Bind upgrade producing errors on pfsense 2.5 upgrade

[wrgraves]

Might be a problem in our configs. Hope to have an extra box tomorrow night so I can build a fresh install and load my config sometime after that. I can't take down my failed box. Have uninstalled Bind and turned on unbound and switched to Bind on another box until this is resolved.

[matthijs]

FYI I already did a fresh install and restored my configuration, same problem

[wrgraves]

@matthijs did bind work before you installed your config ?

[matthijs]

I have a working 2.4.5 VM running (with no bind problems), If I upgrade to 2.5 I have bind issues.
I also did a fresh 2.5.0 install and restored my 2.4.5 configuration, in both situations I have bind issues

[matthijs]

I also have ACME implemented with Bind/DNS, so I have ACME keys in Global Settings (main configuration menu - > Advanced Options button) Maybe this is something in common with other people also having issues with bind and 2.5.0 ?

[wrgraves]

@matthijs I was asking if you tried to install and test Bind on a fresh install of 2.5 before your loaded your config into it ?

[matthijs]

@wrgraves No I did not do a fresh bind install on a fresh 2.5.0 install (I guess that works fine, like in your situation?)

After upgrade to 2.5. Simple run: /usr/local/sbin/named -4 -c /etc/namedb/named.conf -u bind -t /cf/named/ result is Segmentation fault.

I'm using common bind setup - 1 view, 2 zones, 4 ACLs, No Sync.

[wrgraves]

@matthijs I have not done that yet. It would take too much downtime. I have a spare system on order that is do tomorrow. Once that's available I should be able to build a stand alone system and try that.

[matthijs]

@wrgraves
I guess that would work, but I am hoping a full manual reconfiguration of my bind/acme setup with all the dns zones wont be necessary ;-)

[anthonypants]

@wrgraves I mentioned it earlier, but if you run named from the console and don't give it the configuration file, it seems to work fine.

/usr/local/sbin/named -4 -c /etc/namedb/named.conf -u bind -t /cf/named/ works fine for me

Could you provide your views/zones/acls configuration?
You can hide your private data by changing domain/IP.

Same issue after upgrade to 2.5.0
unable to start bind

[wrgraves]

@viktor_g Ok, brought up a test machine and installed a fresh pfsense 2.5 and of course the caching bind config works so I restored my config and of course it gets the segment fault in named and dies so I decided to find an example install for bind, I used this one -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgn4oNy85_o
And as I went thru it I corrected several mistakes in my zones. Then used Status/Services to restart named and it works now. It looks like a bad zone will segment fault and crash your bind. I've been using these zones for years and that never happened in the past. A new feature?
I put the changes in my production machine.
and now I am up!!!

[matthijs]

@viktor_g What mistakes were in your zones ? and how to correct if all this configuration gets generated by the webinterface ?

[horrza]

@wrgraves Thank you!

[horrza]

@matthijs "Name Server" and "Base Domain IP" was the problem in my case.

[matthijs]

@horrza

I cannot understand that is causing the issue in my case these fields will result in the following records in de zone file (fictional IP and FQDN)

@ IN NS nameserver.fqdn.com.
@ IN A 1.1.1.1

@matthijs

I did as shown in the video on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgn4oNy85_o&t=337s
