Bind: Zone not loaded due to errors

  • 772

I'm very new to this and I have been trying to set up a DNS server but I'm keep getting the following error when I type systemctl status named.service:

zone 30.168.192.in.addr.arpa/IN: not loaded due to an error _default/30.168.192.in.addr.arpa/IN: no owner

I have followed this video step by step, but I still get the same error: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=052Txlzk_7w

Linked the video since I cannot copy my files as I am using VMware. edit: images db.30.168.192.in.addr.arpa.zone

db.aumentity2d.com

  1. What you currently have is

    $TTL 1W

      IN      SOA     aumentity3d.com.        root.aumentity3d.com. (
      3        ; serial
      1W       ; refresh after 1 week
      1D       ; retry after 1 day
      28D      ; expire after 4 weeks
      1W )    
@     IN NS  aumentity3d.com.
aumentity3d.com IN A 192.168.241.141

    That looks nicely lined out but is incorrect.

    There is no name before the SOA record. That should be

    @     IN      SOA     ns1.example.com.        hostmaster.example.com. (

    Where the @ is zone file shorthand. It will be replaced by the name of the zone, or whatever zone name you would set in the $ORIGIN variable.

    Then there are several other things you should be aware of:

    • Whenever a hostname is unqualified, the name server will convert it to a fully qualified domain name by appending the zone name / $ORIGIN. FQDN's are terminated with a . dot.
      This allows a zone administrator to use shorthand, rather than writing out my-host.example.com. they can use my-host

    In other words:

    aumentity3d.com IN A 192.168.241.141 is missing the trailing . behind the .com and will be therefor be converted to the FQDN aumentity3d.com.30.168.192.in.addr.arpa.

    • When you're using shorthand, it is good practice to explicitly define $ORIGIN.

    Change your db.30.168.192.in.addr.arpa.zone file to:

    $TTL 1W
$ORIGIN 30.168.192.in.addr.arpa.

@    IN      SOA     aumentity3d.com.        root.aumentity3d.com. (
      3        ; serial
      1W       ; refresh after 1 week
      1D       ; retry after 1 day
      28D      ; expire after 4 weeks
      1W )    
@                IN NS  aumentity3d.com.
aumentity3d.com. IN A   192.168.241.141
141              IN PTR aumentity3d.com.
