Issue no External DNS

[freebs]

Server operating system version

Rocky Linux 8.10

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.65.1

New to Plesk... installed on rocky linux v8
Glue records on namecheap... everything resolves to where it's supposed to from outside plesk. I used whats my dns to test.

However, I have no DNS on Plesk box.., I did until I enabled a domain on it... it only has one right now.

i cannot ping or nslookup or dig..... named-chroot is running... no errors come back from named-checkconf.

resolv.conf is empty.. even if I add nameserver 1.1.1..1.. no dice... I'm sure I'm missing something stupid.. but I just don't know.
