Named service error with centos 5.2

[redwood]

I've installed cpanel on a fresh Centos server.
problem is, service NAMED won't start.
After service named restart
Stopping named: [ OK ]
Starting named:
Error in named configuration:
none:0: open: /etc/named.conf: file not found
[FAILED]


After trying some other things stated here on the forum got some of the following errors.

after running scripts/rebuildnamedconf
/etc/named.conf and /etc/named.conf.prefixrndc are identical at /scripts/cPScript/FileUtils.pm line 263

When installing a nameserver through the cpanel setup with function "add a entry for this nameserver" i'll get the following error
Bind reloading on myserver-1 using rndc zone: [myserver.nl] Error reloading bind on myserver: rndc: connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953: connection refused

What have i done wrong? I've tried everything i could find on this forum incl. reinstalling centos and cpanel. Problem still remains.

Anyone got a clue?

Anyone can help me with this?

Error in named configuration:
none:0: open: /etc/named.conf: file not found

Are you sure named.conf file exist?

[redwood]

Yes, that file exists and just to try i've chmod it to 777.
Now the following error:

root@server-1 [/etc]# service named restart
Stopping named: [ OK ]
Starting named:
Error in named configuration:
none:0: open: /etc/named.conf: file not found
[FAILED]

[redwood]

I've commented, "#ROOTDIR=/var/named/chroot" in /etc/sysconfig/named.
And now service named will start!

This solved my problem...
