Any ETA for 5.3?

I just installed a new FreeBSD 5.3 box 92+ hours ago with DA. I'm having trouble because my domain name refuses to propogate to the server. Everything is correct on the server end and everything is correct on the DNS end.

I contacted DA and got the following ideas:
-------
Try restarting named.

killall -9 named
named -u named
-------
I got some errors with those commands:
------
panther# killall -9 named
No matching processes were found
panther# named -u named
named: user 'named' unknown
------

Any suggestions on what I can do? I tried to copy and conf file as described in the other thread and that has not helped.

killall -9 named will not restart named, although I guess you was told to do that so DA would restart it on its minutely checks.

Looks like the issue here is you probably have named chrooted and its causing problems with Directadmin, also could be you havent created a rndc key file yet. Check /var/log/messages for named startup errors, if there is none then there has been no proper attempts to start named on your machine and you should add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf.

named_enable="YES"
named_program="/usr/local/sbin/named"
named_flags="-c /etc/namedb/named.conf -u bind"
named_chrootdir=""
named_pidfile="/etc/namedb/named.pid"

copy /etc/rc.d/named to /usr/local/etc/rc.d as well

Now make sure /etc/namedb exists and all files inside are owned by bind, then check you have a rndc key if not run rndc-keygen and finally try starting named /usr/local/etc/rc,d/named start.

rndc status
to check if all is well
