Hi,

Bind from network repo dosn’t start by default at openSUE 13.1:


#systemctl start named.service
Job for named.service failed. See 'systemctl status named.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

Does anyone have any idea?

and is it a good idea to use bind from this repo at a production server?

Well, it cannot read the configuration, I’d say.
Maybe have a look whether there’s a bind/named log file in /var/log that might tell what exactly the problem is.

and is it a good idea to use bind from this repo at a production server?

No idea. But why would you want to do that, and not just use the one included in 13.1?
AFAICS they are the same version anyway at the moment.

The network repo is a development project for Factory (i.e. the next openSUSE version), so might break any time.
If you want a stable version, better stay with the released packages.

The log file says the same, only:

loading configuration: failure

That’s what I thought. I will use the one included in 13.1.
Thanks
