Set: not found???

Named starts on a FreeBSD 13.1 release desktop, apache24

It works!​

but I have this error:
Code:
named status

/etc/rc.conf: Set: not found
/etc/rc.conf: Set: not found
named is running as pid xxx.
Relevant entries in my /etc/rc.conf

Code:
syslogd_flags="-ss -vv"
sendmail_enable="NONE"
... etc
pf_enable="yes"
kern_securelevel_enable="Yes"
kern_securelevel="3"
altlog_proglist="named"  # ???
named_enable="YES"
 
Code:
... etc
Yeah, post this bit too. It's very likely that's where the error is.

Code:
altlog_proglist="named"  # ???
To answer this question, you need this if you're running named(8) in a chroot(8). To run it in a chroot(8) you need these too:
Code:
named_chrootdir="/var/named"
named_chroot_autoupdate="YES"
As you don't have that, you don't need altlog_proglist

Bobi B. suggested that I run grep -A3 -B3 Set /etc/rc.conf. This is what it says:
Code:

The bigger problem is to find a way to make a apache24 webserver and/or nginx work with DHCP. Google Domain settings allow
ddclient, I could use that feature. The trouble is that most of the configuration help that I find online assumes that the setup would have one or more static IP addresses.
 
In rc.conf, put a # at the beginning of this line:

Thank you. Changed anther line of code also, as SirDice indicated.

#Set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable #altlog_proglist="named"

service named status now shows process id without errors.

Thank you.
 
Don't need to.

What I meant by having to make my web server "work with DHCP" is about mapping the domain name to a Static IP addresses. At the moment I am respectfully arguing with those with incontrovertible technical mastery that I need a Static address for my computer. Am I totally wrong?
 
In general, you don't need static IP addresses for hosting websites, only DNS names.

In the simple case of hosting only one domain, it doesn't matter at all, just let your webserver listen on any address and serve the content for this one domain.

For multiple domains, you needed multiple IP addresses in the past, and configure them for "virtual hosts" in your webserver to distinguish between these domains. With HTTP/1.1 introducing the Host: header (containing the domain name for the request) a really long time ago, this wasn't necessary any more for plain http. It continued to be necessary for https, because the webserver needs to present the correct certificate for the domain before receiving the actual request, but this problem is also long gone thanks to SNI which is supported by any browser and webserver nowadays. So, you can base your virtual hosts entirely on names.

Still, it would be pretty uncommon not to have a static IP address for a webserver. Maybe it would help if you explain in detail what you're trying to achieve here.
