Hi rather an urgent problem.

I installed Clodumin pro on a new server using and now my server is not running BIND, failed to start, now no web sites are running any idea for a quick solution thanks

found something here

http://www.virtualmin.com/node/21352

If you look in /etc/sysconfig/named, is ROOTDIR set in there?

what should ROOTDIR be ?

I notice the top of this file. the install of Cloudmin seems to have screwed up the DNS settings. hopefully it is a simple thing, anybody any ideas ?

thanks

Howdy,

Hmm, the error I see in your output above is this one:

12-Dec-2013 22:08:14.333 loading configuration from '/etc/named.conf'
12-Dec-2013 22:08:14.333 none:0: open: /etc/named.conf: permission denied

That almost sounds like there's a permissions problem with the BIND config. What output does this command produce:

ls -l /etc/named.conf

Also, which distro/version is it that you're using?

I solved this by this command:

chown root:named /etc/named.conf

For some reason the file was root:root
