I followed this guide to install Samba 4 as an Active Directory Domain Controller and got stuck on starting bind9.

Here are some important configuration files and logs.

tail /var/log/syslog:

  • Question: Is there any reason to think that AppArmor is interfering? Are there relevant AppArmor warnings in the log files?

  • Does the user bind have read perm on /var/lib/samba/private/dns/?

  • Which exact version of Samba 4 are you running?

There was bad installation. When I reinstalled that It started correctly.
