Where is the Centos version of this guide?
Hello Alexander Garzon. CentOS does not have AppArmor, such issues excluded from happening on CentOS.
I recommend to take a look to /var/log/messages attempting to start named-chroot service (this is how service name looks like on CentOS).
Thank you. I'm aware Centos does not have Apparmor. My question was more about Centos having the exact same problem (/etc/named.conf: permission denied) but not solution found among Plesk articles.
Basically Plesk is generating files and zones with permission 0600 instead 0640 and all under root:root instead named:named.
I have to fix this by forcing chmod 640 in all zones with a cron task
Hi Alexander Garzon I checked internally, and we did not have such requests as this for CentOS. As well as I verified that by default Plesk should create and use zones with 644 permissions and root:root.
I would recommend creating a ticket to support to see what can be wrong.
