Thanks for the info….
@Rob: You need to put your own IP Addresses

By the way, you should type “service named restart” (RE start, no start)

Bye!

Once I’ve got this up and running is there any simple way to add hosts and back pointers from the command line? Or do I have to create all of the information by hand for every host?

What about this part:

ns1 IN A 192.168.2.11
www IN A 192.168.2.50
ftp IN A 192.168.2.100

Which IPS do I place here, or do I use these ones?

Ctrl + W is search, Ctrl+O is save Ctrl+X exit with save dialog

You are getting error since mydomain.com.db file does not exist. This probably occured since this tutorial has a typo error.

The tutorial tell you to do “nano /var/named/linuxgravity.com” and create this new file. But the filename is wrong. It should be “nano /var/named/linuxgravity.com.db”. In your case, you should do “nano /var/named/mydomain.com.db”.

This should fix your problem and good luck.

Starting named:
Error in named configuration:
zone localhost/IN: loaded serial 42
zone mydomain.com/IN: loading master file mydomain.com.db: file not found

how to create db file for my domain?

It’s very urgent for me as well. So instead of muddling through it myself, “AGAIN” I copied this tutorial verbatim.”except for the NANO stuff,” Changed the domain names to mine. Changed the IP’s “if you missed that one you need lot’s of help” and I’m back up in five minutes instead of hours.

Thanks,
Pete G
P.S. I do think you should have gone ahead for those who need it and explicitly stated the changes needed, “IP and Domain” etc.
Also your stated use of NANO is totally unclear. I don’t use NANO but I copied your text with highlight and copy and pasted into a clean file in VI.
