Subject: RE: technical helphi mark,when I type ps -ax | grep bind is reply 2327 pts/4 s 0:00 grep bindwhat of if I change my named.conf to the below stuff?zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.root";};zone "localhost" {

file "localhost";
};zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "127.0.0";
};will it be of help?the ip of the machine to be configured as DNS srver is 64.110.88.4 and the gateway is 64.110.88.1 and the dns IP is 64.110.88.4 which is a /28 out of my /25 block of IP address. butwhen I type the host name the system during installation took the pry dns to be 64.110.88.1 which is to be the gateway, hope this won't cause me any problem during configuration?Do I need to do any changes in the resovle.conf file?thanks.

The last time I fiddled with BIND 9, it only wanted to run as root, and not the user named; but that's a long time ago.You need to find a way to start the BIND process. But first, see if it is running. I am not sure what process name it runs under on Redhat, but you could try one of these commands:ps -ax | grep named, or ps -ax | grep bindIf nothing comes up, try to start it. Locate the BIND binary using the whereis command. You may be looking for a file called named, or bind, or something like that. You could also load the manpages to read about the file distribution of BIND 9 on your system. Once you locate the file, and start the BIND process, you should be able to start resolving Internet addresses, as long as your /etc/named.conf file is intact.Regards,Mark Tinka - CCNA

Subject: RE: technical helpHi mark,Know I don't have firewall running of my system. and it is a linux system with version 7.2I thought BIND comes automatically with linux 7.2 when you install linux or do I need to install BIND separately after I might have installed linux?how can I know or confirm if BIND is running in the background of linux 7.2this is copy my named.conf file## named.conf configuration for bind## Generated automatically for bindconf, alchmist et al.control {inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; };};include "/etc/rndc.key";options {directory "/var/named/";};zone "." {type hintfile "named.ca";};zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {type masterfile "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.zone";};zone "localhost" {type master;file "localhost.zone";};And what of my resolve.conf how is it suppose to look like?thanks so much for your assistant, I appreciate.-Ajayi

Is BIND running in the background? Do you have a firewall, I ask again?Please paste a copy of your named.conf file. First, we get the DNS working, then look at Apache.Regards,Mark Tinka - CCNA
