New Installation DNS Fails ? A Joke ?

[KamalG]

I did a fresh installation of Plesk 12 on Ubuntu 14.04 and found that the DNS is not propagating upon checking the DNS service doesn't start.

This is a new installation on Ubuntu 14.04 Fresh install

Error: Unable to make action: Unable to manage service by dnsmng: dnsmng: Service /etc/init.d/bind9 failed to start
('--start', 'dns')

Now how to tackle this ?

Hi KamalG,

as you can see, apparmor blocks your bind9 - operations:

Dec 11 10:43:43 wootersports kernel: [ 1132.681510] type=1400 audit(1418312623.481:25): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" profile="/usr/sbin/named" name="/var/named/run-root/etc/named.conf" pid=4765 comm="named" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=109 ouid=0
​

Please disable apparmor, or configure it with the correct rights.
