Named Issue

Well I would do 1 of these 3
1. Sit and wait and hope it works
2. Contact who ever owns the server
3. Keep rebooting the server

I haven't had that problem but sometimes gotta just wait or just keep rebooting.

 

bind

hey man...
had the same problem when I first got a server... Try setting up the nameserver through WHM again and that should fix the issue... (cant quitre remember but I think the exact tab is Set Up Nameserver).

Let me know what happens

If named isn't starting up, have a search on the forums, the various fixes have been discussed in detail many times.

 

First try this:

- Open an SSH/telnet consoel and log into your server.

- Trace the output of the named process:

Code:

tail -f /var/log/messages | grep named

Now try to restart BIND/named and watch the log output on the console.

Usually named will refuse to start if there is an error of a certain severity. For example, I just had named fail to start because I forgot to add a domain's master server IP to the config of the slave server for the domain. BIND/Named refused to start and the reason was stated quite clearly in the system log.

Anyway, it's a place to start.
