Have you tried running /scripts/fixrndc ?

[KamilPRO]

yes,

root@bunny [/]# /scripts/fixrndc
Uruchamianie (Running) named: [FAILED]
root@bunny [/]#

[VINAX]

Try to upgrade named!

[KamilPRO]

I'm upgraded cPanel force: /scripts/upcp --force

named - failed

[TLott]

Try /scripts/fixndc two or three times (not Rndc)

this may work as well:

cp /etc/rndc.key /etc/rndc.key.old
rndc-confgen -a -b 128 -c /etc/rndc.key -k rndc-key chown named:named
/etc/rndc.key service named restart

[VINAX]

I meant upgrade it by manually. There are some threads talked about this issue, so just search on " named ".

[KamilPRO]

[/]# rndc-confgen -a -b 128 -c /etc/rndc.key -k rndc-key chown named:n
Usage:
rndc-confgen [-a] [-b bits] [-c keyfile] [-k keyname] [-p port] [-r randomfile] [-s addr] [-t chrootdir] [-u user]
-a: generate just the key clause and write it to keyfile (/etc/rndc.key)
-b bits: from 1 through 512, default 128; total length of the secret
-c keyfile: specify an alternate key file (requires -a)
-k keyname: the name as it will be used in named.conf and rndc.conf
-p port: the port named will listen on and rndc will connect to
-r randomfile: a file containing random data
-s addr: the address to which rndc should connect
-t chrootdir: write a keyfile in chrootdir as well (requires -a)
-u user: set the keyfile owner to "user" (requires -a)
root@bunny [/]#

??

[TLott]

er, I meant rndc-confgen -a -b 128 -c /etc/rndc.key -k rndc-key

followed by the chown command - they should not be on the same line

[KamilPRO]

very thanks Close thread

[TLott]

no problem
