It should be /var/log/messages (syslog) but also /var/lib/named/log if chrooted. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Hi,

My Bind daemon dies but I do not know why.

I want to debug my system but I am not sure where bind error log file is?

Does someone help me where I find bind error log file?

Thanks,

PS My system configuration: Opensuse-10.2 kernel-default-2.6.18.2-34 bind-9.3.2-56.3 Starting name server BIND - Warning: /var/lib/named/var/run/named/named.pid exists! It dies and leaves named.pid. I delete it then it runs but it dies after a minute leaving .pid file.

Bind can be finicky on symtax. Unless debugging is turned up, you are not going to get a wealth of information from /var/log/messages. The following is part of a server howto I put together so I don't have to reinvent the wheel when I install a new server for the office. This is my configuration for bind where dhcpd provides dynamic update to the zone files. Section 3. is for bind config and section 4. is for dhcpd. This will leave you with a fully functioning dns for you local lan with forward and reverse lookups. Of course, you will have to change your ISP dns and configure the files to match your subnet. (Don't forget the "." at the end of the zone records for the reverse lookup zone and don't forget to update the "serial" before you start bind each time you manually edit the zone files. Hope it helps. Section 3. named BIND 9 DNS "Berkley Internet Nameservice Daemon Ver. 9 Domain Name Service" see: /usr/share/doc/packages/dhcp-server/DDNS-howto.txt make sure to edit /etc/sysconfig/named and add /etc/named.keys as an include file.
