Hi,

I am setting up a Bind installation (9.11.0) on a Windows 2016 server.

And i having problem with creating the zon file.

Correction it do not create the zon file at all. (And the system give no error)

The system is creating the first step in named.conf so something is happening.

And when i click enable DNS second time for that domain it says

DNS Zone already exists on the target service.(This is ofcourse because of the entry in named.conf)

 

I cant find any documentation about the setup for bind and Solidcp, do you have any?

Is there any Default template file somewhere  that im missing or what?

Hello,

 

Sorry for the delay. I will put this on my list to check and get back to you.

 

Can i ask is there a reason you use Bind and not Microsoft DNS?

 

Thanks,

Hi,

I gave up on BIND and tried Microsoft DNS and that works great.  (what i can see right now with 2 DNS servers on the same network, but im going to install a 3 one outside, so lets see if that is going to work also)

Well the reason was that i wanted to have small VPS outside my network and it was logic to have Linux servers for that because of Microsoft overhead of things. And in BIND you can have recursive DNS on networks that you trust and thats ridiculus that Microsoft dont have that option... Or they just want to sell another licens for a server for that.

 

Regards

The BIND-Provider look pretty much "abandoned".
SRV-Records do not work and the "Create Zone"/"Reload Zone" code is also buggy - it will not work for batch-files.
As we need the BIND-provider (for several reasons) I will have a look into fixing it.
