named service fails on restarting it

[jack alex]

i am totally new to dns and learning it through
tldp.org docs.

when i restart nameed service it says
Stopping named:                          [FAILED]
Starting named:                          [  OK  ]

i have rndc.conf file , but i couldn't have rndc
service 
when i try rndc start it says connection refused.

for reference
#/etc/named.conf

options {
        directory "/var/named";

        // Uncommenting this might help if you have to
go through a
        // firewall and things are not working out. 
But you probably
        // need to talk to your firewall admin.

        // query-source port 53;
};


key "rndc-key" {
       algorithm hmac-md5;
       secret "+3QI4eySOTZVn4zgC9k4Tg==";
};

controls {
       inet 127.0.0.1 port 953
               allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key";
};
};

zone "." {
        type hint;
        file "root.hints";
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;

        file "named/127.0.0";
};
