Starting the named service always fails

[guymelef]

Hi guys, I modified my /etc/rndc.key and /etc/named.conf files. This is to close my opendns as what is shown in the dns report.

After the changes I restarted the named by this command

/etc/rc.d/init.d/named restart

It shows:
Stopping named: [ OK ]
Starting named: [FAILED]

I wonder why it fails to start so I tried another command which is

service named restart

and it shows

Stopping named: [FAILED]
Starting named: [FAILED]

so I tried to start only the named by

service named start

It still shows FAILED.

Anyone can help me how to start it again?

I restore my back up just to start the named service. I think I miss something in the named.conf or rndc.key.

Anyone can tell me how to close an opendns?

You could try this


/scripts/fixndc
/scripts/rebuildnamedconf

and restart named.
