Error: named restart failed

[thetechiepanda]

Hi To All Members,

I am running a server on Centos 7 and has a VESTA CP installed on it.

Recently I did an update using yum update and now the named is not starting and on attempting restart it is giving Error: named restart failed

On running:

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl status named.service -l

I got the below:

Code: Select all

named.service - Berkeley Internet Name Domain (DNS)

I have already tried to rebuild the DNS in VESTA CP->USERS but that has not helped.

I am pulling my hairs to figure our a solution. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

You will need to fix the file /home/admin/conf/dns/thelavendersforlife.com.db manually.

The log reports that there are errors in lines 16 and 23 of file /home/admin/conf/dns/thelavendersforlife.com.db.

Unfortunately VestaCP version 1.0 still has many bugs and I think the best solution would be for you to downgrade the vesta packages.
