I have been creating an email server with Samba AD and today it did not want to restart the DNS server with which I provisioned the domain. I have not been able to find any answers on the internet.
When I try to restart BIND:
root@cll-mx:/home/miemxadmin# systemctl restart bind9 Job for named.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status named.service" and "journalctl -xeu named.service" for details. The status of the SystemD service shows:
root@cll-mx:/home/miemxadmin# systemctl status bind9 × named.service - BIND Domain Name Server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/named.service; enabled; preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2025-01-27 16:37:56 CST; 8s ago Docs: man:named(8) Process: 3618 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/named -f $OPTIONS (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 3618 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) CPU: 331ms ene 27 16:37:56 cll-mx.com.ECMX.GROUP systemd[1]: named.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 5. ene 27 16:37:56 cll-mx.com.ECMX.GROUP systemd[1]: named.service: Start request repeated too quickly. ene 27 16:37:56 cll-mx.com.ECMX.GROUP systemd[1]: named.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. ene 27 16:37:56 cll-mx.com.ECMX.GROUP systemd[1]: Failed to start named.service - BIND Domain Name Server. And the suggested journalctl -xeu named.service gives this:
