look in the registry under ISC BIND to make sure that the default location for named.conf is really that.
Registry? No prob This is first I'm hearing that the reg must be consulted, but thats a cakewalk, will do >Sorry thats evident. >Would you have any sample zone files I can diff against the ones I've made >that are barfing my BIND install, please??? bind will fail to start if it can find named.conf. once you get that found and loaded, this bind should start logging (have to uncomment the logging statement in named.conf) and you debug the errors in named.run until there are none. bind9 will fail to start if there are major errors named.conf, like missing zone file. >Read the IMail u/g .pdf cover to cover, see the Imail mailing list >archives, and ipswitch knowledge base. >Will do, also read the ISC Bind admin PDF last night which is where I made >my sample zone files from. >I would install Bind, make an empty named.conf, it worked. >THEN I would make one forward and one reverse zone, and everything went to >hell The zone files in my sample config are valid, compare what you have against them, or start with them and modify to fit your zone data. take any other BIND or IMail issues to the appropriate mailing list.
