I managed to get it working, so updating here: chroot is enabled on unbound by default, so that's why it couldn't see any of the python libs in /usr/lib/python2.7. Turning chroot off with chroot: "" fixed the issue. I also had to make sure the python script was readable by the unbound user.
Can I suggest adding to unbound.conf man file that chroot has to be disabled for it to work? Or, whatever other permutations would allow it to work with it enabled (I'm not sure). > On Jul 21, 2017, at 2:16 PM, Christopher Hearn <[email protected]> wrote: > > I've installed unbound from the stable repos on debian jessie 8.8, unbound > version 1.4.22.
