bind9

Hello,

I am using Debian Linux 5.0 with Webmin and Virtualmin. Everything works fine except the BIND DNS Server. It says

Failed to start BIND : Unknown error.

Any ideas? I've googled about this problem and found some answers, but didn't help me. I still couldn't start it.

Thanks in advance for any help! Gabe
