Dan, Still I am facing the same. Before I post this comment on list, checked everything like named service and bind. No packages of named and bind installed on my server.

Typically, COS comes with a BIND installation -- so you will need to, at a minimum, turn that off: chkconfig named off ; service named stop Then try starting your pdns recursor.... If that solves the problem, then you can get rid of bind altogether (although, there are a number of DNS utilities that I personally like to have, so I personally keep BIND on the server, even if I am running a pdns recursor instead of BIND). Still, if you must, you can remove BIND with: yum erase named I hope this helps :) Dan McAllister On 1/1/2014 11:18 PM, Linux wrote: Hi All, I installed pdns-recursor, but when I started the service it give me an error as, Jan 2 09:43:45 email pdns_recursor[5042]: PowerDNS recursor 3.1.5 (C) 2001-2008 PowerDNS.COM BV (Apr 1 2008, 11:52:14, gcc 4.1.2 20070626 (Red Hat 4.1.2-14)) starting up Jan 2 09:43:45 email pdns_recursor[5042]: PowerDNS comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
