17.7 Legacy Series / [SOLVED] Unbound does not start with root.hints file
« on: December 17, 2017, 06:24:04 am »
Dear all,
It's the first time I do setup my own firewall. sorry for the perhaps obvious question.
I did read in the internet e.g. https://calomel.org/unbound_dns.html that for unbound you should use a root.hints file.
I downloaded the file
curl ftp://FTP.INTERNIC.NET/domain/named.cache -o /var/unbound/root.hints
And added in the custom options.
root-hints: /var/unbound/root.hints
After saving and restarting unbound, unbound does not reset. Red square in the upper right corner
Changing the login level to 5 doesn't show any hint why it does not start up.
The last entry is reading /root.hints.
Deleting the custom options, unbound does startup without any problem.
What do I do wrong?
Thanks a lot for the help.
