Lightbulb The DNS files, where are located?
Hello, please where are located DNS files on various linux distributions?
Mainly im interested in CentOS (RedHat) and Ubuntu (Debian).

I mean i will be changing IPs and i have registered nameservers on my domain registar and it points to OLD IP, so i need to know in which files to edit on various distros.. ?

After move, i assume i need to change IP in domain registar (or reduce some TTL?), then edit DNS files on my server, and there comes my question... Image

/etc/named.conf contains the location of DNS zone files.

Signal
/etc/named.conf
/etc/bind

does not exist, but my domain resolves and working

instead i found this:
Quote:
# ls /var/named/chroot/var/named
data localdomain.zone named.broadcast named.ip6.local named.zero
mydomainhere.com localhost.zone named.ca named.local slaves
Are there please any more locations/files i need to change so my websites work after Ip change?

On RHEL and it's downstream derivatives (CentOS, etc), BIND stores its configuration files in the following locations:
Code:
/etc/named.conf
    The configuration file for the named daemon 
/var/named/ 
    The named working directory which stores zone, statistic, and cache files

If you have a chrooted BIND setup, as configured by the bind-chroot package, the BIND service will run in the /var/named/chroot environment. All configuration files will be moved there. For example, named.conf will be located in /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf, and so on.
