Here is an update to this new problem that Habbie and ahu on the IRC channel helped me with.
What was happening was when pdns was launched, it would look in /usr/local/etc/ for it’s configuration files. Of course this was wrong. After some short deliberation and with a hint from Fusl in the IRC channel, I modified /etc/default/pdns to add --config-dir=/etc/powerdns in the DAEMON_ARGS=“” line. The two other options are : add this same modification to the init.d script that was generated from the compile or at the time of compile, add --sysconfdir=/etc/powerdns to the ./configure command.
Now I have a running 3.4.2 pdns but I still have the problem of the precursor responses being discarded. Right ha has me running a testrunner.
