Hello, I has a vps and the server restart a few time. I dunno what happen but my provider says they are having problem with the node. OK now the problem is every service started automatically after reboot but bind9 failed to kicked in. So the node reboot a few time and thats also mean I had to ssh'd in to start bind9 manually. Code: root@server1:~# /etc/init.d/bind9 status could not access PID file for bind9 ... failed! root@server1:~# /etc/init.d/bind9 restart Stopping domain name service...: bind9rndc: connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953: connection refused . Starting domain name service...: bind9. Is there anyway I could solve this problem? or maybe this problem is an isolated case? Thanks in advance,

zone cheapantivirus.me/IN: sending notifies (serial 2011092903) theres nothing much in error log but here is something I found related to bind in daemon.log I'm installing bind with this command: Code: apt-get install bind9 Should I make any change if I want to set bind to run upon reboot. I thought it configures automatically like apache, mysql, ftp services? Thanks for your time falko. UPDATE I rebooted my vps just to see whether bind will start upon reboot. After restart on solusvm Code: root@server1:/# /etc/init.d/bind9 status could not access PID file for bind9 ... failed! indeed it failed to start. Other services works fine though. UPDATE Alhamdullilah. After a day googling and tinkering with my vps the solution is rather simple: Code: apt-get remove bind9 and after that install it again Code: apt-get install bind9 Bind9 is now start at reboot. Hope it helps
