Description

First ever build from source, http://incubator.apache.org/trafficserver/docs/v2/admin/getstart.htm advises me to do
./trafficserver start
to start things up.. it failed silently.

Nothing interesting in any of the logs. (nothing at all really, other than messages about "opening logs").

Turns out only traffic_cop was running, not traffic_manager or traffic_server

Debugger on traffic manager had it exiting "Unable to find network interface eth0.".. which is true enough - I use "br0" for most things.

Traffic manager noted the problem at level "note" and then did a full exit.

A full exit should be at least level Error so I could correct the problem.
