PowerDNS Fails to Restart

[taylordouglas]

Has anyone encountered this error on a new server:

Waiting for “pdns” to restart …………Waiting for named,mydns,nsd,pdns_server to shutdown ... not running. …failed.

Cpanel::Exception::Services::StartError Service Status
pdns (/usr/sbin/pdns_server --guardian=no --daemon=no --disable-syslog --log-timestamp=no --write-pid=no) is running as root with PID 2017 (systemd+/proc check method).

Service Error
(XID xw8j2m) The “pdns” service failed to start.

pdns has failed. Contact your system administrator if the service does not automagically recover.

Solved. I had an older version of cPanel and PowerDNS was trying to issue IPV6.
