The PR assignment never actually happened, so do it now.
Comment 4 Mathieu Arnold freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-02-17 12:35:33 UTC 
So, at first, it seems you did not have:

named_program="/usr/local/sbin/named"

in your rc.conf, but that was fixed, right ?

Now, it seems you've removed the /usr/local/etc/named.conf symlink to /etc/namedb/named.conf that is created when you install the port.  You should reinstall the port, or create the symlink manually.  If you use the chroot feature, you also need the same symlink in /var/named/usr/local/etc/named.conf.
