BIND not running in chroot

I have successfully configured BIND on Arch. When I put in into chroot it will not work.
There is nothing in the log files in /srv/named/var/log/.
tcpdump shows no DNS port 53 output leaving the server when I run

dig @127.0.0.1 archlinux.com

I did run this command:

journalctl -xfl -u named

output:

I have looked up the error messages
rndc: connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953: connection refused
named.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE

I did not find anything helpful.

What else can I do to troubleshoot this problem?

Re: BIND not running in chroot

I've just had a similar problem due to a inconsistent configuration:

- check access rights/ownership for /etc/named.conf  and your ...path.../named directory with zone files, whether userid "named" has access
- check the path directive "directory" in /etc/named.conf, whether it points to the correct folder with your zone-files
- check whether your "directory" contains all the default files, e.g. 127.0.0.zone
