      Error:

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

      Problem:

      Service not started

      RAW CONFIG:

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

      AS 65002
      fib-update yes
      listen on 192.168.56.101
      network
      group "group65001" {
      remote-as 65001
      neighbor 192.168.56.201 {
      descr "cisco 65001"
      announce all 
      local-address 192.168.56.101
      }
      }
      deny from any
      deny to any
      allow from 192.168.56.201
      allow to 192.168.56.201

      My action:

      1. Change target location of configuration file replaced , because error: /usr/local/etc/bgpd.conf is not readable ( absent in fact)
        Original:

      vi /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openbgpd
      required_files="/usr/local/etc/bgpd.conf"

      Replace:

      vi /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openbgpd
      required_files="/var/etc/openbgpd/bgpd.conf"

      Now i see no error but not started

      [2.3.4-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.localdomain]/usr/local/sbin: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openbgpd restart
      openbgpd not running?
      Starting openbgpd.
      [2.3.4-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.localdomain]/usr/local/sbin: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openbgpd start –help
      Starting openbgpd.

      How can i see logs fail-start or anythings think of start service?

        Solved. Just wrong config. Need more accurate and not more. ( not edit files, chown and other, just config )

        Good config must be:

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

        AS 65002
        fib-update yes
        holdtime 30
        listen on 0.0.0.0
        router-id 192.168.56.101
        network 192.168.57.0/24
        group "GR_65001" {
        remote-as 65001
        neighbor 192.168.56.201 {
        descr "to_as_65001"
        announce all 
        local-address 0.0.0.0
        }
        }
        deny from any
        deny to any
        allow from 192.168.56.201
        allow to 192.168.56.201
