question. In my case, it was a matter of improperly placed comment tags (#) in named.conf. Simply correcting those did the trick.

(I have a master/slave setup, so my error may have been caused by a dns transfer.)

If you are using redhat or fedora... do this...

pico /etc/named.conf
Near the top of that file are 2 entries that say rndc-key or rndckey
remove the "-" from the rndc-key

then:

then run /scripts/fixndc
do that twice... the first time will error out the second time will be fine.


Then:

pico /etc/sysconfig/named
comment out the 'rootdir='
just put a # in front of it..


This will fix all the BIND issues and RNDC issues in WHM and Cpanel so you dont get that rndc error and if you had that annoying popup missing a entry thing, then it will fix it to...
