the script is looking for the pidfile in the wrong path Due to changelog for pdns updated 4.2.x to 4.3.0 https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/upgrading.html#socket-dir-changed > The default socket-dir has changed to include pdns in the path. It is now > whatever is passed to --with-socketdir during configure (/var/run by default) > plus pdns. in /etc/init.d/pdns we have: pidfile="${PDNS_CHROOTDIR}/${PDNS_SOCKETDIR}/pdns${PDNS_INSTANCE:+-${PDNS_INSTANCE}}.pid" translated to /var/run/pdns.pid correct location for pidfile is - /var/run/pdns/pdns.pid (sample, without instance name) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install 2. Start /etc/init.d/pdns 3. In rc-status and /var/log/messages - process looks like was crashed, but pdns_server running and processing requests
