Could not listen on UDP socket : permission denied

Hi

I am trying to install Bind 9.2.3 on Winxp pro - after the comand prompt named - g I get an error

Could not listen on UDP socket : permission denied
creating IPv4 interface loopback Interface 1 failed; Interface ignored

Could not listen on UDP socket : permission denied
creating IPv4 interface loopback Interface 2 failed; Interface ignored

not listening on any interfaces
couldn't add command channel 127.0.0.1#953: permission denied

Would some one please point me in the right direction to resolve the errors.

Thanks

let's make sure nothing is using those ports first. Do this at the command prompt.

C:\>netstat -an | find "53"

paste for the me results.

C:\>netstat -an | find "53"
TCP 127.0.0.1:53 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 127.0.0.1:953 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING

Check out TreeWalk - makes installing BIND on MS Windows a lot lot lot simpler - just run the installer and go.

I recommend shutting down BIND which is undoubtedly already using those ports. It looks like you're trying to start a second instance of the program. You'll have to kill off the process from your task list.

Thanks Silent Rage that resolved that problem, just won't become authoritive now, probably some thing to do with the the report after named -g stating none of the files at top of zone.

yes, named.conf needs to be configured correctly in order for the -g option to display loading zone messages. If you think you have configured named.conf properly then I suggest looking for other named.conf files on your system. BIND supports something called "chroot" which increases your security from future BIND exploits if discovered.

All fixed thanks Silent Rage, just a router problem now.
