Service named start failed

I'm having a hard time progressing through the tutorials, specifically the DNS tutorial as the named service will not start.
The error message is connection refused and I don not know the reason for it as the firewall settings were reset but there were no real changes to begin with.

If you could help me, I would really appreciate it

Thanks.

do

Code: Select all

service named start
tail -20 /var/log/messages

and hopefully you can see some errors which is stopping the service running.

I think this is where the problem is. I was able to pass the first three parts of the question but I failed the last two.
