Trableshooting Bind DNS Server on Redhat, Centos or Fedora

Trableshooting Bind DNS Server on Redhat, Centos or Fedora

Hi Mr. Arif

The link you provided is very reach on different service configuration
on a Linux Box. But the way you asked to help has not enough
information to help you.

To give you a complete solution for your DNS problem, anyone might
need to see the configuration files of your Linux box listed bellow:

/etc/named.conf
/etc/sysconfig/named
All file under /var/named
/etc/sysconfig/iptables

Finally the output of following 2 command on your Linux Box:

netstat -na
service named reload; tail -200 /var/log/messages

You also need to provide the distribution of Linux you are using, like
'Redhat', 'Redhat Enterprise', 'CentOS', 'Fedora', 'Openlinux' etc etc
with the version number.

For a quick solution, you can try checking your DNS server with
firewall off. To shutdown your default firewall issue the command
bellow:

service iptables stop

Then check your configured DNS server. All of above method I mention
above is for redhat/RHEL/CentOS/Fedora distribution of Linux.

Hope you problem will solved, if not you can reply this email with the
details information I asked above.

Thank you for using Linux

Happy Linuxing

  • @Umamaheswar: It seems that you have problem on main configuration file of your named domain. Can you please input more information like, what version of named you are running? and output of command (error messages) service named start. Thanks
