The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

bind dns SERVFAIL

Asked by marcriera in Domain Name Service (DNS), Miscellaneous Networking, Linux Networking

Tags: bind servfail debian

Hello,

I have a bind server (1:9.5.1.dfsg.P3-1) which manages my zone (barcelonamedia.org).
I use debian lenny.


Bind server is running, or it looks like so because status returns failed.

FBMNS01:/etc/bind# /etc/init.d/bind9 force-reload
Reloading domain name service...: bind9.

FBMNS01:/etc/bind# /etc/init.d/bind9 status
bind9 is not running failed!

FBMNS01:/etc/bind# ps axu|grep bind
bind     11490  0.0  0.7 125776 15160 ?        Ssl  09:53   0:00 /usr/sbin/named -u bind -t /var/chroot/bind9
root     11554  0.0  0.0   5160   780 pts/0    S+   10:07   0:00 grep bind



In the bind server :

FBMNS01:/etc/bind# nslookup
> server 84.88.79.190
Default server: 84.88.79.190
Address: 84.88.79.190#53
> set ty=any
> barcelonamedia.org
Server:         84.88.79.190
Address:        84.88.79.190#53

** server can't find barcelonamedia.org.barcelonamedia.org: SERVFAIL


And finally i do not manage to read logs because they are not there. I really do not understant. Help will be apreciated.

FBMNS01:/etc/bind# locate bind |grep log
