OpenBGPD 0.5.2 unable to start

[toomeek]

I'm trying to learn something about BGP. Right now I'm just newbie ;)
So, I have 2 VMs running with pfSense i386 2.0.1 and OpenBGPD 0.5.2.

First of all, I had problem:

bgpctl: connect: /var/run/bgpd.sock: No such file or directory

so I solved this by simple:
touch /var/run/bgpd.sock

Now I'm facing with:

bgpctl: connect: /var/run/bgpd.sock: Socket operation on non-socket

My configs:
node1

# This file was created by the pfSense package manager.  Do not edit!

AS 1
fib-update yes
holdtime 90
listen on 192.168.56.254
router-id 192.168.56.254
network 192.168.56.0/24
group "grupabgpLAN" {
	remote-as 2
		neighbor 192.168.56.0/24 {
    	 descr "BGP on LAN"
		tcp md5sig password md5p@ssword
		tcp md5sig key md5hash
		announce all  
}
}
deny from any
deny to any
allow from 192.168.56.0/24
allow to 192.168.56.0/24

node2

# This file was created by the pfSense package manager.  Do not edit!

AS 2
fib-update yes
holdtime 90
listen on 192.168.56.253
router-id 192.168.56.253
network 192.168.56.0/24
group "grupabgpLAN" {
	remote-as 1
		neighbor 192.168.56.0/24 {
    	 descr "grupa-bgp-LAN"
		tcp md5sig password md5p@ssword
		tcp md5sig key md5hash
		announce all  
}
}
deny from any
deny to any
allow from 192.168.56.253
allow to 192.168.56.253

Probably something I did not understand..

Hi,

I ran into the same problem with OpenBGP not starting.
touch /var/run/bgpd.sock does not fix the issue, remove that file; rm /var/run/bgpd.sock

The problem is with the permissions on the config file. To fix this run
/var/etc/openbgpd/bgpd.conf

Restart and openbgp should start. I am going to try contact the package maintainer about this

I am facing the same problem , what do you mean by "run /var/etc/openbgpd/bgpd.conf" ?
