Bind9.2.1 on WIN2K

[Bjorn Johansson]

Hi,

I'm in the process of trying to get a test Bind9.2.1 system up and
running under Win2K.

I'm currently experiencing the following problem:

I've installed Bind on the machine in question, copied db.cache,
NAMED.127.0.0 and named.conf files, from an existing Bind8.2.5 server,
to the 'etc' directory of the test machine(content of files below).

When I try to start the service, it fails with the message 'Error 1067'.

The following three errors are what shows up in the event log:
could not configure root hints from 'db.cache': file not found 
loading configuration: file not found 
could not configure root hints from 'db.cache': file not found 

Any suggestions as to what the problem is, would be gratefully received.

db.cache:

;       (e.g. reference this file in the "cache  .  <file>"
