• Please be aware: Kaspersky Anti-Virus has been deprecated
    With the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.64, "Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Servers" will be automatically removed from the servers it is installed on. We recommend that you migrate to Sophos Anti-Virus for Servers.
  • 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.
  • We’re working on enhancing the Monitoring feature in Plesk, and we could really use your expertise! If you’re open to sharing your experiences with server and website monitoring or providing feedback, we’d love to have a one-hour online meeting with you.

Resolved BIND says it can't start

MattCaz

Basic Pleskian
I migrated files over from a plesk linux 12.5 to a VPS running Plesk Onyx 17.0.17 and centos 7. It seems that I can't get bind to run with the migrated domains so I removed them all and added a brand new domain to the Onyx server and BIND still won't run. I have checked and Onyx did update the 2 files with the host name for the server.

I have a FQDN of caz.cazserver.com

When I typed in the following command I get this result:
[root@cazserver ~]# /bin/systemctl start named.service

Job for named.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status named.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

======================

When I type in the usual commands to check the status of BIND, or to stop / start I get this message in terminal: Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status named.service

With this result:
● named.service - Berkeley Internet Name Domain (DNS)

=======================
I've never had this issue when I migrated from plesk panel to plesk panel. I can provide whatever extra info people who are smarter than me might need if you can tell me how to get it for you.

I sincerely appreciate your time and assistance and do not take anything for granted. I realize that I am asking strangers to take time from their busy day to bail my butt out with this issue.

I Re-Imaged the server and set it up with Plesk 12.5 and Centos 6 which is exactly what the old server has. I'll move my sites over 1 at a time. Maybe someday I'll move to Onyx. And Yes UFHH01 I read everything I could about it, including that article (thanks for taking the time to post a reply) but being DNS semi-stupid, I decided to punt!
