As the title,it always responded
Stopping named: rndc: connect failed: connection refused
[FAILED]
Would anyone give me a solution?

More information would be needed.

What OS? New install or ongoing problem? What does "rndc status" return from the command line?

Run the following commands at the prompt line:

/scripts/fixnamed
/scripts/fixndc
/scripts/restartsrv named

No Cpanel installed,so can't run:
/scripts/fixnamed
/scripts/fixndc
/scripts/restartsrv named

I have a redhat with bind 9.2.1.The DNS working fine since the fisrt time config the server.But I just found the problem without any anticipation.

If anyone can tell me how to upgrade bind to a newer version like 9.2.3 with complete command line.That would be appreciated.

Go on, have a guess
If cPanel isn't installed, then you're asking in the wrong forums.

If it's a new server that you're about to install cPanel on, then all you need from a DNS perspective is a valid DNS resolver listed in /etc/resolv.conf
