fop2 server does not seem to start [solved]

nicolas

You have to create a symlink for libcrypto, depending on your installed version. Or you might want to try with fop 2.27 that in most cases will work without a need for symlinking libcrypto libraries.

http://download.fop2.com/fop2-2.27-debian-i386.tgz
http://download.fop2.com/fop2-2.27-debian-x86_64.tgz

The last question in the FAQ tells you how to create a symlink for centos 6, but gentoo will most probably have a different library or location, so you will have to tweak the command to match your environment.

Best regards

Hi Nicolás,

I am making some progress here

I now can start the fop_server successfully - having installed the 2.27 version - and as you said, without needing to create a symlink for libcrypto libraries. netstat -nl now shows listening on port 4445

Unfortunatelly I still cannot login in successfully. Not with my extension, which has enabled its voicemail, and not with a user, defined in fop2.cfg. (I tried also with uncommented button.cfg, and also with deactivated addons on my browser, even stopped iptables service to be sure, it is not a problem with the firewall)

So I decided to execute the shell script autoconfig-users-freepbx.sh manually to see what happens, and got this error:

sh autoconfig-users-freepbx.sh
autoconfig-users-freepbx.sh: line 32: syntax error near unexpected token <' autoconfig-users-freepbx.sh: line 32: done < <( mysql -NB -u $DBUSER -p$DBPASS -h $DBHOST $DBNAME -e "SHOW tables FROM `$DBNAME` LIKE 'fop2users'" )'

repetition of my install steps:

wget file to /usr/src and untarred it
cd to created fop2 directory and executed make install
modified fop2.cfg and set manager_user and manager_secret
created /usr/local/fop2/tmp
executed export PAR_GLOBAL_TMPDIR=/usr/local/fop2/tmp/
cd /usr/local/fop2 and executed ./fop_server --test

-> Flash Operator Panel 2 - License file fop2.lic not found.
Running in Demo Mode
Connection to manager OK!

So I started server as daemon:

./fop2_server -d

Then I tried to login with an existing extension, which has a voicemail account configured, and this did not work, then tried with user 622 and pass 1234 which I uncommented in fop2.cfg but this did not let me login eather.

I get attemting to connect to server 1....2.....3.....4 and so on.

Thanks in advance for your help.

last thing, I tried is:
fop_server -X 3 and there it seems to be able to connect db as it shows:

First you have to fix the error with the autoconfig scripts, not sure if your gentoo has really a bash installation or some other shell with an alias, that ends up giving you that error. It is not hard to fix, as the line that fails is one that tries to determine if you have freepbx and fop2admin installed. As you said you use FreePBX, we can asume you do user freepbx, so you can just remove the line that gives the error, and set instead the variable FOP2PLUGIN=1 just below.

Also, one common mistake is to mix manual configuration with automatic configurations. Once you fix the autoconfig scirpt, be sure you remove all manual user=xxx lines you might have or buttonfile=xxx and leave ONLY the last #exec line.

Finally, to see what user/pass you can use to login, execute the autoconfig-users-freepbx.sh script again and inspect the output.

Elleni

My Gentoo has standard shell: app-shells/bash-4.2_p45 installed:

emerge --search:

app-shells/bash

Size of files: 6,952 kB

And yes, I do have freepbx-2.11.0rc1 installed from tarball. I also come from installing the adminmodule via webinterface, and that worked without problem. There is no manual configuration left, I just had tried to see, if I could login at least with manual config, but I was not able to login with manual configuration eather, and that's what I cannot understand..

As for the error with the script(s): I dont understand which line has to be deleted, and / or if there is a manual way of doing the job that this script tries to do. Following again the errors, when trying to execute the scripts manually:

cd /usr/local/fop2
sh autoconfig-users-freepbx.sh
autoconfig-users-freepbx.sh: line 32: syntax error near unexpected token <' autoconfig-users-freepbx.sh: line 32: done < <( mysql -NB -u $DBUSER -p$DBPASS -h $DBHOST $DBNAME -e "SHOW tables FROM `$DBNAME` LIKE 'fop2users'" )'

and

sh autoconfig-buttons-freepbx.sh
autoconfig-buttons-freepbx.sh: line 38: syntax error near unexpected token <' autoconfig-buttons-freepbx.sh: line 38: done < <( mysql -NB -u $DBUSER -p$DBPASS -h $DBHOST $DBNAME -e "SHOW tables FROM `$DBNAME` LIKE 'fop2users'" )'

Thanks again for trying to help. Its so annoying because I think, I am only one step away of having a look and test your promising software

In FOP2 Admin Module I can see the extensions, which have voicemail enabled and I tried to modify the secret of one user, and then try to login with it, but it does not work :oops:

nicolas

You have to remove line 32, the one that gives you the error, and add a line there FOP2PLUGIN=1 as I said before. Then run the script again and inspect the output.

Elleni

hm, that would be
done < <( mysql -NB -u $DBUSER -p$DBPASS -h $DBHOST $DBNAME -e "SHOW tables FROM `$DBNAME` LIKE 'fop2users'" )
I tried to delete this and replace with FOP2PLUGIN=1 but that gives me:

sh autoconfig-buttons-freepbx.sh
autoconfig-buttons-freepbx.sh: line 38: syntax error near unexpected token <' autoconfig-buttons-freepbx.sh: line 38: done < <( mysql -NB -u $DBUSER -p$DBPASS -h $DBHOST $DBNAME -e "SHOW tables FROM `$DBNAME` LIKE 'fop2users'" )'

but wait a second. I tried the following:

instead of https://sipserver/fop2 I tried with http://sipserver/fop2 and voilà the login was ok

I did not think about it, cause I only use https:// for my freepbx website...

Is it possible to run fop2 page on port 443?

nicolas

It is possible to run on port 443, but if using websockets, if you connect via ssl you must configure tls keys for secure websockets or browses will not be able to connect. Look at the end of fop2.cfg in version 2.27:

;ssl_certificate_file=/etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt
;ssl_certificate_key_file=/etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key

Uncomment those and put the same certificates you have configured in your web server, most probably the name/paths are different in your gentoo installation (above is for default centos install). So, check your httpd.conf file or similar to see where are the certificate files located and replicate that in fop2.cfg

Another option is to disable websockets, fop2 will use flash xmlsockets instead. Edit /var/www/html/fop2/js/presence.js and set disableWebSocket=true, then clear your browser cache and try again

Elleni

Hi and thanks for your quick reply. I will try that out, and play around with the trial version.

Elleni

Hi again, I learned in irc, that - when you run bash as /bin/sh it kicks into a different "mode" internally which does not support the <( command ) syntax

so instead of
sh scriptname.sh

I did
./scriptname, and voilà it worked

nicolas

good to know. thanks for sharing.
