Hello people,
yesterday, completely out of the blue all my websites didn't respond anymore. No idea what caused it at the time, but I tried some basic stuff such as restart the httpd service and a reboot of my server but to no avail.
Today, after some sleep, I took a look in the Plesk control panel and noticed that under services the DNS Server (BIND) wasn't running and when I click the start button it gives the following error:
Whatever that means.
So I had a look at my /var/log/messages file and it tells me this:
This is what my named.conf looks like:
Anybody got any ideas what to do?
I tried this trick:
1) cd /var/named/run-root/etc
2) mv named.conf named.conf.bak
3) cp named.conf.default named.conf
4) for x in `ls`; do /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/dnsmng update $x; done;/etc/init.d/named restart
But that doesn't help either, it once did start, but then you still need to restart all DNS's for all your websites, but now when I start with a clean named.conf file (the default one) it still doesn't start. It says this when I do 'service named restart':
Getting very desperate here.
Any guru's out there with any help, cause I have literally been Googling and browsing this forum for 3 hours straight now and seems that I am only getting further away from finding a solution.

The the-blueprints.com website is the only DNS one that I turned on after the complete failing of DNS altogether, so that's the only one that is listed in the named.conf file (as generated by Plesk).
This is what my named.conf looks like:

// Refer to the named(8) man page for details. If you are ever going

// details of how DNS is working. Even with simple mistakes, you can

// useless Internet traffic.

// In addition to the "forwarders" clause, you can force your name
// server to never initiate queries of its own, but always ask its
// forwarders only, by enabling the following line:
//
// forward only;
// If you've got a DNS server around at your upstream provider, enter
// its IP address here, and enable the line below. This will make you
// benefit from its cache, thus reduce overall DNS traffic in the Internet.

// Setting up secondaries is way easier and the rough picture for this

// If you enable a local name server, don't forget to enter 127.0.0.1

//
// Never forget to include the reverse lookup (IN-ADDR.ARPA) zone!
// (This is the first bytes of the respective IP address, in reverse

//
// Before starting to setup a primary zone, better make sure you fully
// understand how DNS and BIND works, however. There are sometimes
// unobvious pitfalls. Setting up a secondary is comparably simpler.
