Welcome to the forums

You are reporting no MX or A record for your ZCS server so you will need to setup a Wiki :: Split DNS architecture. Also note that as you are on a *NIX based system it is better to keep everything to lowercase

Hi, I follow the instructions and i cant config the named service.
This is the error:
[root@safafiles init.d]# ./named start
Iniciando named:
Error en la configuración de named:
zone safafiles.safa.edu.uy/IN: loading master file db.safafiles.safa.edu.uy: file not found
_default/safafiles.safa.edu.uy/IN: file not found [FALLÓ]

I had this files:

[root@safafiles etc]# cat /etc/named.conf
options {
directory "/var/named";
dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
forwarders { 10.11.0.1 ; };
};
include "/etc/rndc.key";
zone "safafiles.safa.edu.uy" {
type master;
file "db.safafiles.safa.edu.uy";
};

[root@safafiles named]# cat db.safafiles.safa.edu.uy

;

IN NS 10.11.0.3
IN A 10.11.0.3
IN MX 10 safafiles.safa.edu.uy

I take your tip and i modified the names in lowercase..

[root@safafiles named]# cat /etc/resolv.conf
search safafiles.safa.edu.uy
nameserver 10.11.0.3
nameserver 10.11.0.1
nameserver 10.11.0.2
domain safa.edu.uy
[root@safafiles named]#
************************************************** ****
[root@safafiles named]# cat /etc/hosts

10.11.0.1 safafiles.safa.edu.uy safafiles
[root@safafiles named]#
************************************************** ******
[root@safafiles named]# cat /etc/hostname
safafiles.safa.edu.uy


Any Idea what hap? The file db.safafiles.safa.edu.uy is in /etc/named/chroot/var/named/ with a simbolic link to /var/named/

Thanks,

Hi, I can fix the problem in the installation on the named service. I was re-install bind package only and worked all rigth.

My problema now is the follow, when i finish the installation result this error:

Setting defaults... MX: safafiles.safa.edu.uy (10.11.0.1)

Interface: 10.11.0.3
Interface: 127.0.0.1
10.11.0.1
10.11.0.1


DNS ERROR - none of the MX records for safafiles.safa.edu.uy
resolve to this host

After this the installation was sucesfully. I can start up all the services and the web console administration.
I create some users, but the domain name is safafiles.safa.edu.uy rather that safa.edu.uy. Any idea what can i fix it?

Another thing is im try to check the users web mail and only i have the admin console. Which is the direccion to check the mails propertly?

Thanks,
JhonV
