I am trying to set up a bind server. My named.conf file has the following lines

...
options{
...
directory "/var/named";
...
};
...
zone "sly.net"{
type master;
file "data/db.sly.net";
};
...

My file is at /var/named/data/db.sly.net - but when I try to start the server, I get the error

zone sly.net/IN: loading master file data/db.sly.net: file not found
_default/sly.net/IN: file not found

I'm not sure what the issue could be. Is my file in the correct place?

    Can you try to specify zone file location like file "/var/named/data/db.sly.net"; garron.me/go2linux/how-setup-dns-server-master-slave-bind.html Commented Jan 3, 2013 at 19:32
  • @Suku I tried that, but it didn't work. Good idea though. Commented Jan 3, 2013 at 20:12

named may be running as a chroot program with lowered privs.....thus the location of /var/named virtually within the chroot environment may be different than the actual location in a non-chrooted environment.

  • I have other issues, but the correct location was /var/named/chroot/var/named/data instead of /var/named/data Commented Jan 3, 2013 at 20:11
