Problem solved. My internal and external sip profiles were binding to the wrong sip_ip variables in vars.xml.

Everything is working now.

Yes, I did that.

If I’m correct, then first /freeswitch/conf/freeswitch.xml is loaded, which point to the directory/file where the configuration files are located.

Which is: <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="include" data="carriersbc/freeswitch.xml"/>

The carriersbc/freeswitch.xml looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<document type="freeswitch/xml">

  <!--Load Global FreeSWITCH variables-->

  <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="include" data="vars.xml" />

  <!--Load various configurations-->

  <section name="configuration" description="Various Configuration">

    <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="include" data="autoload_configs/*.xml"/>

  </section>

  <!--Load dialplans for incoming and outgoing traffic-->

  <section name="dialplan" description="Regex/XML Dialplan">

    <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="include" data="dialplan/*.xml"/>

  </section>

</document>

My vars.xml looks like this:

<include>

  <!--Preprocessor Variables-->

  <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="set" data="domain=company.local"/>

  <!--Binding to a private and public IP-->

  <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="set" data="bind_server_ip=auto"/>

  <!--We only need PCMA for now, which is G.711 Alaw-->

  <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="set" data="global_codec_prefs=PCMA"/>

  <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="set" data="outbound_codec_prefs=PCMA"/>

  <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="set" data="local_ip_v4=192.168.1.1"/>

  <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="set" data="public_ip_v4=10.0.0.1"/>

  <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="set" data="outbound_caller_name=anonymous"/>

  <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="set" data="outbound_caller_id=anonymous"/>

  <!--Various debug and defaults-->

  <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="set" data="call_debug=true"/>

  <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="set" data="console_loglevel=debug"/>

  <!-- Internal SIP Profile -->

  <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="set" data="internal_auth_calls=false"/>

  <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="set" data="internal_sip_ip=192.168.1.1"/>

  <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="set" data="internal_rtp_ip=192.168.1.1"/>

  <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="set" data="internal_sip_port=5060"/>

  <!--

  External SIP Profile - Carrier BT

  -->

  <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="set" data="external_auth_calls=false"/>

  <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="set" data="external_sip_ip=10.0.0.1"/>

  <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="set" data="external_rtp_ip=10.0.0.1"/>

  <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="set" data="external_sip_port=5060"/>

</include>

I did load the vanilla/freeswitch.xml and checked the freeswitch.xml.fsxml file. The elements from freeswitch.xml and vars.xml are also not shown in this file, so I’m assuming this is normal behavior?

You need to make sure you include each file/directory you want. Only one file is loaded by default and that specifies which other files to load. If you take a look at the standard config files, you should see what I'm talking about.

Hello,

I’ve started to configure FS from scratch by making my own configuration files, based on the files in the vanilla directory.

I don’t know if this is normal behavior but whenever I start FreeSwitch and check the freeswith.xml.fsxml file, the XML elements in the freeswitch/conf/customsbc/freeswitch.xml and vars.xml are not shown. Only the commentary is shown in this .fsxml file. Is this normal?

Also when running the netstat –unlp command, I see freeswitch isn’t binding to the address defined in the bind_server_ip variable. Is this because the configuration isn’t properly loaded?

Htop shows FS is running.
