How to fix a corrupted named.conf in WHM/cPanel

ometimes named.conf gets corrupted on cPanel server.

You can see that by creating a DNS report with http://massivedns.com and your nameservers records do not have any IP addresses listed .

Here is the way to fix that in cpanel servers.

First of all move the corrupted named.conf using the following command

root@cpanelserver[~]# mv /etc/named.conf /etc/named.conf.bak

Now simply execute the cpanel script to rebuild the named.conf

root@cpanelserver[~]# /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/rebuilddnsconfig

And restart the named service:

root@cpanelserver[~]#/etc/init.d/named restart

All should be fine again
