The concerning issue was there was no error on the logs at all, making it hard to figure out the issue. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Which leads me to the next question, let’s say I’m authoritative for regular zone ABC.com and I fat fingered its DNS record, ns1..something.com. Why would this affect the bind instance from starting up? Like I said there was nothing on the logs and I understand that might be due to the Centos PKG itself. Just wondering why that mistake down bind down and how I can get more meaningful logs on the logs even those a prepackaged bind version. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>TIA<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Paul<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> bind-users <bind-users-bounces@lists.isc.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Paul Amaral via bind-users<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, March 15, 2022 9:08 AM<br><b>To:</b> 'bind-users@lists.isc.org' <bind-users@isc.org><br><b>Subject:</b> Chroot Bind failed to start <o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Hi, I realize this is related to Centos, but all the sudden chroot bind failed to start up with any meaningful errors.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Anyone know what might be the issue here?
