      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:

		<username>(system)</username>

                    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 :)
