    I have had FOP2 working with my Trixbox for a while now and about a week ago we find that the service will stop and not work at all. After reboot it works for a little while then it stops again.

    Can any one shade some light on this please

      What fop2 version are you running?

      /usr/local/fop2/fop2_server -v

      If you want to see if fop2 is crashing or similar, you must run it in debug mode, one way is to use gnu screen and output to screen, or use the -l command line option to output debug.

      With screen:

      service fop2 stop
      cd /usr/local/fop2
      screen
      ./fop2_server -X 511
      ctrl-a d

      That will run fop2 inside a screen session with full debug output, when you notice fop2 is not running anymore, you attach to that screen with the command

      screen -r

      You will see the last log lines and probable error there.

      It is also helpful to know if you configured buttons manually or via autoconfiguration, as a misconfiguration can lead to unexpected crashes under certain situations.

      And last, use always the latest version, if you are using any previous version than 2.26, then upgrade.

      Best regards,

          You cannot start it because it is already running or you have another application binding to port 4445, but that happens just after starting, it is not a crash after working for some time.

          Do you have fop1 running? Stop it and disable it, or change its listenting port so fop2 can bind to 4445.

          netstat -lnp | grep 444

          If you see 4445 taken by perl, then it is fop1, stop it:

          /usr/sbin/amportal stop_fop

          disable it editing /etc/amportal.conf and set FOPRUN=false

          or better yet, if you have a recent FreePBX, uninstall the FOP Framework.

              If you upgraded FreePBX or some of its modules FOP1 will be back to the default port unless you disable it, or change its port back. I recommend to disable it to avoid having issues if you upgrade or install some new freepbx version again.

              You might want to upgrade to the latest fop2 version as it works with the latest browsers using websockets, and it also has some new features, but you can continue using your version if you are happy with it.

                  You have to stop FOP1, NOT FOP2.

                  /usr/sbin/amportal stop_fop

                  edit /etc/amportal.conf and set

                  FOPRUN=false

                  Then start fop2

                  service fop2 start

                  And if you can , uninstall the fop framework from freepbx using the module manager to avoid issues on your next freepbx upgrade.

                      contact me via the live help, you are not following the instructions correctly. The problem is REALLY simple, you have to stop whatever you have listening in port 4445, after that fop2 will work.

                      I am on the live help, this post is of no use because I already told you what to do , and it seems you are missing a command at some point.

                        AS i said the service works fine for a while then we no longer can login to FOP2. When we try to restart the service it tell sme that the port is already in use when i try to stop the service it won't stop. I did try you on chat but you were off line before will try you tomorow

                          If you say the service stops, I understand is because fop2_server is not running. So if you cannot login, check if its running with the command

                          pgrep fop2

                          If that command returns empty, then it is in fact not running. But if it is not running, you should not get the "Cannot listen to port 4445"

                          If the service is stopped, then do what I typed in the 1st reply EXACTLY to start fop2 and capturing output, so you can catch the error.

                          Again, I am on the live help if you still cannot follow the directions I wrote.

                          Best regards,

                            To avoid other people hijacking this post, and give a response to the "NO REASON" of the subject.

                            The REASON was that this user configuration involved multiple server monitoring (something he never stated in the post), and a firewall was set by him to prevent connections to the AMI port from the fop2 server to that 2nd server he had configured in fop2.cfg

                            So the NO REASON was actually someone that changed firewall rules and breaking his setup.

                            Doing exactly the commands I stated on the FIRST reply on this post via live help, the error popped out really clearly and was easily fixed then.
