 What does the logs say?

Thanks, Imri, the logs complain about /etc/db.cache. I copied
/etc/db.cache from the ns1 server to the ns2 server and bind stopped
complaining.

 Is the server chrooted or not?

no

 And I think you want to use type slave; for that zone, if this is a 
 secondary server.

Right, done, thanks!

Bind won't start: /etc/named.conf

2010-09-28 Thread Dotan Cohen 
I have just installed bind on a CentOS 5 machine but it won't start
without /etc/named.conf:

[r...@venus etc]# /etc/init.d/named start
Locating //etc/named.conf failed:
   [FAILED]
[r...@venus etc]# touch /etc/named.conf
[r...@venus etc]# /etc/init.d/named start
Starting named:[  OK  ]

Now, a blank named.conf isn't helpful, but I cannot use the named.conf
from another server as a template because it references other files
(specifically /etc/db.cache). What is the default named.conf file
for CentOS? I have tried to google for it but have not been able to
find something that works.

Thanks in advance.

 What are you trying to achieve? An empty named.conf file means named will
 use defaults for everything, and will probably just work out-of-the-box (as
 a simple resolver) so you should give more information about the goal and
 problem (including log entries, troubleshooting data etc.).


The goal is to for the server to be the second name server for a FQDN.
This is the relevant zone file:

[r...@venus ~]# cat /var/named/example.de.hosts
$ORIGIN example.de.
$TTL 86400
example.de. IN  SOA example.de. foo.example.de. (
2010092801; Serial - increment me
10800
3600
604800
38400 )
   IN  NSns2.example.de.
ns2IN  A x.x.x.168



This is the non-working named.conf that I pieced together from other
working file on other servers:

[r...@venus ~# cat /etc/named.conf
options {
directory /etc;
pid-file /var/run/named/named.pid;
listen-on {
any;
};
};

zone . {
type hint;
file /etc/db.cache;
};

zone example.de {
type master;
file /var/named/example.de.hosts;
};
