Instructions for iBIND 8 and 9

Step 1. Download the iBIND version of your choice:

  1. Unpack the package after downloading. Type:
    tar xzvf ibind-9.1.3-IDNS.tar.gz

    or (if your "tar" program does not support option "z")
    gunzip ibind-9.1.3-IDNS.tar.gz
    tar xvf ibind-9.1.3-IDNS.tar

Step 2. Testing iBIND

After you have compiled iBIND, do a test to see if it is working properly.

  1. Make sure that there is no named running. If named is running, you may use ndc stop or simply do a ps to look for the processID and kill the process.

  2. Next, cd to the directory where the new named is located.

    • If your operating system is RedHat Linux version 7.1, type:
      cd RedHat71

    • If you are not running as root, su first and then start named. Type:
      ./named

  3. In order to test the new named, you will require a registered multilingual domain name. We have prepared a test package that contains a set of sample domain names in several native encodings.

    Download the test-package here

    • After downloading, expand the file. Type:
      tar zxvf ibind-testpackage-CURRENT.tar.gz

      or (if your "tar" program does not support option "z")

      gunzip ibind-testpackage-CURRENT.tar.gz
      tar xvf ibind-testpackage-CURRENT.tar

  4. Next, change directory into the testpackage directory. In there, you will find a directory called URLs. This directory is further broken down into several sub-directories where you can find sample multilingual domain names, all of which are registered URLs that can be used to carry out your test.

    • Change directory to any directory of your choice and type:
      dig `cat ` @localhost
      eg: cd URLs/big5
      dig `cat www.i-dns.net` @localhost

Step 3. Installing iBIND

  1. Type:
    cp ./named /usr/sbin/named (or any other directory that you want to put your DNS server in)
    This will copy binaries to the corresponding locations.
