This is an indication that a named is running but the 'rndc' command
failed to communicate with it. This usually happens when a named was
started outside of the init scripts.
Use 'ps -ef | grep named' to find all occurrences of running named
processes, kill them all, then restart. (Or use 'pkill named' or
'killall named' if you happen to have those commands installed.)

Please restore the original permissions. This would be:
sudo chown root:bind /etc/bind /etc/bind/named.conf
sudo chmod 02755 /etc/bind
sudo chmod 0644 /etc/bind/named.conf

Right. The named needs a configuration file.

You will probably have to debug the problem then. I am assuming that
the virtual machine has a unique ip address?
