DNS Zone transfer doesn't work after upgrade

[jhuedder]

Hi,

I upgraded Plesk from 8.0.1 to 8.1.0 on SuSE 10.0. Now I can't transfer DNS zones. My Plesk-server is slave and another server running Bind 8 is master. I read the following message in /var/log/messages:

Dec 6 20:43:44 ns2 named[23300]: transfer of 'xyz.de/IN' from 1.2.3.4#53: connected using 5.6.7.8#39217
Dec 6 20:43:44 ns2 named[23300]: dumping master file: tmp-uUUziECSPE: open: permission denied
Dec 6 20:43:44 ns2 named[23300]: transfer of 'xyz.de/IN' from 1.2.3.4#53: failed while receiving responses: permission denied
Dec 6 20:43:44 ns2 named[23300]: transfer of 'xyz.de/IN' from 1.2.3.4#53: end of transfer

Where does named try to open that tmp-file?

Thanks,

Check named.conf man
I know in freeBsd i had this problem, and it's because PLESK 8.1 overwrites named.conf and only listens on localhost, which prevents external servers from connecting. comment out the listen 127.0.0.1 in named.conf so it listens on the external interface again...hope this helps

Hi ccohen

thanks for your advice. But my server (ns2, IP 5.6.7.8) is the slave server that cannot connect to the master DNS (1.2.3.4). The master DNS is all right; the zone transfer to another slave works without any problems.

It seems that my server can't write to a temporary file, so my question is WHERE it wants to write that file.
