Hello,

the init.d script is doing a check for errors in kamailio.cfg with 'kamailio -c', but the config file is not passed there as parameter -f.

You have to look for:

check_kamailio_config ()
{
  # Check if kamailio configuration is valid before starting the server.
  set +e
  out=$($DAEMON -M $PKG_MEMORY -c 2>&1 > /dev/null)

and change last line to:

  out=$($DAEMON -M $PKG_MEMORY -f $CFGFILE -c 2>&1 > /dev/null)

Cheers,
Daniel

Hello,

what operating system are you using? How do you start/stop kamailio?

Also, provide the logs here with the errors.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hello,

 

I compiled and installed Kamailio 4.0.3 like usual on a new test machine, but changed the CFGFILE variable in /etc/init.d/kamailio to /usr/local/etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg. Kamailio started normally.

 

When I reset CFGFILE to CFGFILE=/etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg and start Kamailio again, I’m getting an error saying it can’t find the file at /usr/local/etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg.

I renamed the config file at /usr/local/etc/kamailio/ to make sure it’s not using that one, but it still is.

 

Why is the change not being accepted?

 

Regards,

 

Grant
