I get this error

Failed to start BIND : 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.

@Ilia @Joe Please help me.

What’s the output when you run this on the cli?

This error is self-explanatory. You should find which relevant BIND config file tries to embed /var/named/workok.ml.hosts and fix it.
