Chrooted DNS and Plesk

Chrooted DNS doesn’t work with Plesk. That’s why chrooted DNS must remove from CentOS after Plesk installation. Plesk have its own DNS. It’s better not to install chrooted DNS in CentOS, if you are using Plesk

Remove Chrooted DNS
# rpm -e bind-chroot

Chrooted DNS make DNS service in Plesk looks failed, but it’s not (Server > Service Management > DNS Server (Bind)).

Setup Plesk DNS manually.

DNS files is in /var/named, /var/named/run-root/etc, /var/named/run-root/var/named, /var/named/run-root/var directory.

In this case, /var/named and /var/named/run-root/var/named directory have same content (below), except file named.pid in /var/named :

localdomain.zone
localhost.zone
named.broadcast
named.ca
named.ip6.local
named.local
named.zero

DNS configuration (named.conf) in /var/named/run-root/etc must same�with rndc-key , for example :

# Start of rndc.conf
key "rndc-key" {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "CeMgS23y0oWE20nyv0x40Q==";
};options {
default-key "rndc-key";
default-server 127.0.0.1;
# default-port 953;
};
# End of rndc.conf# Use with the following in named.conf, adjusting the allow list as needed:
# key "rndc-key" {
# algorithm hmac-md5;
# secret "CeMgS23y0oWE20nyv0x40Q==";
# };
#
# controls {
# inet 127.0.0.1 port 953
# allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key"; };
# };
Generate rndc-key
# rndc-confgen

Generate rndc-keyStop/Start/Restart BIND
# /etc/init.d/named stop
# /etc/init.d/named start
# /etc/init.d/named restart

Meanwhile, Plesk DNS Zone is in /var/named/run-root/var. Setup Plesk DNS Zone using Plesk Administration Site
