    Trying to have ISPConfig installed on Cent OS 4.4 on Opteron 64 bit Asus 1U Rack server, 2 gigs RAM, SATA Raid 250 GB drives, software Raid.

    Really need help with this.

    When using ISPConfig to configure DNS, named fails to start.

    /etc/init.d/named start
    --> FAILED


    named.conf
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    options {
    pid-file "/var/named/chroot/var/run/named/named.pid";
    directory "/var/named";
    auth-nxdomain no;
    /*
    * 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
    //
    zone "." {
    type hint;
    file "named.ca";
    };

    zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
    type master;
    file "named.local";
    };

    zone "58.150.205.in-addr.arpa" {
    type master;
    file "pri.58.150.205.in-addr.arpa";
    };


    zone "mydomain.com" {
    type master;
    file "pri.mydomain.com";
    };

    Looks like your BIND daemon is not chrooted correctly. Please post the output of:

    ls -la /var/named/chroot/var/run/named/
