[Olsr-users] Problem starting olsrd with Quagga Plugin

[Immo 'FaUl' Wehrenberg]

Hallo Frank,

Excellent ;-)

> When I attempt to execute olsrd with the Quagga Plugin enabled, I receive

> OLSR EXIT: AIIIII, could not connect to zebra! is zebra running?
> Terminated

Can you confirm where your zebra-socket is? (netstat -lp) On some system it 
is an tcp-socket on port 2600, on other systems it is an Unix Domain Socket 
usally located at /var/run/quagga/zserv.api. 

Per default the quagga-plugin looks for /var/run/quagga/zserv.api and if the
connect failes, the message above is issued. 

If your quagga listened on TCP (for security-reasons this is not recommend as 
anybody from localhost can change routes) you must comment out the 
CFLAGS +=-DUSE_UNIX_DOMAIN_SOCKET
line in the Makefile.
