We may get the following error while starting the Bind service from the Plesk Panel:
Error: Unable to make action: Unable to manage service by dnsmng: dnsmng: Service /etc/init.d/bind9 failed to start
('--start', 'dns')
If we look in the /var/log/messages we could see the error :
kernel: [ 6858.107517] type=1503 audit(1375351936.035:25): operation="open" pid=21824 parent=21822 profile="/usr/sbin/named" requested_mask="::r" denied_mask="::r" fsuid=107 ouid=0 name="/var/named/run-root/etc/named.conf"
This issue is because Apparmor is blocking the functionality
We can stop and remove the Apparmor~# /etc/init.d/apparmor stop
~# /etc/init.d/apparmor teardown
~# update-rc.d -f apparmor remove
Update or re-install the Bind package using the apt-get
~# apt-get install bind9
