Hello! I’m trying to use a custom Go plugin with my Kong, here are some details:

Kong Version: `2.0.2`  
Go Version: `go version go1.13.5 linux/amd64`  
go-pluginserver version: `Runtime Version: go1.13.5`

I updated `kong.conf` to load my plugin, and Kong successfully starts. Although, when I execute a request to the service where my plugin is set, nothing happens, when I opend `error.log` i got a lot of this message:

```bash

```

And those last three lines go on forever:

```bash
2020/04/08 16:51:24 [notice] 27050#0: signal 17 (SIGCHLD) received from 27398

2020/04/08 16:51:24 [notice] 27050#0: *19 [kong] go.lua:84 Starting go-pluginserver, context: ngx.timer

```

Am I doing something wrong ? Any help would be appreciated.

> Hi @taotao. When the go-pluginserver starts, it attempts to create a Unix domain socket in the Kong prefix; as such, you need to ensure that the Kong prefix is writeable by the user that is starting the go-pluginserver.
