[Spce-user] server only works after foring ngcpcfg apply to restart services.

[Matthew Ogden]

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Ok, in the interim, I have gone and downloaded version 2.5 of the VMWare
image.

Its actually taken me a step backwards, because now, even after running
ngcpcfg Apply, i still cant make a call to myself.

Here is the output from pstree
root at spce:~# pstree
init-+-acpid
     |-apache2-+-6*[apache2]
     |         `-3*[sh---logger]

     |-sems---11*[{sems}]
     |-sshd---sshd---bash---pstree
     |-startpar
     `-udevd---2*[udevd]


I have setup everything with a static IP, so I dont think its that, but
its worth mentioning, that doing as per the manual, /etc/init.d/networking
restart
I get the follwoing warning
Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not
enable again some interfaces ... (       warning).
And then I have to manually from the console run ifup eth0


Now on 2.5 I get the following warnings when doing ngcpcfg apply:

Executing action for
/etc/ngcp-config/templates/etc/sems/etc/ngcpcfg.services
Restarting sems: sems
Warning: /etc/ngcp-config/templates/etc/sems/etc/ngcpcfg.services returned
with                           error code, continuing anyway.

with er                          ror code, continuing anyway.

And I can no longer call my own number anymore, whereas I could in 2.4

Can you please provide the output of "pstree" for us to see which services
are running after a reboot? Maybe some service fails to start on reboot.

"ngcpcfg apply" basically just restarts a couple of services (implicitely
by executing "ngcpcfg services") depending on which option you're changing
in the config.yml.

Can you also check the log files kamailio-lb.log, kamailio-proxy.log and
sems.log in /var/log/ngcp/ when you do a call after a reboot, maybe you're
using dhcp and get a different public IP after each reboot, so kamailio-lb
can't bind to the previously configured IP?
