[buug] DNS Server and Apache on same machine

[Rick Moen]

Quoting Jarell Douville (jcdouville at sbcglobal.net):

> Here's /var/log/messages:

There you have it.  Your zonefile was on crack, and....

> Oct 20 15:38:46 mpflea named[511]: master zone
> "mpflea.net" (IN) rejected due to errors (serial 5)

...was summarily rejected and regurgitated onto the pavement.  BIND8 is
thus eagerly willing to serve up all your _other_ zonefiles, which
probably amounts to quantity zero:

> Oct 20 15:38:46 mpflea named[524]: Ready to answer
> queries.

Like that.

So, problem #1 of n is that your zonefile doesn't have a valid SOA
block.  Maybe because you forgot the closing ");" , hmmm?

Oops.

Might I strongly suggest that you shitcan that zonefile, grab your
choice of example zonefiles to work from, and start over?  Also:

> Oct 20 15:38:46 mpflea named[511]: starting
> (/etc/namedb/named.conf).  named 8.3.7-REL Tue May 25
> 21:15:41 GMT 2004

/bin/date informs me that it's 2004.  BIND8 has not been defensible
since around January 2001 at the latest (when BIND9 became good enough
to rely on).
