Bind doesn't run

CriptoP · Sep 15, 2014

Hi!

We have a new VPS with plesk 12.0.18 in ubuntu 14.04.

When we install DNS BIND9 support this service doesn't start and don't work.

We check that the service are started with /opt/psa/admin/bin/dnsmng --status and they said "is stopped", if try to start manually can't initialize and doesn't listen in port 53 and doesn't show any error menssage.

Any idea, about this?

Thanks.

Any related bind (named) errors in /var/log/messages ?

CriptoP · Sep 17, 2014

mail.none -/var/log/messages

The file it's empty

IgorG · Sep 17, 2014

Sorry, it is /var/log/syslog for Debian-like OSes.

CriptoP · Sep 18, 2014

When i use cat /var/log/syslog | grep named or cat /var/log/syslog | grep bind they have an empty response.

I try to start the bind server in to plesk panel -> configuration -> services and repeat the commands but the log don't show any new entry.

IgorG · Sep 18, 2014

Try to use

# tail -f /var/log/syslog

instead of grep.

Don't appear any reference to bind. i try start the service in the web panel witout changes in log.

UFHH01 · Sep 19, 2014

You could look at netstat, if the bind9 DNS - Server is running:

netstat -ntpl | grep named

If there is no result in your netstat - command, you may try to start/restart the bind9 DNS - server with the command:

service bind9 start

or

service bind9 restart

If you experience that there is no response, please have another look in the logfile "/var/log/syslog" with the command you already used:

tail -f /var/log/syslog

Please reply if you probably have apparmor installed, so we could help you with a short command to change some default bind9 entry there.

CriptoP · Sep 19, 2014

Apparmor is integrated in ubuntu by default. The commands that you write, return a empty result.

Code:

root@h2340962:~# netstat -ntpl | grep named
root@h2340962:~# service bind9 start
root@h2340962:~# netstat -ntpl | grep named
root@h2340962:~# service bind9 restart

o.k. ... then we continue... ^^

Because you should be sure, that apparmor is running, let's ask for the status:

apparmor_status

If you now get a positiv reply, you can give bind9 the rights in apparmor, to run in "complaint" - modus:

aa-complain /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.named

Afterwards, please check, if bind9 NOW starts, like mentioned before.

CriptoP · Sep 20, 2014

Nothing, appormor it's not instaled by default, sorry.

Code:

root@h2340962:~# apparmor_status
-bash: apparmor_status: command not found
root@h2340962:~# aa-complain /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.named
-bash: aa-complain: command not found

UFHH01 · Sep 20, 2014

Well, the command WAS for apparmor... so if you see that apparmor is NOT running/not on your system, such a command won't help you.

Please post your config from "/etc/default/bind9", so that we could have a look if the failure is there.

The second IP ( the one you don't know ^^ ), must be the IP in reverse order, without the last numbers - AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD will be DDD.CCC.BBB.in-addr.arpa ... that's is just to inform you.

I don't really see any false configuration here. Is this a fresh installation with Ubuntu 14.04, or did you do a release-upgrade from 12.04 ? Could you please check with "netstat -ntpl | grep :53" if there is no other service running on that port?

CriptoP · Sep 21, 2014

this is a new installation of 14.04 and the port 53 it's empty and named don't are run in other port

CriptoP · Oct 5, 2014

Anyone have another idea??

BoiseComputer · Oct 5, 2014

I would try this command in another terminal:
tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep bind

or you could do this:
cat /var/log/syslog | grep bind
The second one would show you any messages in the past regarding bind.

If that doesn't turn anything up you could do this command to see if any logs contain information regarding bind.
grep -R "bind" /var/log/*
and
grep -R "named" /var/log/*

Hopefully that helps.

CriptoP · Oct 6, 2014

My grep -R "bind" /var/log/*

I try to reinstall bind DNS support to view more easy the log of this feature. In dpk.log can view this.

Regards and thanks

Adrián_Blanco_Vila · Oct 7, 2014

I have the same problem. It is caused because the file /etc/init.d/bind9 is empty. Any solution?
