It is quite a common occurrence in cPanel to receive such an error as rndc:
connect failed: connection refused
To get your name servers working, you will need to eliminate this error, it
is quite a simple fix and can be completed in a few minutes via the
standard cPanel /scripts
1. Login to your server as root via SSH 2. Run: /scripts/updatenow 3. Run: /scripts/fixndc
This will fix your problems some of the time, but if it does not, do the
following steps:
1. Login to your server as root via SSH 2. Run: vi /etc/rndc.conf (or vi /etc/namedb/rndc.conf on FreeBSD) replace all instances of "rndc-key" with "rndckey" 3. Run: vi /etc/named.conf (or vi /etc/namedb/named.conf on FreeBSD) replace all instances of "rndc-key" with "rndckey" 4. Run: /scripts/fixnamed 5. Run: /scripts/fixndc 6. If you received an error in the last step, run /scripts/fixndc another time. 7. Restart named (on RH this is service named restart)
