Hi Alex,

I have just download latest master version of kamailio, created a minimal kam.cfg file for ndb_redis module, and launch kamailio without any redis server available.

kam.cfg file:

#!KAMAILIO

debug=4 log_stderror=yes children=4 fork=yes #disable_tcp=yes

mpath="modules/"

loadmodule "ndb_redis.so"

# An already configured redis server is needed here modparam("ndb_redis", "server", "name=srv1;addr=127.0.0.1;port=6379;db=0")

request_route { exit; }

$ ./kamailio -f kam.cfg

And I cannot reproduce the error.

It fails as it should with "Connection refused"

Could you give me more information?

Thanks, Vicente.

PS. The same effect can be achieved by binding a TCP service other than Redis to the port Kamailio expects Redis to be on (e.g. 6379).

If I kill my Redis server and boot Kamailio with an ndb_redis configuration to connect to Redis via TCP, I get an infinite loop of:
