Modified Unbound DNS configuration never restarts

[mvdheijkant]

Every time I modify some Unbound DNS setting, but mostly Overrides, the service does not restart.
It does stop running after the settings are saved.
Also trying to do a manual start does not work. It halts for a few seconds showing it wants to start, but nothing happens.
Only after a reboot the service is again up and running.


Does anyone has an explanation for this behavior, and can it be resolved, or where can I find any logging why the service does not restart?

Thanks.

Try running unbound-checkconf after your changes are made, it might show what it's not happy about.

Or this on the console:

# configctl unbound check

thanks franco and cookiemonster,

nothing found yet.
I ran both commands before changing anything and after. no errors found.
I feel a bit foolish, because now the issue doesn't happen (version OPNsense 22.1.10-amd64 from last night), whatever i try.
Still i'm not convinced that it won't happen after Opnsense has run for a while.
I will keep you updated.
