On a new server I don't get bind starting.

I have tried searching WHT and Cpanel forum, nothing so far.
Many people have complained the same, but I haven't find a resolution for this.


I have: WHM 9.9.8 cPanel 9.9.8-S14
FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE i386 - WHM X v3.1.0

I have tried fixndc, and this is what I get:

Found key in named.conf ..
Found controls in named.conf ..
Restarting bind.....Waiting for named to restart..............finished.


named has failed, please contact the sysadmin (result was "named is not running").
Done
All fixed



Anyone care to help?

You might try to restart again, when it fails then:

tail -200 /var/log/messages

To see any errors, alot of times on cpanel's dns will fail if named.conf is not correct, you may want to run "named-checkconf" to verify the named.conf file is ok.

Hope that helps.

You could also check to make sure that /etc/resolv.conf is correctly configured.
