vestacp open: /etc/named.conf: permission denied

Rumi, August 1, 2022

This was the error I was getting after a doing a little change in the named.conf in my newly installed vesta control panel. While restarting the named, I was getting this error-

[root@vesta2 ~]# systemctl status named.service
● named.service - Berkeley Internet Name Domain (DNS)
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/named.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
