problems starting ISC Bind service

[Gianpaolo Corona]

LS,
Can anyone help me? !!! I'm using bind 9.2.3 on w2K and installed it. I've configured a named.conf and checked it with named-checkconf an it appears to have no errors. The problem is that I can't startup the ISC Bind service. It keeps returning an error, can anyone help me.....

regards,

Gianpaolo

You may have to check for more detailed error messages on the
console/CLI rather than Event Viewer. Unfortunately, the above error
message doesn't provide much helpful information.

Juha,

Do you have a good named.conf file for me so I can check if there are errors
in my file

thanks

I'm fairly sure I had put this is the Readme1st.txt file that comes with
the binary kits.
I guess it wasn't explicit enough.

You need to have a directory directive in the options paragraph to define
where the
files are as a service does not run under a normal account. It needs to look
something like this:

options
{
directory "c:\windows\system32\dns\etc";
};

This is almost always the problem. If this is an NTFS disk, make sure that the
files are readable by the account running the service.
