prosody config bug ?

Hi,

I updated my prosody package from community recently and now it won't work anymore.

It seems the config needs a pid_file variable the stock file does not have.
Setting it to /var/run/prosody/prosody.pid did not work for me.

It prevents the binary from complaining but never forks to background, "prosodyctl start" neither.

I did a clean install of course.

So, anything I missed ?

Re: prosody config bug ?

You should add it after

admins = { }
pidfile = "/var/run/prosody/prosody.pid"

I'll try to fix it in package

Re: prosody config bug ?

I am having a problem with prosody and its pidfile too.

I installed the package on a clean arch install (pacman -S prosody lua51-sec lua51-zlib).
If I try to start prosody via "systemctl start prosody.service" it fails.
Error:
mod_posix: Couldn't write pidfile at /run/prosody/prosody.pid; /run/prosody/prosody.pid: No such file or directory
general: Shutting down: Couldn't write pidfile

Arch wiki states that I should NOT alter anything regarding that pidfile (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/pr … figuration).
So how is prosody supposed to work if it can't write its pidfile?
