• Hi, Pleskians! We are running a UX testing of our upcoming product intended for server management and monitoring.
    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • (Plesk for Windows):
    MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51, 5.1, and 5.3 are no longer shipped with Plesk because they have reached end of life. MariaDB Connector/ODBC 64-bit 3.2.4 is now used instead.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.

Bind problems on Plesk panel 11

PaddingtonC

Basic Pleskian
Good day,

I am having a problem with installing bind9 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I have installed a Plesk 11 server but DNS service is not running.

root@cp11:~# apt-get install bind
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package bind is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
bind9 dnsutils dnsutils:i386 bind9:i386 manpages

E: Package 'bind' has no installation candidate
root@cp11:~#

root@cp11:~# /etc/init.d/bind9 start
* Starting domain name service... bind9 [fail]

root@cp11:~# /etc/init.d/bind9 restart
* Stopping domain name service... bind9 [ OK ]
* Starting domain name service... bind9 [fail]

When I try to check the log file:
root@cp11:~# tail -f /var/log/messages
tail: cannot open `/var/log/messages' for reading: No such file or directory


I checked in /etc and there is a bind directory
root@cp11:/etc/bind# ls
bind.keys db.127 db.empty db.root named.conf.default-zones named.conf.options rndc.key
db.0 db.255 db.local named.conf named.conf.local rndc.conf zones.rfc1918

When I try to uninstall bind9 it also removes the Plesk control panel.

So I updated and the upgraded the packages and I see bind error:

root@cp11:~# apt-get upgrade
Processing triggers for libc-bin ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-23-generic
Processing triggers for resolvconf ...
Processing triggers for python-support ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
bind9
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
 
I found a work around.

This is caused by apparmor conflicting with bind in a Plesk set up, so remove apparmor more:
root@cp11:~# /etc/init.d/apparmor teardown
* Unloading AppArmor profiles [ OK ]
then start bind
/etc/init.d/bind9 start
