DNS not resolving in r932

[genesisrage]

just installed r932 (29/11/07) on a fresh system.
on r912 DNS was working and resolving names correctly from server, and remotely. but now nothing is being resolved not even from the localhost.

example, wofjwof.com redirected to the correct ip address and ispcp displayed the correct webpage, not wofjwof.com will not resolve to an ip address, not even on the server itself.

im fairly new with dns, so i have no clue on how or where to look for what might be causing this problem.

any help would be greatly appriciated!

What do you get when running this on the server:

dig @localhost wofjwof.com

of course with your domain name...
if you give us the the real domain name then we can help (you also can send such infos in a PM)

/J

[genesisrage]

# dig @localhost wofjwof.com

Code:

; <<>> DiG 9.3.4 <<>> @localhost wofjwof.com
; (1 server found)
;; global options:  printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

and btw "wofjwof.com" is the actual domain name
this is the same output if i dig "genesisrage.vps" the actual hostname of the server.

ok, is your DNS running?

ps aux | grep bind

or just

/etc/init.d/bind9 restart

and retry...

[genesisrage]

yup that was the problem, for some reason bind9 was no longer in any of my runlevels

# update-rc.d bind9 default

got it put into rc2.d, but not sure if its proper to use default settings, not sure if it needs to be started after another process or not.

I have S15bind9 in rc2 - rc5 and K85bind9 in rc0, rc1 and rc6
