Nameserver Setup breaks server, help!

[skoker]

I ran the Nameserver setup to see what it did (oops) and if seems to have trashed my whole BIND setup, and named.conf seems to have been deleted. I tried updating cPanel via WHM and recompiling Apache, but it is still down.

Is there any way I can reinstall BIND?

My server is WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.8.2-S120
Fedora i686 - WHM X v3.1.0


Thank you!

Now something is seriously screwed, when trying to log in via SSH, I get:

ssh: ******.com: No address associated with nodename

If it helps, WHM now gives me this:

Can you provide us the result of the following command:

/scripts/restartsrv named

My server started the same thing this morning. The server has been running nicely for >18 months...

When I try to do the up2date, I get the following (which I think is a resolving problem):
up2date install bind-libs
Error communicating with server. The message was:
Name or service not known
-----------
My resolv.conf looks like:
domain <mydomain>.com
nameserver 66.139.72.14
nameserver 66.139.72.20
nameserver <my ip>

-----------
rpm -qa | grep bind shows:
bind-utils-9.2.4-14_EL3
bind-devel-9.2.4-14_EL3
bind-libs-9.2.4-7_EL3
ypbind-1.12-5.21.9
bind-9.2.4-14_EL3

so I am thinking the bind-libs version may be an issue, but up2date isn't resolving (I think) even though the two name servers in resolv.conf are working from what I can tell.

Any ideas? ;-)


---------------------
I'm going to try this:

wget http://216.127.74.88/files/bind-libs-9.2.4-14_EL3.i386.rpm
then
rpm -i bind-libs-9.2.4-14_EL3.i386.rpm

But am a bit nervous about messing it up more!

I think I got it with the fix above. It just took a little while to propagate.
