What does /var/log/messages tell you? Most likely it’s a named.conf issue.

italianiceboy,

go the the directory that root.cache should be in

im guessing that the commands should be like this

cd /var/named/chroot/var/named

dig @a.root-servers.net . ns > root.cache

chown named:named root.cache

service named restart

and all should be well
