Hi, from your debugging: Apr 8 11:53:41 sipserver2 sems: (7785) DEBUG: loadAppPlugIn (AmPlugIn.cpp:262): application 'number_reader' loaded. Apr 8 11:53:41 sipserver2 sems: (7785) WARNING: reloadModuleConfig (SemsConfiguration.cpp:66): no configuration found for module number_reader, maybe you want to specify config.number_reader in config file. Apr 8 11:53:41 sipserver2 sems: (7785) ERROR: onLoad (NumberReader.cpp:55): required parameter number_path missing Apr 8 11:53:41 sipserver2 sems: (7785) ERROR: load (AmPlugIn.cpp:85): while loading plug-in '/usr/local/lib/sems/plug-in/apps/number_reader.so' This says that number reader refuses to start and therefor SEMS refuses to start at all. You have two options now: 1. configure number_reader to start by supplying valid entries in the following new section of your sems.conf (edit wav to your valid path!): config.number_reader=inline number_path=wav prolog_file=wav/prolog.wav epilog_file=wav/prolog.wav config.number_reader=end 2. remove '/usr/local/lib/sems/plug-in/apps/number_reader.so', then sems should start. Be careful, if you do a "make install" again, the module will be regenerated, you might have to delete it again. I call this a bug in SEMS, we will fix it someday. Modules should start without any configuration entries. By now, please use one of the options above. This shows, that no SEMS is running, from all processes containing "sems" in their command line, it's only your editor and the grep command itself. Please always view the output of SEMS startup and review all lines starting with ERROR. Regards, Uli.
