Can anyone help me resolve this named failure report

When I upgraded bind I had trouble writing /var/log too.

I moved the bind output logs down one level, /var/log/named-logs/
updating my config and allowing write access to the bind user for
the new directory.

I think I had trouble with the pid file, but I think I resolved
that by removing the one written by root by the older daemon and
allowing named to write a new one, for the new user. Named did
not have access to overwrite a file created by root.

Your problems may be completely different.
