I've moved my local portage distfiles server to a new installation, with no changes in the configuration. I expected www-servers/boa to start, but for reasons I fail to understand it won't do so:
~ # rc-service -v boa start
* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
* Executing: /lib/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh /lib/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh /etc/init.d/
boa start
* Starting boa ...
* start-stop-daemon: fopen `/run/boa.pid': No such file or directory
* Detaching to start `/usr/sbin/boa' ...

gethostbyname:: Success

Can you see anything amiss in the above setup, to explain why the server does
not start?
