Proper way to start Bird

[keksbg]

Hello,

It appears you haven't launched BIRD for it to 1. create the socket, and
2. to listen on it.
If you don't have any other manually started running instances (to
verify, run ps -aux | grep bird and check if there are any other
instances), you should just run systemctl start bird and if you want it
to auto-start, systemctl enable bird.

P.S.: sorry for mailing in private, I clicked on the wrong button.
