Failed to start BIND : Unknown error

[c740015]

Hi.

I had some updated in virtual min asking to update a few things such as mysql bind a and a few other things.
So I just clicked to updated and restarted.
Now I'm getting an error that bind is not starting

Failed to start BIND : Unknown error

I have no clue what is causing this and Its effecting the website I think its slowly going offline.
What can i do to resolve this issue there is clearly a speed decline in the website.
Its taking forever to load.
Also all my subdomains have now stopped working. With major lag on the website :S

Any help with this would be fantastic.
Im running debian with virtualmin and webmin with apache and mqsql.

Thanks.

Have you tried rebooting the server and then restarting services shut down during the reboot?

[c740015]

Yeah I tried that a few times no luck.. Seems the update has done something to it

What version of BIND are you running?
Also, you might find THIS LINK interesting if you have not found it yourself yet.

I'm using bind9 and the website has now gone completely offline DAM. I'm so stuck.. I tried uninstalling it. Reinstalling god knows what else.
It not starting at all

I read somewhere that If i totally remove bind and the user it may solve my problem.. I am eger to get this site back online as fast as possible.
We have some updates that we have just released this week.
How would I completely remove bind user and scripts it left behind so I can do a complete fresh install ?

My setup is not exactly the same as yours, but I am fairly sure there is an option in Webmin to remove BIND and then reinstall. Webmin - Configuration - Webmin Modules - Delete. And then back to Webmin Modules - Install - Standard Module - BIND8. Seems to me that should do a downgrade for you which seems to be the best option for now. Of course BIND will probably need some manual configuration after that.

Im seriously stuck I uninstalled from webmin & ssh. Its not starting no matter what I do.. I dunno what to do now.
