actually i just figured that part out as i got that last email the pid file didn't exist yet and the service wasn't running i was just trying to run it from the command line ie # /usr/sbin/named -g
so now named is running but i've got a new error when i type: "rndc status" : "rndc: send remote authenticator: permission denied" i tried removing the include line that calls for /etc/rndc.key and replacing it with the contents of that file but that didn't work any suggestions? did i mention i was running rh7.2? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Devon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 28, 2001 10:13 PM Subject: Re: bind 9 problems (newbie) > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On Saturday 29 December 2001 12:59 am, daniel wrote: > > ok well now i get a whole new error > > when i run "/usr/sbin/named" > > > > it's telling me it can't open the named.pid file > > but i'm running this as root how can that be? > > Hrmm? > How about "/sbin/service named start" > > Can't write to /var/run/named/named.pid, or the file already exists? > If the file exists, is named already running? > If so, "/sbin/service named restart" should work. > If the file exists, and named is not running, try removing > /var/run/named/named.pid first. > > - -D > > - -- > > pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/pgpkey.txt > > - -- > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) > Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org > > iD8DBQE8LV8SeMAUbzJhSVcRAjCnAJ9bSHb6oBQitLGVzgd+Gcm9YbJt2gCdHG9s > +euocWhNehQJCk5Bp4spGTw= > =3Xdh > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > > > _______________________________________________ > Redhat-list mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
