Bind doesn't work after reinstall it

Katoz

Maybe I misunderstood what you told me before but I did this:

-Uninstalled Bind from the GUI
-I checked if there were still files related to Bind in /usr/local/pkg
-I modified the configuration file and removed the lines
-Restore the file

Then I installed Bind again but nothing has changed and continues to throw errors, I did it immediately after the message from @kiokoman but I forgot to press "Submit"

kiokoman

i give you the list of all the files installed by bind
first uninstall from the gui f you can
then check if all this file are deleted:

check for this file/folder and delete them

I only found /usr/local/share/licenses/bind-tools-9.12.2P1 but it was not in the list, I delete it anyway?

kiokoman

bah it will be reinstalled anyway. most importantly.. the problem is not caused by bind leftover..

so let's see what that 305 lines do...

// Config Zone domain
	// Add ACLS
bla bla bla
array("name" => "none", "description" => "BIND Built-in ACL", "row" => array("value" => "", "description" => ""));

are you sure you have deleted
<bind></bind>
<bindzone></bindzone>
<bindviews></bindviews>
from the config ?
it is failing to configure the array for "BIND Built-in ACL" that should be inside the config

you should search for "bind" in all your config.

there are 2 ways to repair this. the ease one and the time consuming one

the ease one but less fun .. would be to select a previusly working config. like the one done before installing bind.
Diagnostics- > Backup & Restore -> Config History

Katoz

I'm sure I've deleted those lines, there are others but they are:

<squidguardgeneral>
			<config>
				<squidguard_enable>on</squidguard_enable>
				<ldap_enable></ldap_enable>
				<ldapbinddn></ldapbinddn>

<darkstat>
			<config>
				<enable>on</enable>
				<capture_interfaces>lan,opt1,wan</capture_interfaces>
				<bind_interfaces></bind_interfaces>
				<port>666</port>

<revision>

		<description><![CDATA[(system): Removed bind package.]]></description>
		<username>(system)</username>

I have no idea when I installed Bind, I have been trying to make it work for months and in any case Config History only goes up to today at noon.
I assume the problem is the configuration file so even if I did a clean install of Pfsense and restore the file the problem remains

kiokoman

check if you have something like this

	<bindacls>
		<config>
			<name>none</name>
			<description><![CDATA[BIND Built-in ACL]]></description>
			<row>
				<value></value>
				<description></description>
			</row>
			<row>
				<value></value>
				<description></description>
			</row>
		</config>
		<config>
			<name>any</name>
			<description><![CDATA[BIND Built-in ACL]]></description>
			<row></row>
			<row></row>
		</config>
		<config>
			<name>localhost</name>
			<description><![CDATA[BIND Built-in ACL]]></description>
			<row></row>
			<row></row>
		</config>
		<config>
			<name>localnets</name>
			<description><![CDATA[BIND Built-in ACL]]></description>
			<row></row>
			<row></row>
		</config>
	</bindacls>

Katoz

there is only <bindacls></bindacls>

kiokoman

on a clean system i have this where i never installed bind afaik
pls add this to your config

	<bindacls>
		<config>
			<name>none</name>
			<description><![CDATA[BIND Built-in ACL]]></description>
			<row></row>
			<row></row>
		</config>
		<config>
			<name>any</name>
			<description><![CDATA[BIND Built-in ACL]]></description>
			<row></row>
			<row></row>
		</config>
		<config>
			<name>localhost</name>
			<description><![CDATA[BIND Built-in ACL]]></description>
			<row></row>
			<row></row>
		</config>
		<config>
			<name>localnets</name>
			<description><![CDATA[BIND Built-in ACL]]></description>
			<row></row>
			<row></row>
		</config>
	</bindacls>

It worked! I changed the configuration file and installed bind and now appears in the services menu. Now I just have to see if it really works but I'm too tired, I'll do it tomorrow.

In the meantime, thank you all for helping me :)

kiokoman

good.. for all my hard work don't forget to press "thumb up"
