Bind not running

[Kevin Darcy]

Well, how is the nameserver configured and what is your Internet connectivity?
If it's an internal-only nameserver and it's trying to talk directly to the
Internet roots (because you're using an Internet root hints file), then that
would explain why it never gets out of "server is initialising itself".
