I got this error message and the site was down.  I logged in
and the machine is fine.  The apache is not running.

I tried to restart apache and:

so I removed references to 2 apache conf include files
in ~aacis and restarted apache.

seems to work now.

  But there should now, after backup reform, be no need for this

  bind, for running name servers, i.e. something that says

  usually a firewall is configurable per machine.

  But bind does not work, it's a permission problem
  with the pid file. I am comparing with a healthy
  installation but have not found the problem yet.

  If I run bind as root, I don't get the problem.
  I think I will leave it this way for now. There
