named problem

[mufasa]

I have searched and searched for a solution to my problem but cannot seem to find an answer, can anyone please help me with this:

Using Fedora 7

When Trying to start the service named I get:

[root@host ~]# /etc/init.d/named start
Starting named:
Error in named configuration:
/etc/named.conf:3: change directory to '/var/named/chroot/var/named' failed: file not found

/etc/named.conf:3: parsing failed
[FAILED]

I have followed the perfect server setup for bind to the letter numerous times:

chmod 755 /var/named/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/named/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/run/
chmod 777 /var/named/chroot/var/run/named/
cd /var/named/chroot/var/named/
ln -s ../../ chroot
chkconfig --levels 235 named on
/etc/init.d/named start

Still get the same error!

My DNS settings on ispconfig are:

BIND User: named
BIND Group: named

Named.conf : /var/named/chroot/var/named/
Zonefiles Dir: /var/named/chroot/var/named/

The Output of ls -la /var/named/chroot/var/named is:

drwxrwxr-x 6 root named 4096 2008-05-22 07:19 ..

Can anyone please give me some advice on this as I am now stuck!

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thank-you
