Error: Could not detect FreeSWITCH listening on port 5060

[Muhammad Umair]

I have installed BBB server and I am now building the client

I have run ant -locales 

and ant

its worked fine.

Now I use command bbb-conf --clean it is giving out error 

    Error: Could not detect FreeSWITCH listening on port 5060

bbb-conf --check command also giving out the error

    Error :The voice application failed to register with the sip server.

             Try running:

            sudo bbb-conf --clean

also it is giving the same error as --clean gave

[Fred Dixon]

Hi Muhammad,

If you back out the changes you've made to the client and restart BigBlueButton, does the audio work correctly?

This will help you confirm whether FreeSWITCH is working correctly.

Regards,.. Fred

Dear Sir,

I have switch back back to nginx.client 

But error remain the same

[Muhammad Umair]

After switching back I am also getting

Warning : The setting of (192.168.1.11) for bbb.sip.ip in 

   /usr/share/red5/webapps/sip/WEB-INF/bigbluebutton-sip.properties

does not match the local IP address (192.168.1.10)

[Fred Dixon]

Hi Muhammad,

Did the WebRTC audio work before on your server (after you installed but before you made any custom changes)?

When I installed the server and test with demo API it worked fine but when I linked it to client_dev  it gave an error

[Fred Dixon]

Hi Muhammad,

The error 

    Error: Could not detect FreeSWITCH listening on port 5060

means there isn't anything listening on port 5060.  Did you make any other changes besides the client?  Did you make changes to FreeSWITCH?

We recommend starting FreeSWITCH on the command line and see if it gives you an error.

Also I have manually checked 

 $ cat/usr/share/red5/webapps/sip/WEB-INF/bigbluebutton-sip.properties

freeswitch.ip=192.168.1.11

while my bbb server is on 192.168.1.10

[Fred Dixon]

Hi Muhammad,

> freeswitch.ip=192.168.1.11

> while my bbb server is on 192.168.1.10

As you may expect, those values need to match; otherwise red5 will attempt to connect to 192.168.1.11.

Dear Sir,

I have now no error while I run the command bbb-conf --clean and bbb-conf --check 

it says"  The  API demos are installed and accessible through :

           http://192.168.1.11/

But when I run the URL in browser it is not working

[Fred Dixon]

Hi Muhammad,

> freeswitch.ip=192.168.1.11

> while my bbb server is on 192.168.1.10

According to the above, BigBlueButton is configured to use the wrong IP address.  You need to configure it to use the IP address of the host; otherwise, it wont' work.  See

 sudo bbb-conf --setip 192.168.1.10

 sudo bbb-conf --enablewebrtc

 sudo bbb-conf --clean

 sudo bbb-conf --check

See

  http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/1.0/10install.html#bigbluebutton-does-not-load

Dear Sir, 

Now I have set the IP address and now it is on the same IP address

I then use 

bbb-conf --clean

bbb-conf --check

everything works fine but when I am trying to get demo API using URL in the browser its not working

[Fred Dixon]

Hi Muhammad,

> everything works fine but when I am trying to get demo API using URL in the browser its not working

Can you be more specific -- are you getting a 404 not found error, are you getting an error when loading, are you getting an error after loading, etc...?

hi all,

i ran into the same problem today. everithing worked fine, until i change the server ip. after this action i receive the marvelous "error could not detect freeswitch listening on port 5060" error when i ran "sudo bbb-conf --check"  command.

only the command: "sudo bbb-conf --setip 192.168.1.10" isn't enough to fix this problem.
you need to change ip in at least other 2 locations:

• in freeswitch config file at: /opt/freeswitch/conf/vars.xml
• in sip.properties at: /usr/share/red5/webapps/sip/WEB-INF/bigbluebutton-sip.properties
  

also check the config.xml file (/var/www/bigbluebutton/client/conf/config.xml) to see if there are some reminescence of old ip.

kind regards,
Andrei B.

[Andrei B.]

i forgot to add that when you're done with all the editing, reboot the server and after reboot run "sudo bbb-conf --clean" command.

kind regards,
Andrei B.

Yes Sir I have installed API demos.

And i think it shows, you can access API demo at 192.168.1.10 only when API demos installed

[Fred Dixon]

Hi Muhammad,

Hmm .. can you restate your problem.  Earlier you said, 

> > everything works fine but when I am trying to get demo API using URL in the browser its not working

Are you able to login to the API demos when you access

  http://192.168.1.10/

or a specific demo, such as 

  http://192.168.1.10/demo/demo2.jsp

[Fred Dixon]

Hi Muhammad,

OK, there isn't currently a web server listening on port 80 at 192.168.1.10.  Check the output from

  sudo bbb-conf --check

and make sure you don't see any message related to nginx not running.  If you do, try looking at the nginx log files to see why it's not successfully starting and listening to port 80.

Regards,.. Fred

/etc/sites-available/bigbluebutton (nginx)

server name :192.168.1.10

             port:80

 bbb-client dir : /var/www/bigbluebutton

but when I try bbb-conf --clean 

it gives no error except a log say

 *nginx is not working

but I tried  

 $ sudo service nginx restart

I checked 

sudo nginx -t

it says status OK and 

successfull

[Fred Dixon]

Hi Muhammad,

> it gives no error except a log say

Yes, that would be the cause of your error :-).

>  $ sudo service nginx restart

> it wont help 

Check the nginx log files for error messages -- it will give you details on why nginx was not able to complete its startup.

[Fred Dixon]

Hi Muhammad,

> Apache2 cannot start

You should not be running Apache2 (or any other application) that binds to port 80 on your BigBlueButton server.  For reasons why, see

  http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/support/faq.html#we-recommend-running-bigbluebutton-on-port-80

[Muhammad Umair]

Dear Sir I have uninstalled the apache2 now again by running the command 

      sudo bbb-conf --clean

[Fred Dixon]

Hi Muhammad,

> *nginx is not running 

Give yourself a chance to investigate this first before posting.  Have you searched the forums for 

  nginx is not running

Google is your friend.  Try Googling for

  nginx does not start

Take a look at the search results from the above (they will give you steps on how to look at nginx log files for startup errors).

If, after going through the startup logs it's still not clear, post enough information that someone can look at the same information (and a description of what changes you made).

I was also getting this error => Error: Could not detect FreeSWITCH listening on port 5060.

I did following and it got fixed. By the way I'm on BBB 2.0

File:  /opt/freeswitch/conf/sip_profiles/external.xml

Changed value,

<param name="wss-binding"  value="A.B.C.D:7443"/>

To,

<param name="wss-binding"  value=":7443"/>

A.B.C.D was my VPS ip. I removed it, restarted BBB with bbb-conf --restart and the error disappeared.

If this helps anyone.

Take Care.
