Re: [44net] Bird Wont start.

I know it is not 44 net fully related, but I've been searching for some time. I have a vultr vps and I am trying to bgp announce my /24. When I look at the status I have this. systemctl status bird.service ● bird.service - BIRD Internet Routing Daemon (IPv4) Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/bird.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2020-11-22 18:50:13 UTC; 16min ago Process: 25329 ExecStartPre=/usr/lib/bird/prepare-environment (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 25335 ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/bird -p (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 25336 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/bird -f -u $BIRD_RUN_USER -g $BIRD_RUN_GROUP $BIRD_ARGS (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 25336 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Nov 22 18:50:13 hamrad.ca systemd[1]: Starting BIRD Internet Routing Daemon (IPv4)... Nov 22 18:50:13 hamrad.ca systemd[1]: Started BIRD Internet Routing Daemon (IPv4). Nov 22 18:50:13 hamrad.ca bird[25336]: /etc/bird/bird.conf:1:5 Unable to open log file `/var/log/bird.log': Permission denied Nov 22 18:50:13 hamrad.ca bird[25336]: bird: /etc/bird/bird.conf:1:5 Unable to open log file `/var/log/bird.log': Permission denied Nov 22 18:50:13 hamrad.ca systemd[1]: bird.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Nov 22 18:50:13 hamrad.ca systemd[1]: bird.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. I understand that my log file is the problem. But I did set the rights of the log file properly. If I list the log file i have ls -l bir** -rw-r--r-- 1 root bird 0 Nov 20 18:55 bird.log Anyone can help?
