I am having problems tying any actual domains of mine to specific IP addresses in CPanel. I was able to get my nameservers working and accessible though. I have tried various tutorials around the net with no luck. There appears to be some permission denied error when a site/user gets created you can see below. Here is an example of a site I added. I am able to access the site via browser with the IP only but not with the domain name.

What's your output for:
lsattr /var/ | grep named

and
ll /var/ | grep named

Maybe the permissions or attributes changed somehow.
