BIND 9.2.1 Installation

[Maenard Martinez (TS-PH)]

I checked the doc directory but there's nothing there. Anyway, after =
trying
to tweak my server, it crashed; so I had to chance to reinstall BIND =
again.
I did these steps:

1. rename all BIND files I could find and added an *.bak extension:
	/etc/rc.d/init.d/named
	/usr/sbin/named*
	/etc/named.conf

2. installed BIND
	./configure
	make
	make install

3. i tested it from the /root directory: named -v, it displayed the =
correct
version (unlike before that I have to use the real path:
/usr/local/sbin/named -v)

4. edited 3 lines in the /etc/rc.d/init.d to reflect the new path of =
the
BIND
5. renamed the *.bak files for the named script and the named.conf
6. started the daemon by running /etc/rc.d/init.d/named

On step 6, I encountered errors: "none:0:open:/etc/named.conf:file not
found". But I checked by named.conf, and it is there (step 5).=20

What did I miss?

Thanks.

Not much. Examine the Makefile and see where the sofware get's =
installed
( usually /usr/local/sbin) , adjust your startup scripts accordingly.

Have you browsed the doc/ directory ?
