if you want to change all files owned by an user to be owned by a different user, there is a trick. figure our old owner id. for example with

ls -n

this will list you numeric ids of the owner. use the id with the command bellow

find /path/ -uid numeric_uid -exec chown newgroup.newuser '{}' ';'

webmin and centos will usually default to bind-chroot installation and webmin will have the chroot paths set for named.conf
for some reason, in my centos 6.2 setup there was a folder permission issue which prevented the pid file from being created.
chmod 770 /var/named/chroot/etc/
and then it started

one more thing to pay attention to. if you setup virtualmin and use the local named for your domains, then you have to set 127.0.0.1 as the first entry in /etc/resolv.conf

Daniel wrote a nice article on phpfreaks.com describing why it's bad practice to use "or die()" in your php code.

Reasons such as:

1. It's not a very nice way to present the user with an error message.
2. Using for instance the mysql_error() call with it, as many people do, exposes information that should never get output in a production environment
3. You cannot catch the error in any way.
4. You cannot log the error.
5. You cannot control whether it should be output to the screen or not. It's okay to do that in a development environment, but certainly not in a production environment.
6. It prevents you from doing any sort of cleanup. It just ends the script abruptly.
