  • 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.

DNS Server (BIND) turned itself off?

This morning I woke up to find all my websites down. After further inspection in the Plesk 8.3 cp I found that "DNS Server (BIND)" had turned itself off.

Why would it do this and how can I stop this happening again?
 
I have just experianced the same problem. Did you find the Antidote...er... Antidote?
 
To enable service

Code:
chkconfig named on


To see why it failed (stoped)
Code:
grep -i named /var/log/messages

That will give you a heads up on why the service failed - as to never having it happen again, I think that is never going to happen - no matter what you do its always possible for something to happen due to a stupid user, configuration error, etc.

But at least this will point you in the right direction for troubleshooting.
