Bind Problem

[Morphe]

I've just upgraded php on cent os and plesk 8.4 After upgrade, all services are down. I can restart apache, qmail, smtp and pop. But I can't restart, stop or start bind. This is the error:

ERROR: PleskFatalException
Create ShortcutCreate Shortcut

Unable to make action: Unable to manage service by dnsmng: dnsmng: Service /etc/init.d/named failed to start

psaerror(string 'Unable to make action: Unable to manage service by dnsmng: dnsmng: Service /etc/init.d/named failed to start')

Any advise?

Are you starting bind in the command line or Plesk?

 

[Morphe]

I've tried both. I can't start, restart or stop with command line or plesk panel.

Okay, do it from the shell. Given the limited amount of information, I would look at /var/log/messages, see if there are any error in the same timeframe related to named.

Proceed at your own risk:

Make sure that bind-chroot; caching-nameserver; are not installed. You might want to do yum remove the packages, if they do. Other than that, post details of the log files for more information.

Hi

The same thing happened to me.
When I started BIND using the shell, it gave me the following:

Starting named:
Error in named configuration:
(snip)
_default/3rdpb.shareserv.co.uk/IN: bad zone
(snip)
[FAILED]

3rdpb.shareserv.co.uk was an expired account. Once I removed it entirely in the Domains screen I could start named successfully.

Hope this helps!
