Newbie's installation: Can't start FS at boot
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

SwitchPi - FreeSWITCH Meets the Raspberry Pi with some small Open Hardware Addons
by Ken Rice 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

Hey Guys, May of you know I have been working to get FreeSWITCH crammed on to the RaspberryPi. And a few of you have noticed where I have been blogging about it at http://www.switchpi.org/ well its come time to ask for a little help... If you have an EE background and have recently sent boards sent off to a short run proto fab and want to assist in a little refinement of the PCB, I think its time to start heading down that road. Please contact me off list with how you can help. Where am I currently? A) FreeSWITCH Building cleaning on Raspbian (I¹ll be making an image with FS precompiled and installed shortly), B) breadboard hardware working with Python and limited C sources. Eagle Files and Source code is on Github (Linked off the blog for easy reference) K -- Ken http://www.FreeSWITCH.org http://www.ClueCon.com http://www.OSTAG.org http://www.switchpi.org irc.freenode.net #freeswitch

Hi. A new version of the MPL license just came out ( http://www.opensource.org/licenses/MPL-2.0 ). Is the new version better than the last one? I'm trying to find the differences but this kind of text is to hard for me :) Any plans for changing FreeSWITCH license to the new one ? Zsolt

Unloop extension
by Ержан Туле пов 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

What unloop extension is used for? BTW: vars.xml pre-(process)-sets unroll_loops, whereas DPs (public and default) are using channel variable syntax? Is this ok? Y.

Re: [Freeswitch-users] problems with freeswitch + zrtp in proxy-media mode
by Eli Burke 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Yes, inbound-zrtp-passthru is true. I think it gets set automatically when you turn on ZRTP. The config I'm testing with is a stock 'enable_zrtp=yes' build of HEAD circa last week, with proxy-media=true added to Local_Extension in the default dial plan. -Eli On Feb 1, 2013, at 6:00 AM, royj(a)yandex.ru wrote: > Is there <param name="inbound-zrtp-passthru" value="true"/> in profile > > On Thu, 31 Jan 2013 17:43:34 -0500 > Eli Burke <eburke(a)edge-net.net> wrote: > >> I'm trying to use Freeswitch with an open source voip client called Linphone, but cannot manage to establish functioning ZRTP sessions. The problem *seems* to be related to the RTP stream's SSRC.

If so, how is it that some clients are able to handle this situation?

zrtp passthrough
by Kosztolányi Péter 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

I need to set up a passthrough zrtp in freeswitch. I followed this wiki: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/ZRTP and setup two Jitsi softphones. MiTM: works well but with different SAS in the softphones. It is ok because of a missing zrtp enrollment process. Passthrough: no SAS at all and Jitsi says the media is not encrypted I tried to achieve passthrough by uncommenting sip_profiles/internal.xml: <param name="inbound-proxy-media" value="true"/> What is the proper way to set up passthrough zrtp and having an end-to-end zrtp session with the same SAS on both softphones? Thank you, Peter

FAX problems
by Steven Schoch 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

Thank you guys, I just sorted out the multiple sofia profiles and have FS accepting SIP registrations on our LAN. I plugged a phone into the LAN and it works. Now I'm trying to get this VoIP Plug-In for Microsoft Fax to work, that I downloaded from www.faxback.com. I configured it with a directory number I created, the dialplan seems to work, but it fails when sending the test FAX. The FAX number I'm calling is a POTS line connected to a Fax modem, which is answered by Hylafax. This works and is used everyday. The faxback software is installed on a Windows 7 machine, and configured by putting in a proxy address of 192.168.1.17, a username and password, and address of user@domain. The test call rings the fax modem, it answers, but then after some handshaking, it hangs up and the window says the call was hung up. Hylafax says: "No answer (T.30 T1 timeout)" -- Steve
