I have configured bind9. Only the named.conf.options file. I wanted to sudo sytemctl start named.service. It was not working. This is the output I get. I have already tried to search for the solution in many places. Any idea?

named.service - BIND Domain Name Server
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/named.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: activating (start) since Wed 2022-12-07 00:39:55 GMT; 32ms ago

             \u2514\u250050934 /usr/sbin/named -u bind

  • What do you get for sudo systemctl status named.service ? – Doug Smythies Dec 07 '22 at 01:24

  • bind9 does not work with only a named.conf.options file. you need zone files. Refer to the Ubuntu serverguide. – Doug Smythies Dec 07 '22 at 01:29
  • Is it the reason why the service is not starting? It should be starting anyway. – Cserés Szabolcs Dec 07 '22 at 01:37

Check bind configuration:

named-checkconf /etc/named.conf

Check Bind Zone File

named-checkzone demotecadmin.net /var/named/demotecadmin.net.db
