Everytime I go into WHM I get a popup error of Hostname A Entry Missing!

The server was unable to lookup an an A entry for its hostname (irc.taals-shellz.net). This is generally because the entry was never added. However this could also be the result of your nameserver(s) being down. If you would like to attempt to automaticlly add the entry, .

I click the automatically add the A entry, and it brings up the right information but when i click OK to add the A entry I get the error Adding an A entry for irc.taals-shellz.net
IP=66.90.118.125 Bind reloading on irc using rndc zone: [taals-shellz.net] Error reloading bind on irc: rndc: connect failed: connection refused Add Complete each time. I know I have added the correct hostname and dns ip's Seems like a problem in the rndc bind?

Also when I click on server status the exim is flashing red. I can restart exim and it says it starts ok, but when i look it's still red. No mail pop servers work either. Any ideas as to what the problem is. I had to have the OS resinstalled 3 days ago and been getting these errors everysince I am using Fedora OS. To my knowledge I have set the new box up the same way i had old set up. There has got to be a fix for these problems somewhere, but I'm definately not a linux guru. This problem is causing none of my accounts to /dns on irc. Any advice and help would sure be appreciated

perform the following:
/scripts/fixnamed
/scripts/fixndc
/scripts/fixndc
service named stop
service named start
( check and make sure no connection error appears when starting bind)
