8.3.3 Bind Upgrade



This document explains how to upgrade your Bind to version 8.3.3 with latest security patches.

  1. Log into your control panel server as root:
    su -
  2. Download the bind package from the psoft site:
    wget http://www.psoft.net/shiv/bind/u-bind-8_3_3-1.tgz
  3. Unpack the contents of the downloaded archive:
    tar zxf u-bind-8_3_3-1.tgz
  4. Enter the unpacked directory:
    cd u-bind-8_3_3-1
  5. For a quick upgrade, simply run:
    make install
    and you're done.
  6. Alternatively, you can do the subsequent steps to monitor each stage of the upgrade:

  7. Type make boxes. This will generate list_dns.txt with IPs of your servers running bind.
  8. If you wish, you can edit this file to remove the IPs of servers you don't want to upgrade.
  9. Type make dns to update bind on the servers in list_dns.txt.
