updating plugin, can't restart service fop2

[nicolas]

stop fails... it might be because FOP2 is not started? Did you try that?

service fop2 start

wait a while

service fop2 status

what does it say?

[kelmore]

Everything seems to be running fine, except the Call History plugin which I have found a few posts about but haven't tackled yet. When I want to install a new licensed plugin, I do need to restart the service from the command line in this way to activate it, correct?

netstat -lnp | grep 444

What do you see? If you see "perl" as using the socket, it is the old FOP1 that is taking the port and does not let FOP2 to start. You must disable FOP1 in that case, so FOP2 can run an keep running after it is started.

[kelmore]

Last month I installed a FreePBX distro and then added FOP2, never used FOP1, unless it's bundled with FreePBX.

[root@XX ~]# netstat -lnp | grep 444
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:4445 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1520/fop2_serve
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 10598 1444/gam_server @/tmp/fam-root-

[nicolas]

So, you have fop2 running... then it seems your problem is only with the init script? That is super strange as the init script is used widely on centos based distributions like the FreePBX distro. Are you sure you are not starting FOP2 from any other script/place? How do you start FOP2 normally? Does it start at boot with no issue?

[kelmore]

Yes, starts at boot with no issue, all automatically. I don't believe I made any odd changes to the init script.

[nicolas]

Are you running the service commands as root?

What is the output from:

service fop2 status

?

Here's what I just tried:

[nicolas]

I notice that the process name is missing the last letter (fop2_serve) instead of fop2_server, that might confuse the init script. You can edit /etc/rc.d/init.d/fop2 and replace

killproc fop2_server

with

killproc fop2_serve

[kelmore]

This seemed to do the trick! Thanks!!!!
