did you check poermitions on the folder?
do you have selinux enable?

I have check permissions but they all seem to be correct. I am running centos. When I start named from the command prompt using

named -u named -c /etc/named.conf

I get an error that says "could not configure root hints from 'named.ca': file not found"

I am using plesk to try and restart the dns (which fails) but it uses the following command
starting BIND 9.2.4 -u named -c /etc/named.conf -u named -t /var/named/run-root

which gives the errors
Feb 8 20:52:51 compro kernel: audit(1170985971.800:12): avc: denied { unlink } for pid=6493 comm="named" name="named.pid" dev=hda3 ino=1310809 scontext=user_u:system_r:named_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:named_zone_t tclass=file
Feb 8 20:52:51 compro named[6492]: couldn't open pid file '/var/run/named/named.pid': File exists
Feb 8 20:52:51 compro named[6492]: exiting (due to early fatal error)
Feb 8 20:52:51 compro named: named startup failed


Thanks for any help.

login as root and..

"rm -rf /var/run/named/named.pid"
"killall -9 named"
"/etc/init.d/named stop"
"/etc/init.d/named start"

hopefully that should solve the problem.
