Issue dns not starting

F

FYI

Basic Pleskian
Hey guys,

actually i'm looking around plesk and gonna a fast-install over the plesk website to my server. Just lookiong a bit around, setting up and looking if plesk is a good system for me.

Actually i'm setting up the first domain. Its created automatically the dns zone and i changed the nameserver on my domain hoster to ns1.mydomain.tld and ns2.mydomain.tld. The hoster is setting up glue records for me (need to register my nameserver with hostname and ip adress).

DNSChecker cant find my NS entries and also not an A Record for the domain or the nsX.domain.tld - but its for than 24 hours.

I've checked and saw, that the DNS Server isnt running. If i try to start the following error coming:
"The service can not be started: Service can not be managed with dnsmng: ('start', 'dns'). error:"

I done a "plesk repair dns" - its checking the dns configuration file - ok. Restoring DNS Server configuration - ok. Sync DNS zones with server - ok.

0 Warnings, 0 Errors, 0 Errors resolved.

What can i do?


Greetings

  1. Open /lib/systemd/system/bind9.service and verify, that the content is exactly as stated:

    [Unit]
    Description=BIND Domain Name Server
    Documentation=man:named(8)
    After=network.target
    Wants=nss-lookup.target
    Before=nss-lookup.target
    [Service]
    EnvironmentFile=/etc/default/bind9
    ExecStart=/usr/sbin/named -f$OPTIONS
    ExecReload=/usr/sbin/rndc reload
    ExecStop=/usr/sbin/rndc stop
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target

  2. Apply the configuration and start the service:

    # systemctl daemon-reload
    # systemctl start bind9

Reactions: FYI
Just for ur correction:
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/named -f$OPTIONS

Should be:
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/named -f $OPTIONS

Its now up and running :) Thank u!
