When I try to restart bind, It starts ok but get the mesage

&named not running&

I also get this message while setting up an account in WHM:

ndc: connect: connection refused


So I decided to tail the message log and got this

Mar 6 23:11:53 localhost named: named startup succeeded
Mar 6 23:11:53 localhost named[22715]: loading configuration from '/etc/named.conf'
Mar 6 23:11:53 localhost named[22715]: /etc/named.conf:25: parse error near file
Mar 6 23:11:53 localhost named[22715]: loading configuration: failure
Mar 6 23:11:53 localhost named[22715]: exiting (due to fatal error)

So, I went into named.conf and went to line 25 and here's what I get.

file &/var/named/teenieschoolgirls.com.db&;

here's the entire named.conf
If you'll notice where it shows the name servers, it has them as &type slave&

When my client set up his name server, he accidently put his name server address in the master name server field. I have a feeling, this is what is causing the problem.

// generated by named-bootconf.pl

options {
directory &/var/named&;
/*
* If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
* to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source
* directive below. Previous versions of BIND always asked
* questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged
* port by default.
*/
// query-source address * port 53;
};

//
// a caching only nameserver config
//
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; };
};

Any Ideas?

Is that your named.conf file?


There are quite a few errors. Try running /scripts/cleandns8

You can try this script:
/scripts/unslavenamedconf

However, your named.conf is in bad shape... You probably need to clean it up manually...
