Servers guru, Im with problems starting named

[Henrique]

I tryied this commands
starting: /etc/rc.d/init.d/named start
stopping: /etc/rc.d/init.d/named stop
restarting: /etc/rc.d/init.d/named restart
and these
service named restart
service named stop
service named reload
service named start

when I try start, I get an OK, but it is not starting...

and when I try stop I get
Stopping named: rndc: connect failed: connection refused

what is the problem?

Thanks,

maybe time to go through the config

[Henrique]

How can I go trou the config? can you explain me please?

[Henrique]

bump... urgent question...

[Sami]

most likely your
/etc/named.conf

is configured wrong.
