Monit and bind9 on Debian etch Problem

[Dimitar Dobrev]

Hello All

I have a small problem configuring monit to monitor my bind server on the
local machine.
I have configured monit according
http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/doc/examples.php and my current environment
(pid files paths e.t.c.) - everything works except BIND

In the monit web interface i get:

Status  Connection failed
Port Response time  connection failed to 127.0.0.1:53 [DNS via UDP]
Port Response time  connection failed to 127.0.0.1:53 [DNS via TCP]

In the log files i get:

Aug 10 11:44:25 ns1 monit[16264]: DNS: no answer records returned 
Aug 10 11:44:25 ns1 monit[16264]: 'named' failed protocol test [DNS] at
INET[127.0.0.1:53] via UDP 
Aug 10 11:44:25 ns1 monit[16264]: DNS: no answer records returned 
Aug 10 11:44:25 ns1 monit[16264]: 'named' failed protocol test [DNS] at
INET[127.0.0.1:53] via TCP

I have double checked that bind is running - it is running and the pid file
is also there and the paths in the monitrc are also correct. What could be
the reason of this? I have also tried with the real IP and the FQDN of the
server - its always the same - Connection failed

Any ideas?

Thank you!
