Ubuntu bind9 DNS Problems cannot restart

Here's my current setup:

• Ubuntu 10.04
  
• Lighttpd
  
• PHP 5.3.2
  
• MySQL 5.1.41
  
• Bind9
  
• Proftpd
  
• Postfix
  
• Dovecot
  
• Froxler (SysCP branch-off)
  

When I go to run it via this command:

/etc/init.d/bind9 restart

I get the following error message:

* Stopping domain name service... bind9 rndc: connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953: connection refused

[ OK ]

* Starting domain name service... bind9 [fail]

This is my /etc/bind/named.conf.options file:

options {
       directory "/var/cache/bind";

       // If there is a firewall between you and n$
       // to talk to, you may need to fix the fire$
       // ports to talk.  See http://www.kb.cert.o$

       // If your ISP provided one or more IP addr$
       // nameservers, you probably want to use th$
       // Uncomment the following block, and inser$
       // the all-0's placeholder.

       // forwarders {
       //      0.0.0.0;
       // };

       auth-nxdomain no;    # conform to RFC1035
       listen-on-v6 { any; };
       allow-transfer {
               208.89.208.232;
               208.89.208.235;
};

I've looked at various solutions already:
