Hi, I’m experiencing an issue with Bind9.
It seems to have stop when I run service bind9 start it returns:
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.
When I run systemctl status named.service it returns:
× named.service - BIND Domain Name Server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/named.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2024-12-01 02:46:22 SAST; 1min 0s ago
