Topic: Bind 9 on unmanaged server. (CentOS) Configuration help.

This being my first unmanaged server i have to set up bind my self, hence i wgeted it and installed using default configuration

./configure
make
make install

But now when i go to start the server i receive this:

[root@vps100 bind-9.3.2]# rndc start
-bash: /usr/sbin/rndc: No such file or directory

Any one know what i should do?

Re: Bind 9 on unmanaged server. (CentOS) Configuration help.

Isn't there a RPM package of Bind9 available for Red Hat/CentOS? -> then you don't have to build.
I'm guessing here that you don't have some files, probably configuration files, that are needed for rndc.

downloaded and did this:

[root@vps100 ~]# rpm -i bind-9.2.4-7_EL3.i386.rpm
warning: bind-9.2.4-7_EL3.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 025e513b

I did not how ever uninstall any of where i installed it before (not sure how tbh). Hence its still running off the previous install (9.3 whereas the RPM is 9.2) So how do i fully remove the previous install?

[root@vps100 ~]# rndc status
rndc: connect failed: connection refused
[root@vps100 ~]# rndc start
rndc: connect failed: connection refused
