i started sr on amd64 architecture and it didn't start with exactly same configuration file that works ok on i386 architecture. syslog got these error messages: Not starting sip-proxy: invalid configuration file! 0(11601) : <core> [cfg.y:3591]: parse error in config file /etc/sip-proxy/sip-proxy.cfg, line 4918, column 18-22: internal error: failed to create rval expr 0(11601) : <core> [cfg.y:3591]: parse error in config file /etc/sip-proxy/sip-proxy.cfg, line 4918, column 18-22: '('')' expected (function call) 0(11601) : <core> [cfg.y:3591]: parse error in config file /etc/sip-proxy/sip-proxy.cfg, line 4918, column 18-22: internal error: failed to create rval expr 0(11601) : <core> [cfg.y:3594]: parse error in config file /etc/sip-proxy/sip-proxy.cfg, line 4918, column 28: bad expression 0(11601) : <core> [cfg.y:3594]: parse error in config file /etc/sip-proxy/sip-proxy.cfg, line 4918, column 28: invalid route statement 0(11601) : <core> [cfg.y:3594]: parse error in config file /etc/sip-proxy/sip-proxy.cfg, line 4918, column 31: ERROR: bad config file (6 errors) sr started fine then i increased the amount of pkg memory, i.e., there was no syntax error in the config. this is pretty confusing for new users. it would good if the real reason for the failure would be reported. -- juha
