by Dyna Guy 23 May '13

23 May '13

I am a newbie to FS and I want learn it. So I setup a Centos 5.2 (fresh install) and followed the instruction on the wiki installed the new Freeswitch v1.0.3. After the installation I can start FS by issus command "/usr/local/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch". After that I copied freeswitch.init.centos5 to /etc/init.d/freeswitch and chmod it to 755. Reboot the server and FS is not running. If I try the start up script: [root@localhost build]# /etc/init.d/freeswitch start Starting freeswitch: [ OK ] [root@localhost build]# /etc/init.d/freeswitch status freeswitch dead but subsys locked Did I miss somthing here? Please help. Thanks a lot. dynaguy Here is the copy of the origenal freeswitch.init.centos5 ---------------------------- [root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/init.d/freeswitch #!/bin/bash # # /etc/rc.d/init.d/freeswitch # # The FreeSwitch Open Source Voice Platform # # chkconfig: 345 89 14 # description: Starts and stops the freeswitch server daemon # processname: freeswitch # config: /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/freeswitch.conf # pidfile: /usr/local/freeswitch/log/freeswitch.pid # # Source function library. . /etc/init.d/functions PROG_NAME=freeswitch PID_FILE=${PID_FILE-/usr/local/freeswitch/log/freeswitch.pid} FS_USER=${FS_USER-freeswitch} FS_FILE=${FS_FILE-/usr/local/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch} FS_HOME=${FS_HOME-/usr/local/freeswitch} LOCK_FILE=/var/lock/subsys/freeswitch FREESWITCH_ARGS="-nc" RETVAL=0 # Source options file if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/freeswitch ]; then . /etc/sysconfig/freeswitch fi # <define any local shell functions used by the code that follows> start() { echo -n "Starting $PROG_NAME: " if [ -e $LOCK_FILE ]; then if [ -e $PID_FILE ] && [ -e /proc/`cat $PID_FILE` ]; then echo echo -n $"$PROG_NAME is already running."; failure $"$PROG_NAME is already running."; echo return 1 fi fi cd $FS_HOME daemon --user $FS_USER --pidfile $PID_FILE "$FS_FILE $FREESWITCH_ARGS $FREESWITCH_PARAMS >/dev/null 2>&1" echo RETVAL=$?

Check if UA is still there?
by Peter Steinbach 03 May '13

03 May '13

Hello, is there a way to check if a UA is still available? The reason is, that sometimes a channel hangs and is not being terminated because the UA was disconnected due to a network failure. As the media is outside Freeswitch (bypass media), it is difficult for us to determine, if the call is still active. Meanwhile the B leg to PSTN is also not hungup and produces costs. Is there a way Freeswitch can detect this? Or is there a way Freeswitch may send a SIP message to the UA by an external process and wait for an OK which can be captured e.g. by event socket interface? An help is welcome. -- With kind regards Peter Steinbach Telefaks Services GmbH mailto:lists (att) telefaks.de Internet: www.telefaks.de

Sofia fails to detect offline gateway
by Steven Ayre 03 Jan '13

03 Jan '13

Hi Guys, A couple of our gateways have been shut down for hardware upgrades. However, the FreeSWITCH servers didn't spot the gateways go offline so they're still trying to send calls to them. I see this in the logs: 2011-01-11 09:35:05.396610 [WARNING] sofia.c:3981 Ping failed gw4 with code 503 - count 1/0/10, state UP 2011-01-11 09:35:05.396610 [WARNING] sofia.c:3981 Ping failed gw3 with code 503 - count 1/0/10, state UP 2011-01-11 09:35:13.408674 [WARNING] sofia.c:3981 Ping failed gw4 with code 503 - count 1/0/10, state UP 2011-01-11 09:35:13.408674 [WARNING] sofia.c:3981 Ping failed gw3 with code 503 - count 1/0/10, state UP 2011-01-11 09:35:21.420884 [WARNING] sofia.c:3981 Ping failed gw4 with code 503 - count 1/0/10, state UP 2011-01-11 09:35:21.420884 [WARNING] sofia.c:3981 Ping failed gw3 with code 503 - count 1/0/10, state UP 2011-01-11 09:35:29.458114 [WARNING] sofia.c:3981 Ping failed gw4 with code 503 - count 1/0/10, state UP 2011-01-11 09:35:29.458114 [WARNING] sofia.c:3981 Ping failed gw3 with code 503 - count 1/0/10, state UP 2011-01-11 09:35:37.472424 [WARNING] sofia.c:3981 Ping failed gw4 with code 503 - count 1/0/10, state UP 2011-01-11 09:35:37.472424 [WARNING] sofia.c:3981 Ping failed gw3 with code 503 - count 1/0/10, state UP 2011-01-11 09:35:46.475934 [WARNING] sofia.c:3981 Ping failed gw4 with code 503 - count 1/0/10, state UP 2011-01-11 09:35:46.475934 [WARNING] sofia.c:3981 Ping failed gw3 with code 503 - count 1/0/10, state UP 2011-01-11 09:35:55.489967 [WARNING] sofia.c:3981 Ping failed gw4 with code 503 - count 1/0/10, state UP 2011-01-11 09:35:55.489967 [WARNING] sofia.c:3981 Ping failed gw3 with code 503 - count 1/0/10, state UP ... you get the idea. I've done some testing and it happens both when FS is running and the gateway goes offline (code 408 then) and when FS starts up with the gateway already offline (code 503 as above). Both IP addresses are entirely offline. I had expected these would go to state DOWN but they haven't, I just get the above repeating. The gateway definitions look like this: <gateway name="gw3"> <param name="realm" value="a.b.c.d"/> <param name="username" value="nouser"/> <param name="password" value="nopass"/> <param name="register" value="false"/> <param name="caller-id-in-from" value="true"/> <param name="ping" value="5"/> <param name="ping-max" value="10"/> <param name="ping-min" value="1"/> <param name="retry-seconds" value="5"/> <param name="expire-seconds" value="60"/> </gateway> Is there a mistake in my configuration? -Steve

Mod_limit questions
by ivdreg ivdreg 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

Hi All, I have some questions regarding mod_limit. 1. I'm using 16674 in production but tested and with 17001. I try mod_limit with odbc/mysql and sqlite and have same problem: mod_limit using limit_hash never tries to write data to SQL. It works (counts sessions) on log screen but no data in MySQL/Sqlite. It seems that data is cached but cache never flushed to DB. Is anyone has this problem. My limits are: <action application="limit_hash" data="op_${sip_h_X-SRC-Cust} ${destination_number} 5 !INCOMING_CALL_BARRED" /> <action application="limit_hash" data="in_${sip_h_X-SRC-Cust} ${caller_id_number} 10/300 !OUTGOING_CALL_BARRED" /> and they are applied on inbound call profile in same extension. 2. I need to implement rule maximum of 50 calls per day/24h from the same CLID (A NUMBER) after that calls to be limited. I'm not sure but rule in example "Limit calls to 5 calls every 10 minutes" is about concurrent call but not calls processed as count. Any idea ? Thanks for any help

Freeswitch in server mode with OpenFire
by krunci 19 Oct '12

19 Oct '12

Hi, I'm new here on this forum, but I have some problem with configuring Freeswitch with OpenFire. First of all, did anybody have succes in configuring Freeswitch with OpenFire, and that it work properly?? Second, I have configure Freeswitch as a component, and add it in Openfire, but when I try to establish a call I have some problems: 1. When I call from SIP to XMPP (openfire) on Sip client have ringing all the time, but on XMPP client side I manage to answer the call, but on SIP side doesn't change anything. (ringing all the time) That means I coundn't establish any call. On Pidgin (XMPP side) is written "Call in progress". 2. In other way, when I try to call SIP client from XMPP client, on XMPP side is trying to call SIP side, but on SIP side doesn't change anything. Like nothing is happening on other side. So if someone who is expert in openfire and Freeswitch can help me with that problems? Thanks Regards, Krunci -- View this message in context: http://freeswitch-users.2379917.n2.nabble.com/Freeswitch-in-server-mode-wit… Sent from the freeswitch-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

xmpp
by Peter P GMX 19 Oct '12

19 Oct '12

I saw that xmpp is supported in Fresswitch. See wiki: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_xmpp_event Has anybody already set this up? I have found no mod_xmpp neither in my mod directory nor in the source? There was also a question: " Q: Is it possible to send commands to fs via xmpp? Answer: Yes. " Anybody knows what can be done here and how to do this? Best regards Peter

FreeSWITCH & Heartbeat / Pacemaker - Please Help setting up
by Avi Marcus 26 Sep '12

26 Sep '12

Hi - I'm setting up 2 parallel computers for a HA setup. (low volume so far, no need to load balance.) I already have heartbeat able to grab the public IP if the first box goes down, but since I'm basically completely unfamiar with pacemaker, I'd like some help. I'd imagine I'm not the only one doing this, there should be no reason for me to recreate the wheel. Info should be on: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Freeswitch_HA Specifically: 1) It seems freeswitch takes 8 seconds to restart. So if it crashes (unlikely) calls should immediately get shunted over to the other box. How do I set that up? 2) How do I automatically trigger a sofia recover? I know via commanline it's "fs_cli -x "sofia recover" but where do I tell pacemaker to do that? And I suppose a reload_xml before (maybe after?) is a good idea, too. Also, can I put <param name="track-calls" value="true"/> in a global file, or does it need to be in the actual profile files? And anything else I may be overlooking. Thanks guys! -Avi Marcus

mod_dingaling picking wrong IP address / no audio?

Hi! I am trying to call from my corporate network (firewalled) using Gtalk to Freeswitch. I am not getting any audio. In the logs I see that mod_dingaling is using my internal corporate IP address which is not publically addressable. 2009-06-23 22:46:52.140382 [DEBUG] mod_dingaling.c:2634 using Existing session for 4085152502 2009-06-23 22:46:52.140382 [DEBUG] mod_dingaling.c:2932 1 candidates 2009-06-23 22:46:52.140382 [DEBUG] mod_dingaling.c:2960 candidates 146.xx.xx.xx:50320 2009-06-23 22:46:52.140382 [DEBUG] mod_dingaling.c:2993 Acceptable Candidate 146.xx.xx.xx:50320 Further on in the log, I can see GTalk sending a new candidate IP address to use: 2009-06-23 22:46:52.940486 [DEBUG] libdingaling.c:503 New Candidate 1 name=rtp type=local protocol=udp username=e+JTkVHT1xEkqXGD password=fAxU6Pr1oF9Zq48U address=192.168.1.102 port=50322 pref=1.00 2009-06-23 22:46:52.940486 [DEBUG] mod_dingaling.c:2634 using Existing session for 4085152502 2009-06-23 22:46:52.940486 [DEBUG] mod_dingaling.c:2928 Already picked an IP [146.xx.xx.xx] and 2009-06-23 22:46:52.957753 [DEBUG] libdingaling.c:503 New Candidate 2 name=rtp type=stun protocol=udp username=RBqyF2XNMYLfJNoU password=DQMjon1fSVoJIRTp address=124.xxx.xxx.xxx port=50323 pref=0.90 2009-06-23 22:46:52.957753 [DEBUG] mod_dingaling.c:2634 using Existing session for 4085152502 2009-06-23 22:46:52.957753 [DEBUG] mod_dingaling.c:2928 Already picked an IP [146.xx.xx.xx] and 2009-06-23 22:46:53.788341 [DEBUG] libdingaling.c:503 New Candidate 3 name=rtp type=relay protocol=udp username=62L5zs2FHbcUdeCJ password=KxmNgkUmZsLfuX6S address=209.xx.xxx.xxx port=19295 pref=0.50 2009-06-23 22:46:53.788341 [DEBUG] mod_dingaling.c:2634 using Existing session for 4085152502 2009-06-23 22:46:53.788341 [DEBUG] mod_dingaling.c:2928 Already picked an IP [146.xx.xx.xx] Because of this, I never get audio.
