I am having trouble working on getting a Primary DNS server going on Ubuntu. I am just learning how this stuff works. I do plan on getting my project completed once I get my Windows Server switched over to Ubuntu Server. The problem I am having is it isn't fully starting up. I am trying to follow the offical documentation from the Ubuntu Website. I am pretty sure I'm not understanding it all the way. I am running 13.10, and using this guide, for Ubuntu Server 10.10; I don't know if this would make any difference or not. I don't think 10.10 is supported anymore anyway. Here is my current configureation currently.
forwarders {
192.168.128.100;
192.168.128.1;
};
;
; BIND data file for local loopback interface
;
$TTL 604800
@ IN SOA ns.SKULL.LOCAL root.SKULL.LOCAL (
2 ; Serial
604800 ; Refresh
86400 ; Retry
2419200 ; Expire
604800 ) ; Negative Cache TTL
;
@ IN NS ns.SKULL.LOCAL
@ IN A 127.0.0.1
@ IN AAAA ::1
ns IN A 192.168.128.90
I tried to restart BIND9 using this configuration, but it failed to restart. The error I got was
*stopping domain name service... BIND9
rndc: connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953: connection refused
[ok]
*starting domain name service... BIND9 [fail]
I am thinking it could be dealing with the configuration, though I do have a primary DNS going on my Windows Server currently acting as the primary DNS Server right now for my network. I don't know if that will have any effect or not. I am working on setting a VLAN up on my switch, but haven't had any luck on that.
