could not start named.conf

[Adriatik Allamani]

Thanks for the help.


I added the line:

};

pid-file "/var/named/named.pid";

};

in the named.conf file. But it comes again with errors:
Aug 13 16:00:46 ns1 named[4142]: starting BIND 9.2.4
Aug 13 16:00:46 ns1 named[4142]: using 2 CPUs
Aug 13 16:00:46 ns1 named[4142]: loading configuration from
'/etc/named.conf'
Aug 13 16:00:46 ns1 named[4142]: /etc/named.conf:43: unknown option
'pid-file'
Aug 13 16:00:46 ns1 named[4142]: loading configuration: failure
Aug 13 16:00:46 ns1 named[4142]: exiting (due to fatal error)


Actually I am not good in Linux.


Thanks
