Svscan problem

[mafren]

Hi all!

I have pfSense version 2.2.2 for i386. Since version 2.2.1 I;ve had problems with svscan. I'm trying to setuo DNS server with tinyDNS but the service svscan fails to start, hence tinyDNS also fails. Lookig deep into the startup files I noticed that the startup script for svscan (located at /usr/local/etc/rc.d/svscan.sh) is wrong. More specifically, the path to command is bad.

Currently it reads like this:
name="svscan"
rcvar="${name}_enable"
command="/usr/local/bin/svscan"
svscan_enable=${svscan_enable-"YES"}
svscan_servicedir=${svscan_servicedir-"/var/run/service"}
logdir="/var/log/svscan"

You need to change this:
command="/usr/local/bin/svscan"

To this:
command="/usr/pbi/djbdns-i386/local/bin/svscan"

Once the change is done, svscan works good!.

I'm relatively new to pfSense and I do not know if there is a bugtracker for us free (non-licensed) users. If anybody knows where this is, please let me know so I can create a ticket and have this checked.

Thought I'd let you all know how I solved my problem. Hopefully it will help many others.

Cheers!

AWESOME!

Thank you very much, finally I can get DNS setup again, have been dealing with workarounds for the last two weeks. :)

Tough luck, can't start the dns server..

I guess BIND is the next step..

Thanks, helped me a lot.

For 64 bit system the command line should be

command="/usr/pbi/djbdns-amd64/local/bin/svscan"

Tired of this PBI crap.

Do you have /usr/local/bin/svc or it's wrong as well?
