Bind: Zone not loaded due to errors

cn flag
Eina

I'm very new to this and I have been trying to set up a DNS server but I'm keep getting the following error when I type systemctl status named.service:

zone 30.168.192.in.addr.arpa/IN: not loaded due to an error _default/30.168.192.in.addr.arpa/IN: no owner

I have followed this video step by step, but I still get the same error: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=052Txlzk_7w

Linked the video since I cannot copy my files as I am using VMware. edit: images db.30.168.192.in.addr.arpa.zone

db.aumentity2d.com

When creating zone files be aware that starting a line with a whitespace has special meaning and may cause errors or have unintended consequences

Does this answer your question? [no current owner name error when running named-checkzone on both forward and reverse](https://serverfault.com/questions/798031/no-current-owner-name-error-when-running-named-checkzone-on-both-forward-and-rev)

In this image the soa record does start with a space or tab https://i.stack.imgur.com/NbDFg.png not with a zone name or @ shorthand for the zone

a tab, every item in that line starts with a tab, expect for the root

And starting the line with a tab is equally wrong as starting the line with a space. Also be careful to ensure that FQDN’s must be terminated with a dot `.` or the will be considered shorthand and bind will append the zone name ,

Lines in zone files start with a resource record name such as `example.com.` or `my-host.example.com.` or shorthand versions `@` or `my-host` See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_file

By convention people do not write the soa record as a single line , there they separate the record in several subsequent lines . The Wikipedia article shows both . But you have a line `tab IN SOA ...` that should be `@ IN SOA`

What you currently have is

$TTL 1W

      IN      SOA     aumentity3d.com.        root.aumentity3d.com. (
      3        ; serial
      1W       ; refresh after 1 week
      1D       ; retry after 1 day
      28D      ; expire after 4 weeks
      1W )    
@     IN NS  aumentity3d.com.
aumentity3d.com IN A 192.168.241.141

That looks nicely lined out but is incorrect.

There is no name before the SOA record. That should be

@     IN      SOA     ns1.example.com.        hostmaster.example.com. (

Where the @ is zone file shorthand. It will be replaced by the name of the zone, or whatever zone name you would set in the $ORIGIN variable.

Then there are several other things you should be aware of:

  • Whenever a hostname is unqualified, the name server will convert it to a fully qualified domain name by appending the zone name / $ORIGIN. FQDN's are terminated with a . dot.
    This allows a zone administrator to use shorthand, rather than writing out my-host.example.com. they can use my-host

In other words:

aumentity3d.com IN A 192.168.241.141 is missing the trailing . behind the .com and will be therefor be converted to the FQDN aumentity3d.com.30.168.192.in.addr.arpa.

  • When you're using shorthand, it is good practice to explicitly define $ORIGIN.

Change your db.30.168.192.in.addr.arpa.zone file to:

$TTL 1W
$ORIGIN 30.168.192.in.addr.arpa.

@    IN      SOA     aumentity3d.com.        root.aumentity3d.com. (
      3        ; serial
      1W       ; refresh after 1 week
      1D       ; retry after 1 day
      28D      ; expire after 4 weeks
      1W )    
@                IN NS  aumentity3d.com.
aumentity3d.com. IN A   192.168.241.141
141              IN PTR aumentity3d.com.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
