yate won't start

[Lawquest]

I am using yate 4.3.0-i586-3vl70.  After updating firefox, I now get the following error ("..." means that lines have been omitted):

Yate (9184) is starting Mon Dec 30 10:09:58 2013
...
<RManager:GOON> Failed to bind to 127.0.0.1:5038 : Address already in use
...
<mgcp_gw:WARN> Failed to bind socket to :2427. Error: 98: Address already in use
Initializing module SNMP Agent
<WARN> Failed to save config file '/etc/yate/snmp_data.conf' (13: Permission denied)
<snmpagent:WARN> Could not bind SNMP UDP Listener, error 13 Permission denied
...
Initialization complete
Yate engine is initialized and starting up on vector.linux.net
^CYate engine is shutting down with code 0
<WARN> Failed to save config file '/etc/yate/snmp_data.conf' (13: Permission denied)

Suggestions?  I am reading the instructions but first couple of things I tried didn't help.

Hi,

Check if you have another yate instance running (command: pidof yate).

Check listening ports with netstat:
netstat -l
If you have root access you can see the processes also:
netstat -lp

Try telnet 127.0.0.1 5038. See if it succeeds

[Lawquest]

Thanks marian!

I have been fooling around a lot lately with yate, trying to get it to work without success.  I now get a different error, as follows:

<snmpagent:WARN> Could not bind SNMP UDP Listener, error 13 Permission denied

Now the results of my following your kind suggestions:

Before attempting to start yate at the terminal:

     pidof yate shows nothing.

    netstat -l shows a lot of stuff, but does not show yate anywhere, nor does netstat -lp as root.  Netstat -l did show yate at the time I originally posted (when yate showed the port 2427 error). 

   I do not know how to try " telnet 127.0.0.1 5038"

I would be happy to post the results of netstat -l and netstat-lp if you think that might help.

The error indicates you don't have permission to open the SNMP port (default: 161).

If you need SNMP you should run yate as root or use a different port (greater then 1000).

[Lawquest]

Thanks Marian,

I don't get the error when running yate as root, but yate gui still doesn't come up.  Here is netstat -l after running yate as root.  I note something on port 2427 and I think that is the problem but I am not familiar with this "port" business:

Hi,

You should state your issue from start.
If you want to use yate client the application to start is yate-qt4, not yate (the command 'yate' starts the server).

[Lawquest]

thanks. that gives a segmentation fault

Can you post a log?

The -lt command line options created the log file named yate.log.
Can we see it?

[Lawquest]

here it is.  Or I probably should say, here I hope it is.

[marian]

This is a log of yate server not yate-qt4.

[Lawquest]

I can't create the requested log file:

Try to create file in a known location, like /home/myuser/yate-qt4.log:

Command:
yate-qt4 -vvvvv -tl /home/myuser/yate-qt4.log

Still get segmentation fault
