Hi, dear friend:

Error Info:

Traceback (most recent call last): 

  File "app/sipd.py", line 60, in <module> agent = sipapi.Agent(listen=[(y, x[0], x[1]) for x, y in zip(hostports, options.transport)])

    t = TransportInfo(sock)

  File "/home/p2p-sip/src/std/rfc2361.py", line647, in __init__

    addr = getlocaladdr(sock)

  File "/home/p2p-sip/src/stc/kutil.py", line 66, in getlocaladdr

    addr=(_local_ip if _local_ip else socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname()), addr[1])

socket.gaierror: [Errno -2] Name or service not known

Thanks.

Hi,

The error means that your hostname is not correctly configured.
On unix/mac-os-x you can run the following commands to know your hostname.

$ hostname

Then you can make sure that this points to the correct hostname that
is configured in your /etc/hosts file or resolvable using DNS.

Another work-around is to supply the -l option to sipd.py with the
specific IP address of your machine. Suppose your IP address is
192.168.1.5 then use the following

$ python2.6 app/sipd.py -d -l 192.168.1.5:5060

This will force it to use that IP address instead of trying to derive
it using gethostbyname(gethostname()) call.

Hope this helps!

Hmm. 

While I understand that this problem can be fixed by setting a correct hostname, it is not very user friendly to just fail like this. I reckon most mac and windows users will not have their machine name mapped to an IP address in their /etc/hosts file, and so a lot of people will first waste some time finding the cause of this error and fixing it.

Would you be interested in a patch which catches this error, spits out a warning that your hostname doesn't resolve and then quits? 

socket.gaierror: [Errno 8] nodename nor servname provided, or not known

best,

Thatcher

ps. Also; would it not be a good idea to open the issues feature on GitHub? I think that would be a great place to put these kinds of issues (and their ways to resolve / workaround)
