This looks like a bit of a problem, perhaps ; is not the comment
character for the version of named you're running? I just upgraded my
home box to 4.9.7, and haven't made the 8.x jump yet, so I can't say for
certain.

Or more specifically, it's that named.ca file that your named.conf file
mentions that you presumably do not have, which as Vincent points out is
the root nameserver cache. Without that, your server has nowhere to
start looking when you give it a request.
BTW Vincent, could you please stop attaching the entire preceeding
message to your posts? Simply quoting the bits that are needed to give
context for your reply is much better.
