    I've recently installed Plesk 12.5 and i'm having some issues with bind.

    Whenever i start the service i get this error message in my syslog

    Code:
    Mar 11 18:33:05 ded named[9007]: loading configuration from '/etc/named.conf'
    Mar 11 18:33:05 ded named[9007]: open: /etc/named.conf: permission denied
    Mar 11 18:33:05 ded named[9007]: loading configuration: permission denied
    Mar 11 18:33:05 ded named[9007]: exiting (due to fatal error)
    i've tried the method of fixing it on the Plesk KB but that did not work.

    I do not have AppArmor installed currently cause i saw a lot of people were having issues with plesk and apparmor so i went ahead and deleted that first.

    My System:

    Plesk 12.5 Ubuntu 14.04

    Is there any solution to this problem? I have searched everywhere for a solution but i can not seem to find one.

    Thanks

    Besides Plesk is a bitch what are your permissions of that file?
    check with
    Code:
    ls -l /etc/named.conf
    
    It could also be a configuration issue if it runs in a jail.
    If your Output looks something like this:

    Code:
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 2016-03-12 01:11 /etc/named.conf -> /var/named/run-root/etc/named.conf
    
    Please adopt the path and check
    Code:
    ls -l /var/named/run-root/etc/named.conf
    
    too.

    Should be owned by root:bind then.
    What KB did you use - if you say "the one" ppl exactly know what you did, right? :)

    Code:
    install@ded:~$ sudo ls -l /etc/named.conf
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Mar 11 18:05 /etc/named.conf -> /var/named/run-root/etc/named.conf
    
    Code:
    install@ded:~$ sudo ls -l /var/named/run-root/etc/named.conf
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1257 Mar 11 18:05 /var/named/run-root/etc/named.conf
    
    kb.plesk.com/en/123075

    Not sure what you mean by adopt the path.

    Yeah, I meant exactly what you did, showing original files permissions.

    I don't see why it should be world readable but since bind is running in a jail, it should be sufficient it can read its own files - nobody else really has to do, except root which also can write them anyway...

    You could try
    Code:
    chown bind /var/named/run-root/etc/named.conf
    
    and restart bind, if it works/doesn't work either way, try
    Code:
    chgrp bind /var/named/run-root/etc/named.conf
    
    and if that does work, try
    Code:
    chmod 400 /var/named/run-root/etc/named.conf
    
    :)

    Tried all 3 same issue :(

    Ok, leave them for now. What's the options value in your
    /etc/default/bind9
    Code:
    OPTIONS="-u bind -t /var/named/run-root -c /etc/named.conf"
    

    Does your folder tree look like

    Code:
    drwxr-x--- 4 root bind 1024 2006-08-15 22:26 /var/named/run-root
    root@server:~# ls -l /var/named/run-root
    drwxrwx--- 2 root bind 1024 2006-08-15 21:55 cache
    drwxrwx--- 2 root bind 1024 2006-08-15 22:30 pid

    Code:
    OPTIONS="${OPTIONS} -t /var/named/run-root  -c /etc/named.conf -u bind -n 2"
    
    Code:
    install@ded:/etc/default$ sudo ls -l /var/named/run-root

    drwxr-xr-x 2 root  root 4096 Mar 11 13:58 dev

    ok, seems like invalid userid and group for your /var/named/run-root/etc folder
    try
    Code:
    sudo chown root:bind /var/named/run-root/etc
    
    and give it a shot.

    Same issue :/
    My structure now
    Code:
    install@ded:~$ sudo ls -l /var/named/run-root
    total 12
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 11 13:58 dev
    drwxr-xr-x 3 root bind 4096 Mar 11 18:05 etc
    drwxr-xr-x 3 bind bind 4096 Aug 13  2002 var

    Ok, I did a quick setup of chrooted bind9 on my debian-box, file permissions should be similar, maybe I don't have all files in the same folders but it should work if you compare them / assign permissions accordingly.

    Hmm besides the strange looking user 10007 and group 4001 you habe there, the main difference I see at first glance, I have
    Code:
    sudo chmod 775 /var/named/run-root
    
    and my /etc is chgrp'ed to root, but this shouldn't make a difference here.

    chmod 755 allows group and world to execute the top directory of the chrooted environment.
    Since it was owned root:root and chmod 744 the user bind could not execute ( enter ) the directory thus wasn't able to read subfolders.
