Problem installing bind upgrade

[Ruben Cardenal]

Hi,

I have downloaded the "BIND 8.1.2 Optional Upgrade Version 1.3", which upgrades from bind from bind 4.X to 8.1.2 for 11.00 machines. What I get from HP site (http://www.software.hp.com/products/DNS_BIND/index.html) is a tar file, not a depot one and, once decompressed, I only get -under bash- "cannot execute binary file" (or "Cannot execute, permission denied" -under sh-) messages.

What's wrong?

Thanks.

Hi,

Have you read the installation instructions also to be found on the page you indicate.

The tar file is the depot which you must install with swinstall.

First read the installation instructions.
