Sometimes you just get to the point where you just want a
straight-forward answer to things because you've had enough :) I'm there
now myself, so I can relate. So...
1. Are you sure named (bind9.x's executable) is not already running?
Usually if it is already running you would incant rndc reload.
2. You need an address record for named server host- ns1.thought.org. So
you need in your zone file (this is taking a bit of remembering now-
been a while since I had to edit mine... :) ):
<SOA>
NS ns1.thought.org. ; don't forget the period at the end
<other ns/mx servers>
A <ip address of web server> ; OPTIONAL: this will allow users to
just enter domain and go straight to the web server. You can also simply
CNAME hosts with the same address.
$ORIGIN thought.org. ; saves you typing - now just type in the hosts and
domain will be auto added (again don't forget the period)
ns1 A <ip address of NS>
That should get you out of trouble. The optional stuff makes it easier
for your users, and for you to maintain. Don't forget to increment your
serial :)
Now, I think you should be checking your mail server....
