Do you have bind-chroot installed?

I don't know, the only thing I can tell is it worked fine before yum update

What does "rpm -qa | grep bind" return?

bind-chroot-9.3.3-9.0.1.el5
ypbind-1.19-7.el5
bind-libs-9.3.3-9.0.1.el5
bind-9.3.3-9.0.1.el5
bind-utils-9.3.3-9.0.1.el5

so it's installed. I'm not surprised. My guess is yum udpate installed something not compatible with plesk.

other way around, its a plesk bug, not a vendor bug. Previous versions handled bind-chroot just fine (it used to be a core package in fact).

you can fix it by removing bind-chroot. others on this forum had the same problem, just search bind-chroot.

If you think the only way to remove software is to format your harddrive, then yes, you've got some reading to do.

You can also add the following to yum.conf to avoid the problem in the future

exclude=bind-chroot

Yeah thats a rather um... drastic... recovery procedure. Reminds me of this Italian guy I work with. Once he discovered that he could re-image a server with a few commands...

<italian guy> I reimaged server
<me> why?
<italian guy> plesk wouldnt start!
<me> does it start now?
<italian guy> no, so I reimage again.

words fail me.

I do need some reading, but it's not so ridiculous since with a script it takes less than 3mn to have a brand new centos with everything. btw after I reformated and installed plesk and run again yum update, this time bind worked just fine. all I can say is I did not installed some optionnal modules like tomcat for exemple. with my first setup, I installed everything plus some addon like http-dev because I wanted to compile suphp.
