bind / named error

Question

I got an error I somehow can't get rid of.

Maybe smbd can help me work this out. I got Plesk 11 running on an Ubuntu machine.

The DNS is up running and working, but whenever I wanna restart it, I get the following error:

root@mach:~# service bind9 restart

• Stopping domain name service... bind9
  WARNING: key file (/etc/bind/rndc.key) exists, but using default configuration file (/etc/bind/rndc.conf)

named: Kein Prozess gefunden

named: Kein Prozess gefunden

named: Kein Prozess gefunden [ OK ]

• Starting domain name service... bind9 [ OK ]

root@mach:~#

Do you have any idea what this is about? I already tried deleting the /etc/bind/rndc.conf, but this leads to the dns not starting.

Answer 1

you should not only remove the rndc.conf but also add the following to named.conf:

include "/etc/bind/rndc.key";
    controls {
    inet 127.0.0.1 port 953
    allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key"; };
};

If you restart bind now the error should go away.
