Server Admin – DNS issue

[stmoddell]

So I upgraded my 10.2 server to 10.3. Most everything has gone well, but my DNS seems to be a bit wonky.

First, this error is constant. In Server Admin, whenever it goes to check on DSN status, I get;
Try to refresh the view (leonardo/DNS). Report the problem to the administrator if it persists. (ìservermgr_dnsî server-side plugin may have crashed)
I can’t reinstall Admin Tools, because the ones I have “are newer than the ones you are attempting to install”

Now I know that DNS is running, it had been successfully running for over a year, but with the upgrade I started to get errors and it would quit. I fixed the errors, by uncommenting the controls at the top of named.conf. controls {
unix “/var/run/ndc” perm 0600 owner 0 group 0;
inet 127.0.0.1 port 54 allow {any; };
};
I see an error or two from “unix” and am wondering if that is correct?

Other than that my DNS appears to be running and replicating changes from my primary DNS just fine. Also dig returns correct info.

Any thoughts about these two issues? ❓

So my DNS config was not quite as correct as I thought. It had issues as it had come forward thru BIND 8 versions. Lacked some items that is should have had.

I diffed my files with the info provided here http://www.tester.kicks-ass.net/dns2/dns.php once I added what was missing I had much more luck.
