This will often either correct the problem you're experiencing or update packages that are contributing to the problem.</p> <p>In some cases, Plesk will give an error when trying to start named (BIND) from the services page. Check /var/log/messages after attempting to start and look for errors indicating that bind can't load files from /var/named because they're missing (not found). If you find these messages, the problem is most likely because of bind-chroot.</p> <p>The bind-chroot package starts BIND in a chroot jail, limiting the security risk should bind be breached. This creates a fake root directory exclusively for BIND in /var/named/run-root. When BIND is started, /var/named/run-root is mapped to / and BIND sees the contents as the root directory. This is why BIND can't find files that's looking for: Plesk is putting them in the real /var/named. To confirm that bind-chroot is installed, do 'rpm -qa|grep chroot'. To fix the problem do 'rpm -ev '. Then, try to start named from the Plesk Services page.</p> <p>Once this is complete, you may need to go into the DNS for each domain and hit "Switch" twice to resave the zone configs</p>
