Named server problem
 

Sir

I have configured named server in centos 5.2 but when I start named
[root@pailan /]# service named start
Starting named:
Error in named configuration:
/etc/named.conf:3: expected quoted string near '“'
[FAILED]
Help me to solve the problem

for last three day I tried to configure dns but I cant
I have attached named.txt

Looks like you just need to change your special quote symbol to just a normal quote. When I look at the text file I see several lines that don't have normal quotes.

directory “/var/named/�;
dump-file�/var/named/data/cache_dump.db�;
statistics-file�/var/named/data/named_stats.txt�;
include�/etc/rndc.key�;

all of those lines have some funky symbol instead of quotes.

Try install yum install caching-nameserver
 

Try install

yum install caching-nameserver

and then start named service
