[SOLVED] mdns-repeater doesn't want to start

[Evert]

Hi,

We are trying to run mdns-repeater on 3 CARP-enabled VLAN-interfaces. I have enabled the plugin, checked the 'CARP'-box, and selected the 3 interfaces.
When I try to start the service, it immediately craps out, with no error on the web gui. The console reports:
<13>1 2024-01-24T08:17:04+01:00 gateway.domain.com root 46106 - [meta sequenceId="7"] /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mdns-repeater: WARNING: /var/run/mdns-repeater.CARP_MASTER is not readable.

I took a peek in /var/run, and there's no mdns-repeater.CARP_MASTER there.

I got the answer from https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/issues/3298 .

It was not apparent (to me) that I had to reboot after configuring mdns-repeater  8)
