[Debian Sarge] Installing A Bind9 Master/Slave DNS System Configuration Help

[sethtat]

AM VERY NEW TO LINUX AND BIND

I have setup two debian boxes using the The Perfect Setup - Debian Sarge (3.1)

on both and then used the master/slave setup. I am getting an error when is restart the bind services on both servers

the error is "Stopping domain name service: namedrndc: connect failed: connection refused"
and then it tries to start the services and gives no error


I have attached my two named.conf files from the master and slave.

These are the last part of the files that I changed.

Please help me get this up and running

domain - friendswd.net
master 72.16.90.178
slave 72.16.90.179

the master is my web and email server also

i am going to install a hosting controll panel. I have been using ravencore

It seems to work

If anyone has any suggestions on which one to use please let me know

You made a mistake somewhere in you DNS setup:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
friendswd.net.          10800   IN      A       82.165.133.52

;; ANSWER SECTION:
178.90.16.72.in-addr.arpa. 86392 IN     PTR     h178.90.16.72.ip.alltel.net.

The domain and IP do not point to each other.

I do not even have the registar pointing to my dns server's yet
I am trying to get them working first without errors.

I think it's a permissions problem, as some people pointed out in the comments below http://www.howtoforge.com/howto_bind_chroot_debian .
