      Interesting…looks like you may have remnants of an old package lying around which might be the cause of your problems.
      The fact that Watchdog still has it in its list is a good indicator of this.

      Sorry you have had problems with the package its been kind(er) to others.
      Its going into 2.2 as a replacement for DNSMasq so no longer will it be a package. Might be a better experience for you then.

        Just noting that I reinstalled unbound multiple times on multiple boxes without any problems whatsoever after the latest batch of commits… So yeah, you probably have some state junk leftovers on your box.

          States get reset on reboot, no?  Don't think it's states unless only a state reset will do.  So I should console ipkg list then ipkg remove package.name?  Or is more cleanup needed?

            Check your config.xml for multiple entries for Unbound.
            Look between <installedpackages>xml tags.</installedpackages>

              ./conf.default/config.xml or ./cf/conf/config.xml?

                  Same thing /conf is a link of /cf/conf

                  mark62 are you running pfsense 2.1 that has been upgraded? Likely you need to manually clean out unbound.

                  Uninstall unbound
                  Turn on rw
                  Find / -name *unbound*
                  Delete everything you can find
                  /conf/config.XML clear out all everything to do with unbound. Backup first maybe.
                  Once you are sure you have killed everything reinstall.
                  If you have problems with internet try adding a DNS to resolv.conf

                    Yeah but /conf.default is not the same thing thats used, as an example, for reverting to factory defaults.

                        Thanks guys.  Where are the firmware upgrades and package upgrades hosted to do a DNS resolve on?  Same for both?  Do I just need pfsense.com.  Suppose a netstat during a temp pkg install might answer for one of the two.  Hope the host IP doesn't change often.  Good suggestion to locally resolve should happen to scramble Unbound again.

                        I find one unbound install in the xml after I had uninstalled the pkg by GUI this morning.  As well, two unbound files remain.  I'll clean these up tonight, cron a reboot, and report back.

                        Really appreciate your help…

                            Cleaned the XML of remnant Unbound package info.  The reinstall went well and seems to be working normally now.  Odd though, the install reported 21_1 rather than 21_3.  After install the "Installed Packages" reports 21_3.  And the Unbound Status reports 21_3.  Looks like outgoing-num-tcp: 0 & incoming-num-tcp: 0 are still making it from GUI to XML.

                              Great! Wagonza updated the file already so the configuration should be working properly as you see.

                              As far as I can see its just the packages list xml has the newer version number and the unbound package xml has the older version number still. Wagonza just needs to update that line.

                                Yup that's all. Package just needs a rebuild on the package servers as well. Glad to hear all ok markn62.

                                  Not what I was hoping to report.  Thought all was well after the reinstall.  Watched for about an hour and everything appeared normal.  Bout 30 minutes after I walked away Unbound died and would not restart.  Pointed back to the stand-alone unbound service AGAIN.  This is getting so frustrating!

                                    Any logs (both system and package logs) giving an indication as to why?

                                      You will need to be much clearer and specific.

                                      What do you mean it died? Still running but not responding? Crashed/No process?
                                      What do you see in system.log? Or any other pertinent logs. Better yet pastebin the log so we can look.
                                      Am I assuming correctly you mean a separate box running unbound when you say stand-alone unbound service?

                                      Is this a fresh 2.1 installation or a upgrade from prior versions to 2.1?
                                      If an upgrade what packages do you have installed using pkg_info on the shell?

                                        By died I mean the unbound service stopped on it's own after about an hour of normal operation and the watchdog or manual restart wouldn't get it started again.  Yes, stand-alone means a separate box.  It is an upgrade from 2.0 to 2.1.  Pkg_Info reports no packages installed even though there are.  I'm not certain the name and location of the system and package log. I could binpaste the SNMP log if I knew how.  Is that the insert code button?  Bout 100 lines of text probably best not pasted in this post.

                                            Forum access is with a PC other than what has access to the router logs so it would take me a bit to transfer files around and post here.  For now here is the SNMP; http://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=kTkuRnzX  I hope I binpasted correctly using a hyperlink. As mentioned, a manual restart would do nothing.  The service would remain unstarted.

                                            A quick look via the GUI edit file I find php_errors.txt is empty even though the SNMP shows some.  The router was rebooted early AM by cron.  The unbound log only has CLOG and some odd symbol after the word.  The system log has plenty and isn't cooperative by remote login.  Large file I suppose.  May have to post the system log this evening.
