Bind error

[gerwim]

Hi there,

So without making a backup of my named.conf.options I copied and pasted it from another options file (another server, Debian 5 (lenny)) to Debian 6 (Squeeze).

When trying to start bind it gives me:
Starting domain name service...: bind9 failed!

My named.conf.options (nothing very special):

options {
        directory "/var/cache/bind";

        // If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
        // to talk to, you may need to fix the firewall to allow multiple
        // ports to talk.  See http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/800113

        // If your ISP provided one or more IP addresses for stable
        // nameservers, you probably want to use them as forwarders.
        // Uncomment the following block, and insert the addresses replacing
        // the all-0's placeholder.

        // forwarders {
        //      0.0.0.0;
        // };

        auth-nxdomain no;    # conform to RFC1035
        listen-on-v6 { any; };
}

Can anyone tell me either how to rebuild bind, to fix this or point me out in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

What does the error log say?

Thanks, using grep named /var/log/syslog I got the error:

/etc/bind/named.conf:10: missing ';' before 'include'


(seemed I needed }; instead of } (last line of the config file)).

You should have both:
