Hi, I think the EVAPI listening socket should be bound with setsockopt SO_REUSEADDR. Often, when I restart Kamailio, I cannot immediately get it to stop because the listening descriptor was seemingly not shutdown()'d/close()'d cleanly: Jan 18 13:14:09 sip-xmpp kamailio[24771]: ERROR: evapi [evapi_dispatch.c:474]: evapi_run_dispatcher(): cannot bind to local address and port [0.0.0.0:8010] Jan 18 13:14:09 sip-xmpp kamailio[24771]: ERROR: evapi [evapi_mod.c:181]: child_init(): failed to initialize disptacher process Jan 18 13:14:09 sip-xmpp kamailio[24771]: ERROR: <core> [sr_module.c:923]: init_mod_child(): Error while initializing module evapi (/usr/local/lib64/kamailio/modules/evapi.so) Jan 18 13:14:09 sip-xmpp kamailio[24771]: ERROR: <core> [main.c:1707]: main_loop(): error in init_child Jan 18 13:14:09 sip-xmpp kamailio[24752]: ALERT: <core> [main.c:781]: handle_sigs(): child process 24771 exited normally, status=255 Jan 18 13:14:09 sip-xmpp kamailio[24752]: INFO: <core> [main.c:799]: handle_sigs(): terminating due to SIGCHLD ... but there is nothing listening: [root@peacock kamailio]# telnet localhost 8010 Trying ::1... telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused The SO_REUSEADDR option would solve that problem I think. -- Alex -- Alex Balashov - Principal Evariste Systems LLC 235 E Ponce de Leon Ave Suite 106 Decatur, GA 30030 United States Tel: +1-678-954-0670 Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/, http://www.alexbalashov.com/
