  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.

FC3 and BIND

So I have an issue right now concerning Plesk 7.5.4, FedoraCore 3, and BIND...

Essentially, Plesk seems to want use /var/named/run-root for BIND but when using this dir I get the following error:

Mar 6 03:31:12 cubed named[3651]: could not configure root hints from 'named.root': file not found
Mar 6 03:31:12 cubed named[3651]: loading configuration: file not found

Now, this error goes away once I specify the BIND ROOTDIR to be /var/named/chroot. BIND loads with no errors.

The only problem is that zone records are stored under /var/named/run-root/var and setting the BIND ROOTDIR to /var/named/chroot (so BIND will load successfully) results in the zone files not being loaded, ergo DNS requests become meaningless.

How can I fix my system so that I get no errors when using the default ROOTDIR of /var/named/run-root?

Thanks in advance.
