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)

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**

Anyone can help?

Seems pretty obvious to me from the journalctl output you showed:
- There should be a new unix account and group being used by the
$BIRD_RUN_USER -g $BIRD_RUN_GROUP . You need to know what those are
- Those unix accounts and groups need to be given access to the Bird
config and log files ( /var/log/bird.log ) for example:
sudo chmod 664 /var/log/bird.log

If the bird daemon is not running as root, e.g. it’s running as user “bird” then you need
to “chmod g+w” on the log file. Currently only the root user has write permission to that
file.
Check what the daemon is running as: ps aux
Try deleting/moving the log file and restarting bird, see what permissions it creates the
log file with.

Hi Pierre,
The BIRD_RUN_USER environment variable is set in /etc/bird/envvars, e.g.
running 'sudo grep BIRD_RUN /etc/bird/envvars' should return something
like this for a default installation:
BIRD_RUN_USER=bird
BIRD_RUN_GROUP=bird
Run 'sudo chown bird:bird /var/log/bird.log' to set the logfile
ownership, and 'sudo chmod 0640 /var/log/bird.log' to set the file
permissions.
If you're not using the default config, change 'bird:bird' to whatever
user and group are set in /etc/bird/envvars.
