Daemon not reactiing

I've already asked a similar question a few days ago. Basically I have to make a daemon-client communicate via named tubes. The client part is done and sends messages correctly, but the daemon part seems to not be receiving anything... Here's the code:

void makeDaemon(){
  int i,fd0,fd1,fd2;
  pid_t pid;
  struct sigaction sa;
  struct rlimit rl;

  umask(0);

  if(getrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE, &rl)<0) exit(EXIT_FAILURE); 

  if((pid=fork())<0) exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
  if(pid>0) exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);

  setsid();

  sa.sa_handler=SIG_IGN;
  sigemptyset(&sa.sa_mask);
  sa.sa_flags=0;

  if(sigaction(SIGHUP, &sa, NULL)<0) exit(EXIT_FAILURE);

  if((pid=fork())<0) exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
  if(pid>0) exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);

  //if(chdir("/")<0) exit(EXIT_FAILURE);

  if(rl.rlim_max=RLIM_INFINITY) rl.rlim_max=1024;
  for(i=0;i< rl.rlim_max; i++) close(i);

  close(STDIN_FILENO);
  close(STDOUT_FILENO);
  close(STDERR_FILENO);

  //sigaction(SIGUSR1,&sac,NULL);
}

int main(){
  makeDaemon();

  char* path="./run/pipes/saturnd-request-pipe";
  char* path2="./run/pipes/saturnd-reply-pipe";

  //Creation d'un pipe au cas où il n'existe pas
  //mkfireply_pipe(path,0666);
  int timeout=5000;
  struct pollfd pf[1];
    
  int request_pipe;
  

  while(1){
    request_pipe=open(path,O_RDONLY);
    if(request_pipe==-1){
        perror("Erreur d'ouverture du pipe");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    pf[0].fd=request_pipe;
    pf[0].events=POLLIN;

    int p=poll(pf,1,timeout);
      
    if(pf[0].revents & POLLIN){
      char tmp1[2];
      ssize_t s=read(request_pipe,tmp1,2);
       if(s==-1) exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
       printf("%s\n",tmp1);
       int i=1;
    }else{
      printf("Timed out\n");
      break;
    }
    return 0;
  }
}

My question is, should I maybe make a handler containing this while loop so that the daemon can receive a signal? As of right now, it just times out and dies. We cannot use sockets, and everything is done via these two names pipes. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks!
