Bind wont work on a fresh Redhat 9 Installation

Hello,

I have just installed Redhat 9.0 on my server and it seems to have a problem with Bind.

When i try to locate bind named.conf it gives me.

root@HOSTNAME [/scripts]# locate named.conf
/usr/share/man/man5/named.conf.5.gz
/etc/log.d/conf/services/named.conf

shouldnt named be located at /etc/named.conf ?

When i try pico -w /etc/named.conf, nothing appears there.

And in WHM, When I try to restart named, it gives me the following error:


Attempting to restart named
Waiting for named to restart.... . . . . . . . . . . finished.

named status


named has failed, please contact the sysadmin (result was "named is not running").


--------

When I run the script. /scripts/fixndc it gives the folllowing error:

root@HOSTNAME [/scripts]# /scripts/fixndc
Fixndc using rh9/rhes3/fedora support
Adding key...
Adding controls...
Adding hint zone...
cp: cannot stat `/etc/namedb/named.conf': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `/etc/namedb/named.conf.fixndc': No such file or directory
Restarting bind.....Waiting for named to restart..............finished.


named has failed, please contact the sysadmin (result was "named is not running").
Done
All fixed

and when I run /scripts/fixnamed, nothing happens.

And named doesnt show up under the Service status in WHm

What is going on?

can you please help me.


Thank you
