Is there a Way to re-initialize the named bind 9.3.1 under plesk 7.4.5 ??

[AlexB@]

Reason: config files seem to be buggy since this morning. probably truncated due to false backup procedure.

named ist starting, but does not respond to requests. I either need to know, what is missing in the config files, or simply re-initialize the whole bind service. All zones will be stored in the PSA db, right?

Can anyone give me a hint to get rid of 'SERVFAIL' messages and customers complaining....

If you have a server backup, you can try restoring.

The DNS info is stored both in a Plesk database, but also exist in actual files. The database is what Plesk uses to recreate the on-disk files. The files are what Bind actually uses to run.

Have you checked the log file, sometimes error messages can give direction to the cause.
