New Install - Bind problem

Hi

I'm busy with a new install on Ubuntu 8.04 server and have reached the Bind stage of the steps. I have done all the steps as listed (I have triple checked to make sure) and when I run the "/etc/init.d/bind9 start" command I get a [fail]. When I check /var/log/syslog I see the following message:

Code:

May 20 15:36:07 server named[5696]: starting BIND 9.4.2 -u bind -t /var/lib/named
May 20 15:36:07 server named[5696]: found 1 CPU, using 1 worker thread

Is it posible to tell me what I'm doing wrong from the above?

Solved

I just rebooted the server and decided to try again and all is well.

I can't quite explain it, but it seemed to be something to do with user "bind"

Hi till

As I said, bind now starts after I'd rebooted and all seems to be working now.

Here is the output requested:

Code:

I have the same problem, ... ls -la /etc/bind/ looks the same.

What can I do next?

partially solved.

I changed the /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.named to:
# Ronald changed was: /etc/bind/** r,
/etc/bind/** rw,
# Ronald changed was: /var/lib/bind/** rw,
/var/lib/named/** rw,
/var/cache/bind/** rw,

I use /var/lib/named instead of /var/lib/bind


However, if I use the option -u bind -t /var/lib/named it does not start.

What am I still missing?
