named fails after installing patch kit

[Naresh_4]

Hello all,

My bind software was working fine till I installed patch kit 8 for digital unix 4.0f,

After installing patches, the patch installer gave the message to run

/usr/sbin/named-bootconf < /etc/namedb/named.boot > /etc/namedb/named.conf

i did the same and also

rcmgr set BIND_SERVERARGS -c /etc/namedb/named.conf

Then after that the named service is starting, and though it is resolving few other master domains, and all slave domains, but it is not resolving our main master domain of which this server is the main domain controller.

I also see some errors for the main domain's configuration file. Why have these errors arrived after installing patch kit ( which has upgraded the bind version.)

But same configuration files when I copy on a linux with bind 8.x.x it works perfectly.

How do I run the same new converted zone files on this upgraded digital unix.

Regards,
Naresh.

first have you checked if the started bind/named process is still the updated one. the given command converts the old named.conf syntax to the new one required for newer versions.

1. What happened if you use the old config file?

2. What is the difference within the file after the convertion?

3. Is the Linux version also the same version as the Tru64 bind? (exact version, not 8.*)

Yes, this converted file made from digital unix only I used in linux and bind version on both machines is 8.x.x.
Also the binary changes after installing the patch kit.

How do I know what has gone wrong

question is if it the exact version and not if the first major-number matches....
