  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    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.

Bind won't start: "zone 'domain.com': already exists previous definition"

Hello,

after updating to V 9.0 Bind won't start no matter if trying in Plesk or in command line. Following the sample error message, which occurs for every single domain:
/etc/named.conf.include.plesk-zones:117: zone 'domain.com': already exists previous definition: /etc/named.conf.include.plesk-zones:117

And at the end:
/etc/named.conf.include.plesk-zones:1733: attempt to redefine acl 'common-allow-transfer' previous definition: /etc/named.conf.include.plesk-zones :1733

Could someone please help?
 
Hi,

Make sure you do not have manually added configurations/zone files
Also try running the following command to rebuild DNS zone for a domain:
/usr/local/psa/bin/dnsmng update domain.com
or
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/dnsmng update domain.com

and next try to start bind and check if error will still show for domain.com or no. If no then run this query for every domain.
