jaunty bind9 failed to start

[ciur.eugen]

Hi everyone,

I upgraded yesterday, Ubuntu 9.04 - Jaunty Jackalope from Interpid. After
rebooting my PC, my Internet stopped to word. I checked around a little, and
found out that actually, network connectivity is fine (ping to a known IP
address gets a reply). So... probably DNS problem.

Indeed:
> sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 status
* bind9 is not running
Then
> sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 start
* Starting domain name service... bind9 [fail]

The problem is that everything with that /etc/bind/named.conf seems fine,
because as you can see below there is full access to it.

/var/lib/named/etc/bind

Still - DNS is not resolving names...
Smallest clue what the problem can be ? Is this a bug? Known issue?

Problem solved. It was because in old 8.10 I had disabled AppArmor, when installed 9.04 it enabled AppArmor again. There are some setting which I found in this forum how to solve that... however I make it simple - removed AppArmor again :)

Well, I do have the same problem. I installed ubuntu 9.04 and after ISPconfig 2, everything was good and woorking well, and I decided to install GUI (bad idea) and after reboot bind9 stopped working.

Any ideas about how to fix this fatal problem!

what should be the result of dig example.com if dns is working correctly. Here example.com is the domain name.
