Re: DNS Server Problems MORE

James,

I get this same output on my DNS server that is not working, as well as the one that is functioning just fine, when I restart BIND:

ndc: error: ctl_client: evConnect(fd 3): No such file or directory
ndc: error: cannot connect to command channel (/var/run/ndc)
ndc: error: ctl_client: evConnect(fd 3): No such file or directory
ndc: error: cannot connect to command channel (/var/run/ndc)
ndc: error: name server was not running (warning only)
ndc: error: name server has not started (yet?)


Thanks for your reply. Any help would be really appreciated...


Pete

Out of nowhere, my DNS Server is acting crazy. I am running OSXS
10.2.5. It will only resolve my local addresses now, from any client
with a static IP address. I can't resolved any names outside my LAN. It
had been working fine up to today, and I haven't changed anything. DHCP
Clients (OS9) seem to resolve fine. I have tried restarting the
Computer the server is running on, and also have restarted DNS, no
luck. Are there files somewhere that could have gotten corrupt. Please
HELP!

In one terminal window, issue the command:
tail -f /var/log/system.log


In another terminal window, issue the command:
sudo ndc restart
(and enter your admin password when prompted)


Back in the first window, you should see a bunch of lines get printed. This will
be the log of BIND attempting to restart itself. You should be able to figure
out any errors from that log information. If you still can't work it out,
copy-and-paste that log output to this list and someone should be able to help
you figure out where the problem is.

It would also be helpful to post the contents of your /etc/named.conf file.

Cheers
James
