• The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Plesk 12 Centos 6.6. named failed to start

Installing the Plesk 12 on a clean Centos 6.6.
DNS Server (BIND) is start.
When you try to restart Bind :
Error: Unable to make action: Unable to manage service by dnsmng: dnsmng: Service /etc/init.d/named failed to start
('--start', 'dns')
If you restart the server - the problem is the same.
twice reinstalled server - the same problem.

Try to use command:
# service named start
Starting named: Cannot find configuration file. You could create it by system-config-bind

# ll /etc/named.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Jan 21 00:04 /etc/named.conf -> /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf
# cat /etc/named.conf | grep directory
cat: /etc/named.conf: No such file or directory
 
Do you have component bind (or named) is marked as not installed on Tools & Settings > Components?
Try to reinstall it. Also you can try to fix it with help of bootstrapper repair procedure.
