Need help fixing webmin installation

Hello Guys,

Just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction, I'm using webmin to run multiple non-profit websites for various charities in the toronto region for free and have run into some difficulties.

I had been trying to add a user to ftp and something has gone absolutely wrong.

My DNS server and Mysql server instances do not want to start nor run

From the DNS I get the following error code:

"Failed to start service : Failed to start BIND : Starting named: [FAILED]"

And from the Mysql Server I get the following error code:

"Failed to start service : Timeout error occurred trying to start MySQL Daemon. Starting MySQL: [FAILED]"

Also all the websites except the webmin modules now display a 403 error page. I'm guessing webmin isn't affected as it runs on a different webserver.

Thank You in advance for your help.

You can send me an email at oles@oles.ca

First thing you might wanna do is check the logfiles, usually in /var/log, for problem messages. Especially BIND and MySQL should put a little more detail about what went wrong than just "Failed to start BIND". :)

This is what I have got from the mysql log file. " 121022 17:11:37 [ERROR] bdb: fatal region error detected; run recovery 121022 17:11:37 [ERROR] bdb: /var/lib/mysql: Permission denied 121022 17:11:37 [ERROR] Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Permission denied 121022 17:11:37 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock ? 121022 17:11:37 [ERROR] Aborting

It sounds like you're seeing some unusual errors, and the issues point to something in /var/lib/mysql... what output do you receive if you run this command:

ls -la /var/lib/mysql

I'd have tried, but since he "required references" (which I don't have - aside from two years hosting experience under Linux) I didn't bother offering. :)
