Thank you Tim It is now working, I am editing the configuration, and check if they all fine by "bird -p", then after I do "birdc configure" to save the configuration in bird.conf.
Thanks all for the support.

Use a working config, start bird, made your changes and do an birdc configure or bird -p I sounds that your configuration is wrong has syntax error or similar and prevent bird form restarting. > I deleted bird.conf and restaured default bird.conf the issue was solved, by editing again bird.conf and restarting the service, bird.ctl is droped again. DO the same again, but don't restart bird, use "birdc configure" or "bird -p" for test your bird.conf.
