Install Error during autoinstall

[Lucas Fraser]

Hi guys,

I've recently been trying to install Plesk on my DigitalOcean VPS and come across an error every time.

===> Installing and configuring Named Server

Checking for the system groups and users necessary for named (bind)...
Checking for the group 'bind'...
Group 'bind' already exists

Checking for the user 'bind'...
User 'bind' already exists

Stop running named daemon
Trying to stop service bind9...  * Stopping domain name service... bind9
waiting for pid 17633 to die
   ...done.
done
Trying to create named run-root directory... done
Trying to untar named run-root directory structure... done
Trying to create named.conf... done
Trying to set up default permissions... done
Trying to register service bind9... done
Trying to stop service bind9... done
Trying to start service bind9...  * Starting domain name service... bind9
   ...fail!

Plesk then works, but issues with the DNS service not starting limit me from using it.

This has been tried and replicated on Ubuntu 14.04 with clean installs.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Lucas Fraser,

on some Ubuntu systems, the init - script "/etc/init.d/bind9" has been locally modified, and a possible upgrade/update of the bind9 - package was unfinished and/or misconfigured because of upgrade/update failures from "dpkg".

Please check your file "/etc/init.d/bind" for misconfigurations and replace it with "/etc/init.d/bind9.dpkg-dist" in case that your file "/etc/init.d/bind" is misconfigured.

Another solution is to re-install the bind9 - package, after purging the old one from your system.

Thanks a lot. All sorted now
