Problem on starting BIND9

[satimis]

Hi folks,

Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64 (Host OS)
bind9
VMWare.


On running;
$ sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 start

 * Starting domain name service... bind                                                                                           [fail]

$ ps aux|grep -i named

bind      4477  0.0  0.1  70728  3608 ?        Ssl  02:05   0:00 /usr/sbin/named -u bind
root      5488  0.0  0.0  10084   776 ?        Ss   02:48   0:00 /sbin/syslogd -a /var/lib/named/dev/log
satimis   5601  0.0  0.0   5028   888 pts/0    S+   03:09   0:00 grep -i named

Please advise where shall I check and how to fix the problem. TIA


Edit:

Problem solved after reboot

Your problem was that Named was already running as you could see from the ps command. Instead of 'bind9 start' you should have used 'bind9 restart' to restart it.

Thanks for your advice.


I found the cause of my problem. After reboot "sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 start" worked but NOT restart/reload. The latter was obstructed by the firewall. After running "sudo iptables -F" then it worked as well.
