I have just installed PowerDNS 2.9.20-1 on a test Linux server running Fedora 5. As per the documentation, the only entries in pdns.conf are: --------------------------- launch=bind bind-example-zones --------------------------- When I try to test the service I get an error: --------------------------- # host www.example.com 127.0.0.1 Using domain server: Name: 127.0.0.1 Address: 127.0.0.1#53 Aliases:
Host www.example.com not found: 2(SERVFAIL) # --------------------------- And the monitor shows the following: --------------------------- # /etc/init.d/pdns monitor Sep 02 13:24:08 This is a standalone pdns Sep 02 13:24:08 It is advised to bind to explicit addresses with the --local-address option Sep 02 13:24:08 UDP server bound to 0.0.0.0:53 Sep 02 13:24:08 TCP server bound to 0.0.0.0:53 Sep 02 13:24:08 PowerDNS 2.9.20 (C) 2001-2006 PowerDNS.COM BV (Mar 15 2006, 19:32:45, gcc 4.0.2) starting up Sep 02 13:24:08 PowerDNS comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Any suggestions appreciated. Regards, Matt _______________________________________________ Pdns-users mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users
