Thanks for the provided info.
By saying this, do you mean after upgrading Webmin 1.999-1 to 1.999-2, correct?
How did you upgrade? Using package manager, like yum update command? Also, do you use Virtualmin on that system?
I looked deeper into the code and it seems that theoretically it’s possible to have new directives merged into your existing configs. Although, at the moment I see this is only possible if your actual detected OS on Webmin config is incorrect. What is the output of the following command on your systems @jmunjr @keerby @DonX ?
grep os_ /etc/webmin/config
grep os_ /etc/webmin/config
os_version=15.9
real_os_type=CentOS Linux
os_type=redhat-linux
real_os_version=7.9.2009
Thanks for sorting this out. As I stated, my system corrected itself, I think after I made a change in the module config to how chroot was handled, and then changing back, though I am not 100% sure about that.
Alright, I see the cause of this issue. We will fix this on the next Webmin release.
Sorry about that and thanks for reporting!

@Ilia just to note, I get the same output as jmunjr.
real_os_type=CentOS Linux
os_version=15.9
os_type=redhat-linux
real_os_version=7.9.2009
@Jamie, it adds an empty chroot= and auto_chroot=, preventing copyconfig.pl from adding (merging) those values.
Was a bug introduced when newer OS-specific config-* files were added recently?
Yes, this issue doesn’t happen with 1.994 and it doesn’t happen with 1.999-3 (locally built). Moreover, it doesn’t happen with 1.999-2 if installed initially, however the issue pops up if you reinstall 1.999-2 using package manager like dnf reinstall webmin …
Install Virtualmin on Centos 7 After updating BIND version 9.11, BIND does not start. ERROR : Failed to start BIND : sh: /etc/rc.d/init.d/named: No such file or directory
Output of grep os_ /etc/webmin/config

@Ilia Please let me know how to fix the issue or when will be updating the software.
Thank you
The fix for this issue would be as simple as running the following command over-writing existing Webmin Bind module config file:
cp /usr/libexec/webmin/bind8/config-CentOS-Linux-6.0-7.0 /etc/webmin/bind8/config

All is ok on my system. Thanks for the fixes. Appreciate you guys.
I reinstall server multiple time every time BIND server not start @Ilia please fix it and update you software with new installation files. awaiting for good new.
@jmunjr I’m happy for you, but every new user name face this issue with CentOS Linux 7.9.2009.
I hope Virtualmin team will understand.
Thanks you!
Thank you for the heads up. We can confirm that Webmin 1.999-2 has a bug that manifests itself on CentOS 7 in Webmin BIND module.
We will fix this in upcoming Webmin release.
Also, note that it’s not advised to install CentOS 7 in 2022 and AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux should be preferred!
When Upcoming Webmin release?
We don’t have ETA.
[That shouldn’t be the case. Simply run the following command to fix a Webmin Bind config on CentOS 7:

Unfortunately, Automated Virtualmin Installation not working with those OS AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux.
EDIT: Again reinstall centos 7 after your given comment bind and it’s not configured because after Setting Up Virtual Server, the domain not working. I’m very disappointeded with your support.
almost after wasting my 5 days still bind not working with Linux.
AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux are supported using beta version of install.sh script. This has been discussed in multiple posts.

If you need more help, please provide more details on what isn’t working exactly. You shouldn’t be using CentOS 7 with a clean install in 2022 anyway.
If you still want to do it on CentOS 7 system, use the command I mentioned above to replace a wrong config with the right one, and then run the following command to re-configure Bind for Virtualmin:
virtualmin-config-system -i=Bind

Sorry but this is Webmin category, and I had no idea it didn’t work for you on Virtualmin.
There is no reason to reinstall anything, this is not Windows 3.11. It’s the mater of a wrong config file for Bind Webmin module. Besides reinstalling would produce the same results, as Webmin package hasn’t been updated yet.
