Solved: DNS Server Crashed, failed to start

[Xavier12]

Hey guys,

It seems the servers dns will not resolve and has crashed. When starting the "Named" service, here is the error:

Error in named configuration:
zone 0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA/IN: loaded serial 20010622
zone 215.170.107.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 1433121512
zone lanewgirl.com/IN: NS 'ns.mydomain.com' has no address records (A or AAAA)

zone mydomain.com/IN: not loaded due to errors.

_default/mydomain.com/IN: bad zone

zone mydomain2.com/IN: NS 'ns.mydomain2.com' has no address records (A or AAAA)

zone mydomain2.com/IN: not loaded due to errors.

_default/mydomain2.com/IN: bad zone

Please advise, thanks

The solution would be to use a valid dns-template or at least add an a-record to that zone.
Are you using plesk as primary dns for that domain?

Hi Oliver,

Thanks for the response. Yes. Zones were set up. The issue was that we tried to duplicate a site and the vps crashed because of no disk space. We deleted files to get the vps back in working order. Since then, the DNS issue occurred.

When starting DNS in plesk, here is the error

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

Please advise, thanks

RESOLVED

Seem to have fixed it by going to the default template dns settings in Tools & Settings / DNS Template, then resetting to default. From there, re-add nameserver A Records, etc.
