Hi Martin,

my socket is at /usr/local/var/run/. I am running bird on a VM, the first time I run Bird it worked, but then I reboot my VM and now I get this error..

Thanks,

Hi Fabiano,

you need to specify the correct path your the control socket via `birdc
-s <path>`. You apparently built your bird with PREFIX=/usr/local but
the control socket is not there. Have you checked whether it is at
`/run/bird.ctl` instead?

Best,

Martin
