Hi, actually I have not set up any configuration files. And I dont know where to find them, if they exist automatically. I have looked in /etc but found no config file there. there are no log files in /var or /var/log. I think I need to set them up manually, but 1) I dont know where to place them after I create them 2) I dont know the format that UNBOUND uses. Any links to the format will sure be a help... thanks :) On Fri, May 23, 2008 at 6:17 PM, Harshath JR <harshath.jr at gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello all > > I have compiled unbound 1.0.0 on my computer but I am having problems > figuring out > 1) why i am unable to start the server. > when I execute the 'unbound' binary located at /usr/local/sbin I get the > error > [1211546833] unbound[2695:0] error: can't create socket: Address family not > supported by protocol > [1211546833] unbound[2695:0] fatal error: could not open ports > > I have root access to the machine, and the command has been executed as > root user. > > 2) what configuration files need to be in place before starting the server? > > Please point me in the right direction > > Thanks :) > -- > Harshath > +91-979-33313-05 -- Harshath +91-979-33313-05 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
