With Redhat-4.2 you need to start by having a symbolic-link in
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S55named.init pointing to /etc/rc.d/init.d/named.init
To make the link do;
cd /etc/rc.d/rc3.d
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/named.init S55named.init
It would seem you have cut out some of the named.init file or it is corrupt,
named.init should look like;
#!/bin/sh
#
# lpd This shell script takes care of starting and stopping
# lpd (printer daemon).
#
# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network
# Check that networking is up.
[ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0
[ -f /usr/sbin/named ] || exit 0
[ -f /etc/named.boot ] || exit 0
# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
# Start daemons.
echo -n "Starting named: "
daemon named
echo
touch /var/lock/subsys/named
;;
stop)
# Stop daemons.
echo -n "Shutting down named: "
killproc named
echo "done"
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/named
;;
*)
echo "Usage: named {start|stop}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
On the command line to test your script you can do;
'/etc/rc.d/init.d/named.init start'
or if you are in ../init.d
'./named.init start'
you should then get a return of;
Starting named: named and the get your prompt back.
The symlink mentioned above will start named at boottime.
There was a mail from some "knowing one" who explaned just how the boot
sequence works via symlinks with an exacht account of what each command
does, that mail could be found on;
http://www.findmail.com/listsaver/linux-newbie/info.html
The only problem with the archive is that it has no "Search Engine" making
it hard to find just the mail your looking for, maybe someone could express
the need for such an option in that archive to its maintainer.??
Your httpd problem is possably caused by your machine not having a valid
'hostname' if so you will need to edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and enter
a "valid" ServerName, Read the comments above that line first, its very
important, and tells you what to do if you are unsure.

Hope this helps.
