An error occurred while reading program configuration Unknown statement: cfg

[christheradioguy]

Hello,

Attempting to setup a brand new install of arouteserver and receiving the following error with the default configuration: "n error occurred while reading program configuration Unknown statement: cfg"

Basically, I have done the following after installing it:

• export PYTHONPATH="pwd"
• ./scripts/arouteserver setup
• cd etc/
• mv general.distrib.yml general.yml
• /opt/arouteserver/scripts/arouteserver bird --ip-ver 4 --local-files-dir /etc/bird --use-local-files header --cfg /opt/arouteserver/etc/general.yml -o /etc/bird/bird.conf

At which point I receive the error. Anyone ever encountered this before?

Hello @christheradioguy,

I’ll try to reproduce the issue ASAP and see if I’m able to get your same situation and error.

Have you tried following the installation and setup instructions documented here? https://arouteserver.readthedocs.io/en/latest/INSTALLATION.html

Thanks for the speedy reply. I had used the "install from github" instructions to build locally, except I had installed to /opt/arouteserver rather then ~/src/arouteserver

Not sure about your steps, it's not clear to me what you used for the setup command (did you use /opt/arouteserver/etc?), nor why you did mv general.distrib.yml general.yml after the configure (did you do the configure command? did you want to override the configuration generated by the configure command with the file which is distributed with the package?), anyway I've spotted an error. The --cfg argument wants the arouteserver.yml file path, and not the general.yml file. Maybe you can try again in that way?

Thanks for the reply, I was originally trying to use an old configuration, then I started messing with just trying to get it to work without following the setup guide which is why I started poking around with the distrib file.

Now with blasting away the old config and rerunning with --cfg=arouteserver.yml I can confirm it is working as expected.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I'm going to close this issue as it seems to me that is solved.
