[SR-Users] kamailio fails to start with kamctl start

[Fabian Borot]

I tested it [stop, start, restart] and it worked

First I commented the line below in the kamctlrc scrip to make sure that it was working because of the change you suggested on the kamctl script and not because my workaround

STARTOPTIONS=" -f /usr/local/kamailio-3.1/etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg"

Then I found these lines and made it like this:

 

        if [ $SYSLOG = 1 ] ; then
                #$OSERBIN -P $PID_FILE $STARTOPTIONS 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null
                $OSERBIN -P $PID_FILE  -f $ETCDIR/kamailio.cfg $STARTOPTIONS 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null
        else
                #$OSERBIN -P $PID_FILE -E $STARTOPTIONS
                $OSERBIN -P $PID_FILE -E  -f $ETCDIR/kamailio.cfg $STARTOPTIONS
        fi
        sleep 3
        if [ ! -s $PID_FILE ] ; then


I stoppped, started and restarted kamailio several times and it works now.

Thank you very much

thank you Henning, I will replace the lines on the kamctl script and report back the results
