Bild9 Won't Start Problems

Community Support Install & Set-Up

I’ve just installed a fresh copy of the latest version on a new VPS setup, but Bild9 still won’t activate. I’ve already followed multiple instructions, rebooted the VPS, checked the logs for errors with nothing showing as a problem (to my knowledge) and it shows its active just the panel not seeing it as active, and reinstalled both the operating system and control panel, but I still can’t get it to enable.

Does anyone know the possible reasons this might be happening?

Show the output of these commands:

pgrep named
systemctl status named --no-pager -l

○ named.service - BIND Domain Name Server
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/named.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: inactive (dead)
       Docs: man:named(8)

I’m wondering why the service is disabled…

Run these commands to enable and start the service.

systemctl enable named
systemctl start named
systemctl status named --no-pager -l

That also fixed the Bild9 issue — thank you so much! It was driving me crazy. Also, how did you learn all of this? It would be useful to know.

You’re welcome.

That’s pretty basic Linux stuff once you get used to it. I picked it up mostly by experimenting, breaking things and learning from the docs and forums.
