BIND configuration: all zones must be in views

Virtualmin
1

Hello,

I am running Virtualmin GPL over Centos 5.6. Recently I updated BIND to version 9.3.6 as an update package was available for auto installation. After the update I discovered that BIND is no longer running and reporting an error:

/etc/named.conf:[line num]: when using ‘view’ statements, all zones must be in views

This is the line where the zones for the virtual servers begin. They are defined as top-level (not in any view) as the default Server Template of Virtualmin is set so (Server Templates -> Default Template -> BIND DNS Domain -> Create new domains in view -> Top level (not in any view)).

  1. What caused the problem? Why Virtualmin is creating these zones as top-level if BIND does not allow that?

  2. Which is the correct solution? Should I move all the zones for the virtual servers inside the “external” view and change all the server templates to create new zones in external view?

Thanks lot in advance!

Howdy,

Hmm, I haven’t heard of invalid syntax being added before… is there any chance you could open a support request using the Support link above, and in that, attach your /etc/named.conf file, and include the exact error that you’re seeing?

We can use that info to dig into what’s going on there.

Thanks!
