I recently installed Redhat 7.1 on a new computer to run a server and successully configured sendmail, bind, dhcpd, and a halflife server....but i've been working on innd for 2 weeks now and still have not been able to start it for the first time.

here is the error in /var/log/news/news.crit

Dec  4 20:02:15 ns1 innd: SERVER cant dbzinit /var/lib/news/history No such file or directory


here is the error in /var/log/news/news.notice

Dec  4 20:44:39 ns1 innd: SERVER outgoing 1011
