RE: named fails to start with bind-9.18.0
No idea what OS or product. This is a compile, as in build the binary, or a daemon run issue? For myself I have an Ubuntu base and am running IND 9.18.x. Not locally compiled. I have found journalctl, systemctl, bind logs and /usr/bin/named-checkconf and named-checkzone to be very useful.

Re: named fails to start with bind-9.18.0
As Ondrej said. Upgrade. You compiled BIND 9.18.0. That is 27 release behind current. Unless you are doing archaeological investigations of old code you shouldn’t be trying to use old code like that. Running newer code means that you can avoid all the bugs that have been fixed in the meantime. Named logs what it finds wrong to syslog by default. Read your logs. You can also run named in the foreground and send the logs to stderr. named -g -c /etc/named.conf’ Due to Linux’s co-operating processes as its threading model, named can’t just daemonize once it has finished its startup phase. It has to daemonize then finish its startup. The parent process waits for the startup to complete and then exits with an appropriate error code. Somewhere in that startup something has failed.

Re: named fails to start with bind-9.18.0
My Apologies. I was just trying to show the snippet of bind library code where named was failing. I am trying to run named after compiling the bind library. The command I use to run named is as follows: /bin/named -c /etc/named.conf It appears that it is failing when it tries to daemonize named. what could be causing it ? named will eventually run as daemon in my dns server. Please let me know if more information is needed. Thanks, Avi On Mon, May 20, 2024 at 10:47 AM Ondřej Surý wrote: > Can someone please help what could be the issue here? > > > Not really.

named fails to start with bind-9.18.0
Hi All, I compiled bind-9.18.0 successfully but when I try to run named via configuration file, named exits with return code 1. The below code in bin/named/os.c is where it is failing. [image: image.png] When i run named with gdb , i see that it is exiting in the above code. Can someone please help what could be the issue here?
