  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

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!
