Hello,

you also have to be careful not to have such lines in comments or in the wrong order. Maybe just grep the lines starting with #! and be sure you have proper nesting of if[n]def and endif.

Another thing to check is if you have include/import files and if yes, that their content is correct.

Otherwise, if you have the same config and you start it with the same kamailio parameters, then is rather strange. You have to make a minimal config that exposes the issue and send it over here so we can reproduce and troubleshoot.

Cheers,
Daniel

Daniel,

I have done this, but that’s why I’m confused, because sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t (with no changes to the configs).

I ran a quick grep on the config:

root@inbound-kamailio-test-02:/usr/local/etc/kamailio# grep -i '#!if' kamailio.cfg | wc -l

61

root@inbound-kamailio-test-02:/usr/local/etc/kamailio# grep -i '#!end' kamailio.cfg | wc -l

61

But again, it fails randomly.  If it really was that the #if[n]def’s didn’t match up with the #!endif’s, it would fail consistently?

Hello,

in such cases, check the config file content and be sure you have corresponding "#!endif" for each #!ifdef or #!ifndef.

All,

I have built branch 5.4 from source, and I’m working with the default config.  However, from time to time I get this error when launching kamailio:

root@inbound-kamailio-test-02:~# /usr/local/sbin/kamailio -P /run/kamailio/kamailio.pid -f /usr/local/etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg -m 128 -M 64 -E

 0(1296) ERROR: <core> [core/ppcfg.c:234]: pp_ifdef_level_error(): different number of preprocessor directives: 1 more #!if[n]def as #!endif

However, if I run a “make install” from the source directory, this error goes away.  Has anyone run into this issue before?

Configs attached.

Thanks!
