After I updated one of my Centos Servers, bind/named was broken giving out error :

cannot access '/var/named/run-root/var/named': No such file or directory
Error in named configuration
/etc/named.conf:6: parsing failed

Seems like the latest ‘yum update’ broke the named configuration, I had to rebuild the named.conf using the plesk tool dnsmng:

1
2
3
4

cd /var/named/run-root/etc
cp named.conf named.conf.old
for domain in `ls`; do /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/dnsmng update $domain; done;
service named restart
