I had changed the permission of '/var/run/named/named.pid' to 777 but still
I am getting above errors

I shall highly appreciate if someone could let me know what and where i am doing wrong.

Show your named.conf and zone files.

Hello Mr. C,
Thank you for having a look at my problem I am inserting my named conf
and all zone files for your review I have changed ip addresses and
server names if you need as it is please let me know.

include "/etc/rndc.key";
