DNS Resolver (unbound) / Can't change config
-
This is not a general problem that happens out of the box or with anything I have readily available. Something specific to your setups is causing this, but it's not clear yet what that is.
There must be some missing detail to reliably replicate it. Please compare other system settings and setup details, like what platform/architecture is in use (e.g. NanoBSD or full), if you have /var and /tmp in RAM disks, and anything else about the setup that might be different or unusual, especially any packages you have installed.

I remember few days ago after clean install of 2.3.4, and right after I restored 2.3.2 config, unbound was down and did not wanted to start up until I deleted the line added by pfblocker…```
server:include: /var/unbound/pfb_dnsbl.confToday I found unbound dead… and I blame wan lose connection that also triggered unbound death. https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=131242.msg723850#msg723850 -
I have also just faced this problem on my 2.3.5-RELEASE-p1 (i386) nanobsd (2g). Interesting is, that adding Host Overrides does not trigger the problem, although it changes and saves DNS Resolver configuration.
-
Just ran into this on 2.3.4-RELEASE (amd64)
Haven't had a chance to try any of the suggestions earlier in the thread, but this is a relatively new box that hasn't been around long enough to have legacy configs. Has always been on a 2.3.x release.
A confirmed solution would be really helpful.

…
The below does indeed work once off, so I need to run it every time I change the configuration.mkdir /var/unbound/test/ cp -ax /var/unbound/*.{key,pem} /var/unbound/test/Is there a bug logged for it already?
works for me.
-
This just happened to me, although my error was "/var/unbound/test/root.key" does not exist. I tried creating the test directory and copying the root.key there, but there was no change. I still couldn't save the settings for DNS Resolver.
However, I seemed to fix it by running the command: unbound-control-setup
I'd be interested to hear if this helped anyone else.

This issue is known, as the thread implies.
But 2.3.5 is old and fading out : 32 hardware is hard to find these days - some devices are kept artificially alive, mostly in museums.
Consider the issue as closed. -
I am running 64 bit, 2.4.4-RELEASE-p1
-
In that case, the issue is totally new - not related to what happened as described 2 years ago - with old pfSense versions.
Maybe some left-overs from an ancient install ?
Did you install 2.4.4-P1 from scratch, or did you upgrade from an older version ? -
very same issue here, brand new hardware, latest version 2.4.4 from scratch, no import of former config
-
Same issue? From a thread from 2 years ago... Please post your exact error your seeing.. What else your running other than clean out of the box pfsense.

When I try to change any settings in unbound I get this error message, can't even disable it :
The following input errors were detected: The generated config file cannot be parsed by unbound. Please correct the following errors: /var/unbound/test/root.key: No such file or directory [1550262886] unbound-checkconf[60539:0] fatal error: auto-trust-anchor-file: "/var/unbound/test/root.key" does not exist in chrootdir /var/unboundMy install worked fine for maybe two weeks, this issue just appeared. Not sure what this is related to.
I did disable pfb_dnsbl and pfb_filter but that didn't solve the issue. Also all the other tricks mentioned in this thread didn't work for me. Didn't try to reboot yet, hopefully tonight...Here are all the services running:

So its not a clean install, you have atleast that package installed. What else? I see avahi, ntop, snort --> So clearly its not related to a problem from 2 years ago.
I would suggest you open a thread in the pfblocker section and yell for @BBcan177 because more likely then not its related to your unbound problem.
-
Well pfblockerNG operate with the assumption that things are in /var/unbound/
Disable DNSBL then see if your mod works. -
I disabled both, pfb_dnsbl and pfb_filter, that didn't help. I don't think it has anything to do with it.
-
Disabling the pfblockerng services doesn't disable DNSBL.

DNSBL modify unbound.conf.
-
rebooting resolved the issue, hope it doesn't reappear.
-
That's one way to recreate the root.key
-
doing it manually as indicated higher up in this thread didn't solve the problem for me.
