QUAGGA OSPF not working after upgrade 2.3.1

oben

I'm having difficulties with getting quagga going again after the upgrade. Again the persistence of settings between removal and installation of packages appears to make all the bad things stick aswell.

I wish there was a way of removng EVERYTHING associated with a package.

Here is the log showing the problem…

May 21 08:39:13 zebra 45061 client 13 says hello and bids fair to announce only ospf routes

No neighbours are ever shown in status.

Any help appreciated.

I upgraded three systems to 2.3.1 that had quagga (four really, one was an HA cluster) and all were fine.

Check to see if it's already running:

: ps uxawww | grep quagga

If you see it running, kill it and also

rm /var/run/quagga/*

And then restart from the GUI. If it's not running, try just the rm.
