<![CDATA[Quagga, unable to start if configured via RAW config]]>Reproed on 2.2.3-p1 and on 2.3.3-RELEASE-p1

I've tried to clean and reinstall my Quagga ospf. Cleaned the values on the Global/Interface settings since they are overridden with RAW config anyway

Quagga won't start.

Uninstalled the Quagga. Cleaned up the router configuration file from all settings related to previously removed quagga.

Did clean restore. Installed Quagga. Copy-pasted RAW settings. Neither Zebra nor ospf able to start

Getting through the system log, I found out daemon unable to locate setting file. So I had to enter some info to start. I did Zebra password and ospf area

Than, I re-pasted raw settings to trigger override and it started fine with all RAW settings taken into account

I think, it need some kind of "touch quagga_config_files" is needed if it is provisioned with RAW-only settings

I've done a dummy config and then used the raw config fields to do whatever i want after that.

Apr  3 00:48:25 router php-fpm[35902]: /rc.start_packages: Quagga OSPFd: No config data found.
Apr  3 00:48:54 router php-fpm[41408]: /pkg_edit.php: Quagga OSPFd: No config data found.

1. Quagga is installed.

2. Copy-paste raw ospfd.conf and zebr.conf

3. Save

4. Services -> Restart (Quagga OSPFd  & Quagga Zebra)

Result - Quagga won't start

Once some Quagga settings are set, it works with RAW settings, even though these non-raw settings are not used (overridden) by RAW
