One of the dedicated servers that I have does not seem to have the service 'named' functional:
root@server2 [~]# service named start
Locating /var/named/chroot//etc/named.conf failed:
[FAILED]
Note that the double slashes (//) ARE part of the output as well as the long gap before [FAILED] appears.
This 'named' service not being functional is not a problem which is preventing the server / the application on it from working, but I'm wondering if this is a serious issue?
There are entries in /etc/resolv.conf though.
Are you intending on using the machine as a DNS server? – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams – 2010-10-11T10:16:36.003
Hi Ignacio - no, not at all... – siliconpi – 2010-10-11T10:24:55.120
Unless you're using it as a name server, you don't need named. I suspect it was just never installed because it's not needed. Ignacio, you might post that as an answer to Matt can accept it. – CarlF – 2010-10-11T12:19:51.987
