Problem, after updating the server for the BIND server, plese named will not start.

Here is the error in Plesk:
Unable to make action: Unable to manage service by dnsmng: dnsmng: Service named failed to start
0: /usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/server/restart_services.php:19 psaerror(string “Unable to make action: Unable to manage service by dnsmng: dnsmng: Service named failed to start”)

I tried via a command line and got this:
service named start
Starting named: /etc/named.conf:6: change directory to ‘/var/named’ failed: file not found
/etc/named.conf:6: parsing failed

The Fix:
rpm -e bind-chroot
ln -sf /var/named/run-root/etc/named.conf /etc/named.conf
rm -rf /var/named/run-root/var/named/named.pid
/sbin/service named restart
