BIND down when disabling a Virtual Server

Virtualmin

Hi

When disabling a Virtual Server, the DNS zone change it´s name adding .disabled after the domain name.
After that, BIND cannot start unless I delete the zone.

¿How can I fix this?

Thanks!!

What are the actual errors when restarting BIND?

Hi Joe

I disabled test.com.

When restarting bind this is the error:

Fallo al arrancar BIND: Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start named.service Job for named.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See “systemctl status named.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.

Running journalctl -xe | grep named:

Stale .bak files are nothing new on my system. When setting this current system up I used them regularly in the directory the zonefiles are located in. Yeah, I’d get errors saying they were ignored, but yeah, they were ignored and bind moved on. The looping is strange. Maybe something in the RH thinking that makes it fail so you fix it?

I think that’s a red herring. It doesn’t prevent BIND from starting…it’s ignoring the files. So, the question is, why is it actually not starting? I think we need more information…

More info.

I forgot to tell. The only way to hace BIND running again is deleting the zone test.com.disabled.

8

But when I did this it listed it once and moved on. My question is why the loop? Is this Redhat’s way of making you deal with the error?

9

I dont´know where is the loop!!

10

My only guess, and a guess it is, is that Redhat’s configuration does some error checking and refuses to start on any error. One of the first things I do when I edit stuff by hand is to make a .bak file for disaster recovery so I just saw this recently. Gave the warning once and moved on.

Hm… Can’t recreate it now, maybe because it is now set up as a slave and ignoring the local config.
