[webmin-l] [1.310] BIND problems

[Joaquim H. <jo...@we...>]

In the BIND module configuration, everything looks right, and Webmin does not complain about anything. But when I try to add a BIND monitor, it claims the service is stopped. The pid file is there (and "live"), the executables are there, the data directory is there (Webmin can properly list all zones and what not), etc. But for some reason, it thinks the daemon is not active.. ?

What am I doing wrong? :-)

Is the PID file location specified in the BIND module config (Webmin)?

I just checked the code for this, and I see the cause - Webmin's status monitor
module doesn't handle the case where BIND is running in a chroot directory. I'll
fix that in the next release ..

The work-around is to create a 'Running Process' monitor that looks for a named
process.
