      I remove it from the GUI, in /usr/local/pkg there was no file releted to bind but I searched in the backup file and the configuration for bind is still there:

      		</service>
		<service>
			<name>nut</name>
			<rcfile>nut.sh</rcfile>
			<executable>upsmon</executable>
			<description><![CDATA[UPS monitoring daemon]]></description>
		</service>
		<bind>
			<config>
				<enable_bind></enable_bind>
				<bind_ip_version>-4</bind_ip_version>
				<listenon>lan</listenon>
				<bind_notify></bind_notify>
				<bind_hide_version>on</bind_hide_version>
				<bind_ram_limit>256M</bind_ram_limit>
				<bind_logging>on</bind_logging>
				<log_severity>warning</log_severity>
				<log_options>default</log_options>
				<rate_enabled>on</rate_enabled>
				<log_only>no</log_only>
				<rate_limit></rate_limit>
				<bind_forwarder>on</bind_forwarder>
				<bind_forwarder_ips></bind_forwarder_ips>
				<listenport>53</listenport>
				<controlport>953</controlport>
				<bind_custom_options></bind_custom_options>
				<bind_global_settings></bind_global_settings>
			</config>
		</bind>
		<bindzone></bindzone>
		<bindviews></bindviews>
		<squidcache>
			<config>

      Just to be sure, I have to delete everything between <bind> and </bindviews> included? And can I use the "Edit file" function in the diagnostics tab instead of using vi/vim?

        1 yes,

        2 the best would be:
        go to diagnostic - backup & restore
        do a backup, open it with your preferred editor, personally i use notepad++
        delete that line
        save in a new file
        go to the pfsense and restore that file
        reboot

        3 what version of pfsense is that?

            @Katoz said in Bind doesn't work after reinstall it:

            in /usr/local/pkg there was no file releted to bind

            A file that doesn't exist can't throw errors.
            You said :

            @Katoz said in Bind doesn't work after reinstall it:

            thrown in /usr/local/pkg/bind.inc on line 305

            thus bind.inc exists over there.

            @Katoz said in Bind doesn't work after reinstall it:

            between <bind> and </bindviews> included?

            Iadvise you to remove everything between
            <bind>
            and
            </bind>

            Btw : viconfig is fun.
            But it's vi .... so .... well ... I understand.
            Plan 2 from @kiokoman is probably better.

            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
            Edit : and where are the logs ??

              Maybe I misunderstood what you told me before but I did this:

              -Uninstalled Bind from the GUI
              -I checked if there were still files related to Bind in /usr/local/pkg
              -I modified the configuration file and removed the lines
              -Restore the file

              Then I installed Bind again but nothing has changed and continues to throw errors, I did it immediately after the message from @kiokoman but I forgot to press "Submit"

                  I only found /usr/local/share/licenses/bind-tools-9.12.2P1 but it was not in the list, I delete it anyway?

                    bah it will be reinstalled anyway. most importantly.. the problem is not caused by bind leftover..

                    so let's see what that 305 lines do...

                    // Config Zone domain
	// Add ACLS
bla bla bla
array("name" => "none", "description" => "BIND Built-in ACL", "row" => array("value" => "", "description" => ""));

                    are you sure you have deleted
                    <bind></bind>
                    <bindzone></bindzone>
                    <bindviews></bindviews>
                    from the config ?
                    it is failing to configure the array for "BIND Built-in ACL" that should be inside the config

                    you should search for "bind" in all your config.

                    there are 2 ways to repair this. the ease one and the time consuming one

                    the ease one but less fun .. would be to select a previusly working config. like the one done before installing bind. 😂

                      I'm sure I've deleted those lines, there are others but they are:

                      I have no idea when I installed Bind, I have been trying to make it work for months and in any case Config History only goes up to today at noon.
                      I assume the problem is the configuration file so even if I did a clean install of Pfsense and restore the file the problem remains

                              It worked! I changed the configuration file and installed bind and now appears in the services menu. Now I just have to see if it really works but I'm too tired, I'll do it tomorrow.

                              In the meantime, thank you all for helping me :)
