please do not mark threads as urgent. it is not urgent to any of the lq.org members who kindly donate their time to help others. Thread also moved to Linux - Server as this is not a networking question.

Ok ... Thank you Chris
And sorry for disturbing you

Change the mode of /var/run/named/ to 755, make sure the configuration is right, and try again.

It looks like something might already be listening on port 53 ... have you used netstat to check that the port is clear?

Dear friends ... Thank you for your replies .. but nothing solved the problem
I did the following commands :
chmod 755 /var/named/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/named/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/run/
chmod 777 /var/named/chroot/var/run/named/
cd /var/named/chroot/var/named/
ln -s ../../ chroot
chkconfig --levels 235 named on
/etc/init.d/named start

but I always get the same error messages
so what to do ??? any Idea ??
Thanks

is named not already running?? everything suggests that it is... run "pidof named" to see if it's already active.

Dear Chris
I ran pidof named and I got this :
11343 11286

What this means ?
Thanks

acid_kewpie · 10-23-2007, 08:15 AM

it means that there are already named processes in existence. you can't start somethign that's already running.
