I'm stumped. I thought I set everything up right (this is my first server with WHM/Cpanel though), but every time an A record is added, I get the following (or a similar) message...
IP=67.18.41.74 Bind reloading on s1 using rndc zone: [pixdserver.com] Error reloading bind on s1: rndc: connect failed: connection refused Add Complete
My host name is s1.pixdserver.com and my /etc/hosts file looks like
67.18.41.74 s1.pixdserver.com
127.0.0.1 localhost
Versions: WHM 9.2.0 cPanel 9.2.0-R20 on Linux RH Enterprise 3
I've restarted bind, and the whole server, yet the error still shows. Adding websites works, they resolve to the name server, but it's this phantom error that worries me... If anyone have any tips / advice as to how to fix this, what's wrong, etc.. I'd appreciate it :)
I tried changing the hostname to velocity.pixdserver.com but that didn't solve it (this was before I got frustrated and posted here) I changed it back to s1.pixdserver.com afterwards and all of the suddent I don't have a DNS record for it (or velocity) anymore, I don't know if maybe that's what the problem is. After I ran what you just said I got the following output.
rndc: connection to remote host closed
This may indicate that the remote server is using an older version of
the command protocol, this host is not authorized to connect,
or the key is invalid.

Now when I try adding an A record I get....
