I'm running into a snag. I had been running 9.2.3 under the Local System
account. Installing 9.3.1, it created a local user account 'named' and I
set a password. Starting up, BIND threw the following error:
28-Sep-2005 16:40:00.888 general: critical: couldn't open pid file
'C:\WINNT\System32\dns\etc\named.pid': File exists
28-Sep-2005 16:40:00.888 general: critical: exiting (due to early fatal
error)
I deleted the named.pid file, then received this one:
28-Sep-2005 16:40:12.279 general: critical: couldn't open pid file
'C:\WINNT\System32\dns\etc\named.pid': Permission denied
28-Sep-2005 16:40:12.279 general: critical: exiting (due to early fatal
error)
Should the installer have set the necessary permissions, or is this left
to the user? I installed the new version while logged in under a domain
admininstrator account.
