Problem on starting BIND9

Hi folks,

Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64 (Host OS)
bind9
VMWare.

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

Code:

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

$ ps aux|grep -i named

Code:

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.
