DNS: The selected log file does not exist

Hi to all,

I am using Lion Server on a Mac Mini and everything seems to work fine. However, when I want to check my DNS log file (Server Admin > DNS > Log) I get a message that "The selected log file does not exist"! Stopping and starting the DNS service doesn't help. Anyone any idee how to view the log file within the Server Admin app?

Thanks in advance!

Ewald.

Thanks Espen, this worked for me too.

BTW, Admin Tools are looking for the logfile in /Library/Logs/named.
