DNS: named wont start

[cybernet]

Ok im really having trouble on this one, using plesk 7.5.4 on FC3, i cant get named to start either by plesk or manually.... when i try it manually i get this error

Starting named: /bin/chown: cannot access `/var/named/run-root/var/named': No such file or directory

I tried replacing named.conf by named.conf.default and it didnt helped

Anyone can help me?

Is the fact that i got another machine running plesk (same setup) have to do anything with it, they dont use the same dns tho one point to x.x.x.179 and the other to x.x.x.182

On the faulty box, did you verify that

/var/named/run-root/var/named

exists? And compare the ownership and permissions to that of a working box?

This is a problem with named not liking SELINUX on Fedora core 3.

Disable SELINUX:

edit /etc/sysconfig/selinux

Change

SELINUX=enforcing

to

SELINUX=disabled

Reboot.
