Can't start named

Z

Zencraft

Hello World. I am trying to get a DNS server up and running but when attempting to execute [cmd=]/etc/rc.d/named restart[/cmd] I get the error displayed in this link. http://imgur.com/I0DnIxP,6SZc3oR,eNMJRQo,40bPjhL#3

This is a screenshot of domain.local http://imgur.com/I0DnIxP
This shows named.conf http://imgur.com/I0DnIxP,6SZc3oR,eNMJRQo,40bPjhL#1
named.rev http://imgur.com/I0DnIxP,6SZc3oR,eNMJRQo,40bPjhL#2

I have compared these to several similar files online and don't see why I can't start the daemon. I'm hoping you guys can guide me in the right direction.

For starters .. can you please just post the text of your errors *here* instead of pictures on another website that requires the use of another browser tab? Much more easier ..

:e

I noticed that you started your domain.local TTL statement with what looks like a percent sign instead of a dollar sign. I didn't click on the rest of the links so you may other formatting errors.
 
Hi,

Your zone file has some problems, use this instead:

Code: 
$TTL 3600
$ORIGIN domain.local.

domain.local.	IN      SOA      kameron.domain.local. hostmaster.domain.local. (
                                2006051501
                                10800
                                3600
                                604800
                                300 
                        )

	 IN      NS      kameron.domain.local.

	IN      MX 10   mx.domain.local.
	IN      MX 20   mail.domain.local.

	 IN      A       3.14.15.1

localhost       IN      A       127.0.0.1
kameron             IN      A       3.14.15.1
mx              IN      A       3.14.15.3
mail            IN      A       3.14.15.4

www             IN      CNAME   domain.local.

Also make sure 3.14.15.1 was set on your nameserver. Next, add this line at the top of /etc/resolv.conf:

Code: 
nameserver 127.0.0.1

Add a space before '(' in your named.rev
 
Beautiful, I no longer get the error messages. When I run /etc/rc.d/named restart it then says
Code: 
named not running? (Check /var/run/named/pid)
named already running? (pid=2415)
So I kill 2415 and then run /etc/rc.d/named start which gives me the following errors:
Code: 
zone 15.14.3-in-addr.arp/IN: has no NS records
'                          ' not loaded due to error.
zone domain.local/IN: NS 'kameron.domain.local' has no address records(A or AAAA)
'                   ' not loaded due to errors.
Maybe I need to have kameron.domain.local in the named.conf file?

Negative, that is a non-solution suggestion.

NS RR's for reverse zone's do not have an IP address. You can begin solving part of your problem by removing the "1" from the line with NS in the reverse.

Thanks, that seemed to have reduced the output from [cmd=]/etc/rc.d/named restart[/cmd]

It tells me there is no A record for kameron.domain.local/IN
