Hi,
I'm new to LINUX and I am having problems with DNS. I used the following
procedure (Unpacking, configuration and installation) to install BIND 8
and convert BIND 4 to Bind 8. However, I can not get "named" to start
using the "named.conf" file. It will only start using the "named.boot".
Can you tell me what I could have done wrong?
Sincerely Thanks
Rod
Unpacking, configuration and installation
1.Move into the source directory:
cd /usr/src
2.Unpack the new source:
tar xzf your-path/bind-version-src.tar.gz -C /usr/src
3.Rename the source directory:
mv src bind-8.1.2
4.Now create/overwrite the softlink, necessary for shorter paths:
ln -sf /usr/src/bind-version /usr/src/bind8
5.Move into the source directory:
cd bind8
6.Now compile and install:
make depend
make clean; make; make install
If you get any errors during compilation (happens at 8.1.1),
like
../../lib/libbind.a(ns_print.o): In function
`__ns_sprintrrf':
/home/source/bind/bind-8.1.1/lib/nameser/ns_print.c:454:
undefined reference to `__b64_ntop'
Is caused by a problem with gcc-2.7.2.3 and the file
base64.c, so edit
port/linux/Makefile.set
Line 2: remove -O
7.If you are install this software for the first time:
Set links for compatibility
ln -sf /usr/local/bind/include /usr/include/bind
ln -sf /usr/local/bind/lib/libbind.a /usr/lib/libbind.a
8.If you have already a nameserver setup, then
a.Convert your old named.boot, if previously using BIND4
/usr/src/bind8/bin/named/named-bootconf.pl
</etc/namedb/named.boot >/etc/namedb/named.conf
b.Create an important link
ln -sf /etc/namedb/named.conf /etc/named.conf
9.Restart BIND
a.Kill running named
kill named-pid
b.Start new named
named
