os x server saves dns files on root instead of /Library/server/named

my attempts to activate dns-sd on my os x server installation have somehow broken where it saves dns settings! db.[FQDN] files are NOT going to /Library/server/named where they used to (and where Edit Hostname looks for them) but are being dumped right on the root folder. what file do i edit to get dns to look at the right filepath?
