When starting znc as a daemon, it is working fine, but execution finishes with the following error: znc | * start-stop-daemon: did not create a valid pid in `/run/znc/znc.pid' znc | * Failed to start znc [ !! ] znc | * ERROR: znc failed to start Daemon is running in the background, but rc-status says it it stopped: znc [ stopped ] znc 11500 0.0 0.0 174228 7704 ? Ssl 17:05 0:00 /usr/bin/znc --datadir /var/lib/znc
emerge --info znc please
Did you check that your config contains the line PidFile = /run/znc/znc.pid?

(In reply to Louis Sautier from comment #2) > Did you check that your config contains the line > PidFile = /run/znc/znc.pid? Yes, I've got this option. /run/znc is owned by znc:znc and chmod 770.
Can you attach the output of /etc/init.d/znc start? There should be a line which contains the path to the PID file.

I keep thinking there's something wrong with your config. This is what you should see: [ .. ] Forking into the background... [ >> ] [pid: 30268] [ .. ] Writing pid file [/run/znc/znc.pid]... [ >> ] ok [ ** ] ZNC 1.6.3 - http://znc.in [ ok ]
# /etc/conf.d/znc # Location of the znc configuration folder ZNC_DATADIR="/var/lib/znc" # User to run znc as ZNC_USER="znc" # Group to run znc as ZNC_GROUP="znc" # PID file ZNC_PIDFILE="/run/znc/znc.pid" # You can use this configuration option to pass additional options to the # start-stop-daemon, see start-stop-daemon(8) for more details. # Per default we wait 1000ms after we have started the service to ensure # that the daemon is really up and running. ZNC_SSDARGS="--wait 1000" # The termination timeout (start-stop-daemon parameter "retry") ensures # that the service will be terminated within a given time (30 + 5 seconds # per default) when you are stopping the service. ZNC_TERMTIMEOUT="TERM/30/KILL/5"
This is the init script config. What I meant was this: # grep PidFile /var/lib/znc/configs/znc.conf PidFile = /run/znc/znc.pid By the way, you should have seen a message on the first merge: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/net-irc/znc/files/README.gentoo#n20
Yep, I missed that. Thanks for help!
