URGENT: Running cPanel server and your own nameservers? READ

jaxkukmo · 2006-07-21, 06:41 AM

cPanels latest update has resulting in the failure of BIND on many servers. If you are running your own nameservers, your server will be unable to resolve up2date to FIX the bind problem.

I have a server at The Planet/Servermatrix which was affected by this at midnight.

CHECK YOUR SERVERS ARE UNAFFECTED.

My domains were not resolving on the affected server and was fixed by doing the following :-

(ONLY DO IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE ON THE COMMANDLINE - AT YOUR OWN RISK)

The solution for me was to :-

backup /etc/resolv.conf

add to the top of resolv.conf the ip of a working nameserver, being at theplanet I used :-

Code:

nameserver 70.87.7.70

Save resolv.conf

Then run

Code:

up2date -u bind-libs

If completes the update successfully

Code:

service named restart

Problem fixed. Use at your own risk! If you are NOT used to working via ssh on your server, you need to get somebody to do this for you, or submit a support ticket with your support provider.
