I had a problem with it too! Although there are others much better suited to helping you then me but if you using Debian then try this post:

It's quite long but all the procedures to help you through are there

Hope this helps!

You messed up your named.conf.local file, at or before line #12. Check the syntax.

How in the world is that not clear already???

i dont know what's wrong with my named.conf.local file but this is what's written in it


# This is the zone definition. replace example.com with your domain name

zone “myhome” {
type master;
file “/etc/bind/zones/myhome.db”;
};

# This is the zone definition for reverse DNS. replace 0.168.192 with your network address in reverse notation - e.g my network address is 192.168.0

zone “0.0.10.in-addr.arpa” {
type master;
file “/etc/bind/zones/rev.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa”;
};

Sorry this post is coming so late I don't know if you've figured it out already but here's the delio:

Now your quotation marks are not in ASCII plain text format (thanks MR C. for this on my post!!)

If you cut/copied your syntax from a website chances are they would've been using a different font. Go into a text editor like gedit or nano and put the " in again. If that doesn't work delete some of the code around the line and re-enter it in that editor.

Hope this helps!

I thing there is some syntax mistake..
in the zone declaration area.
So pls check the detailed error.

#service named configtest

And as per that do the necessary changes in the named.conf file.

Good luck

Replace

zone “10.0.2.in-addr.arpa” {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.10";
};

by

zone “10.18.245.in-addr.arpa” {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.10";
};


my net work is 10.18.245.0/24, so i changed 10.0.2.in-addr.arpa to 10.18.245.in-addr.arpa
and it work perfectly!
