fail to start BIND9

[elmusishian]

Im new to Ubuntu, and i recently installed the server version on a desktop. I have been trying to configure it, but i am having problems trying to start BIND9. when i type:

/etc/init.d/bind9 start this is what i get in /var/log/syslog:

Jul 4 15:07:38 gusserver named[6577]: starting BIND 9.5.1-P2 -u bind
Jul 4 15:07:38 gusserver named[6577]: found 1 CPU, using 1 worker thread

What are the permissions of this file and the /etc/bind directory?


ls -la /etc/bind

First of all, do you really need to run your own DNS? What are you going to use the server for?
