Hello everyone, I am running ISPConfig3 on Debian Wheezy and after a recent update I got the dread - cannot start bind9 failure. I have searched and searched and searched and looked and looked and looked for the issue and I am finally reaching out for some help! My syslog shows no errors which is also strange! Anyone have any insight into this issue? Code: Setting up bind9 (1:9.8.4.dfsg.P1-6+nmu2+deb7u3) ... [FAIL] Starting domain name service...: bind9 failed! invoke-rc.d: initscript bind9, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing bind9 (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: bind9 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) A package failed to install. Trying to recover: Setting up bind9 (1:9.8.4.dfsg.P1-6+nmu2+deb7u3) ... [FAIL] Starting domain name service...: bind9 failed! invoke-rc.d: initscript bind9, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing bind9 (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: bind9
OK, I did one last search and solved it with the following commands: Code: apt-get remove --purge bind9 tasksel install dns-server And I am not able to restart and run bind9!! So my question is - BIND and BIND9? Why did the failure of BIND9 not affect my ISPConfig3 DNS? If anyone can enlighten this newbie I would appreciate it! Thanks John
