The service 'named' on server server.satellietzaak.nl is currently down

[myilmaz]

Hi, in my direct admin message system i have every hour a new message whit the following text: The service 'named' on server *** is currently down.

How can i solve this?

Is it down? Check from a root shell and try to restart it manually.

Do you use this server for DNS? Does DNS appear to be working?

yes

No the server is working, but i receive each hour this message. I have restarted now whit $ sudo service bind9 restart but i will wait if that makes change. I'm using the server for DNS yes.

Check you logs, there you can find the reason

I guess you are running Debian server and upgraded bind9 from a package of your OS, and an init script originally provided by directadmin was replaced by that one from a package. In the version from directadmin a zone check is disabled, but it's enabled in the one from the package. And you probably have errors in one or several zones, which does not allow your bind9 to start. In this cae you should either fix the errors, or disable the zone check.
