Failed to start BIND

Hello,

my BIND failed to start.

I got this message:

Failed to start service : Failed to start BIND : Starting named: Error in named configuration: /etc/named.conf:46: open: /etc/named.root.key: file not found [FAILED]

How to fix this, please help.

Howdy,

Hmm, well, there should be a file in /etc/named.root.key.

If that’s not there – is it possible that someone deleted it?

However, you’ll need to get that back somehow… do you have it available on a backup?

You could always try commenting out line 46 in /etc/named.conf, but I don’t know if that will actually work or not… you may need to also look at the top of your named.conf, and disable DNSSEC in order for that to work.
