      I have a brand-spanking new installation of pfSense 2.0.2-RELEASE, no extra packages installed.

      I've just installed the Avahi package, gone through setting that service up, but the service itself won't start.

      when i try to start it from services, even though the notification at the top of the page says service started, the service still shows a stopped state.

      My logs show only this error: php: /status_services.php: The command '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/avahi-daemon.sh stop' returned exit code '1', the output was 'No matching processes were found Stopping dbus. rm: /var/run/dbus/dbus.pid: No such file or directory'

      I've verified the file /var/run/dbus/dbus.pid exists, have even deleted it manually and started dbus manually which recreates the file.

      Any direction would be appreciated.

        Hi!

        Just want to know if you managed to get it going? I'm stuck here with the same error (pfSense 2.0.3), and before I'm about to dig in I thought I should ask first. :-)
