I have upgraded my system from Redhat 9 to Fedora Core 3. Previously I was serving my own domain, no problems. Now that is not working. The problem seems to be in the configuration. 1. There is a new named.config file that was installed during the upgrade. The old config file was nicely saved under another name. 2. The original zone information in /var/named appears to be unchanged, but it is not being recognized by Bind, probably because the new named.config file does not reference my zone file. I have attempted to use system-config-bind while logged in as root to fix this. - while using the tool, adding a record for the zone causes all the original records for the zone to be recognized. However, I can't successfully save the updated config file due to an error, "AttributeError: NS instance has no attribute 'owner'. - I have also tried renaming the original zone file and recreating it from scratch using the system-config-bind tool, but the same error occurs. - In both instances the nameserver record attempts to designate a host named like this - ns.mydomain.com - to serve mydomain.com. The hostname ns.mydomain.com is an alias for mydomain.com. Also, I have left the little box to the left of "mydomain.com" blank in the nameserver record window because I want the server to serve all of mydomain.com. 3. The version numbers for system-config-tool and the online help for system-config-tool match, but the dialogue windows shown in the tool and in the documentation for creating a new forward master zone do not. Alas, the tool's help documentation says nothing about creating a nameserver record. Any suggestions for troubleshooting this? Should I simply resort to editing named.config by hand to point to my zone file? Many thanks in advance. Debbie P.S. My system ran happily with Redhat 9 for almost 2 years, and yes I am the person who configured it originally. I am very comfortable around computers, but no expert when it comes to Linux configuration. So, don't hold back, but don't assume I know all the ins and outs of Linux administration. I may be overlooking something very basic here.
