OR
Bind reloading on server1 using rndc zone: [ensermo.com]
Bind reloading on server2 using rndc zone: [ensermo.com]
Bind reload skipped on newserver(nameserver disabled)
while restarting bind/named service from shell.
You can fix this error by two ways.
First one which is easy and quick:
- Login to WHM as a root user and go to service manager.
- Check if bind service is enables or not, if not enable it.
- bind/named service will restart successfully.
Second way:
- Login to server as a root user using shell
- Check for files
/etc/binddisable
/etc/nameddisable
/etc/dnsdisable
The above files should not exist on the server if they are then remove them.
- Restart bind/named service
