1. I've installed latest SWIG (2.0.0)

2. Rebuild SWIG generated files in libs/esl/python directory:
make reswig

3. Then in libs/esl/ directory:
make clean; make pymod

After that wikipbx was able to call ESL functions properly.

logger.info("creating eslconnection %s %s %s" % (socket.listen_ip, str(socket.listen_port),socket.password))
con = ESL.ESLconnection("localhost","8021","ClueCon")
if con.connected:
logger.info("connected")
else:
logger.info("NOT connected")
yield con

Today after booting computer and starting wikipbx I was able to load several pages where get_fs_connections() being used (Endpoints Manage, Gateways Managed).
Apache logs looks like this:

[Mon Jun 14 05:56:27 2010] [error] get_fs_connections()
[Mon Jun 14 05:56:27 2010] [error] 1 eventsockets
[Mon Jun 14 05:56:27 2010] [error] creating eslconnection 127.0.0.1 8021 ClueCon
[Mon Jun 14 05:56:27 2010] [error] connected
[Mon Jun 14 05:56:27 2010] [error] get_fs_connections() done

After few clicks in wikipbx interface get_fs_connections() stops working and in apache logs I have:

[Mon Jun 14 05:56:33 2010] [error] get_fs_connections()
[Mon Jun 14 05:56:33 2010] [error] 1 eventsockets
[Mon Jun 14 05:56:33 2010] [error] creating eslconnection 127.0.0.1 8021 ClueCon

Now every click on "Calls Live", "Gateways Manage", "Endpoints Manage" just hangs, without producing any output or error logs.

After that I've tried FreeSwitch ESL sample scripts freeswitch-1.0.6/libs/esl/python/events.py and its working fine everytime I'm starting it.
It has the same kind of code:

con = ESLconnection("localhost","8021","ClueCon")
#are we connected?
if con.connected:
print "connected"
con.events("plain", "all");
….

FS 1.0.6.

This problems happens with any page that is calling get_fs_connections(). E.g. (live calls, manage account, manage gateways…)
ESL.ESLconnection(…) from fsutil.py doesn't connect. The code stuck on this function and doesn't go any further.

I wasn't able to solve this issue so far.

To answer your questions … yes, the points where the GUI hung were all that you mentioned, so they were all points where wikipbx is querying freeswitch. The problem links were 'manage endpoints' 'manage gateways' and 'live calls'. The dialplan link worked like you said, as did all the ones I didn't just mention. So apparently it was a fallout between ESL and freeswitch.

Great to have it working. Thanks for your help!

• Show endpoints (queries freeswitch for registration status)
• Live calls

Maybe a few others I am forgetting about right now. But for example on the extensions page, it does not need to talk to freeswitch, all that just comes straight out of the db.

So was it just those two pages or was it a site-wide issue?

Well regardless, glad to hear you got it working .. and thanks for the kind words!

Thanks…
Steve

Can you have a look at the access log file and see which status do the hanging pages return?

Try changing DEBUG value in your settings.py file to True or False, see if it makes any difference. You'll need to restart apache for the new value to have effect.

If it won't help, here's a patch that would show some info about ESL connection:

 Index: wikipbx/wikipbxweb/views.py =================================================================== --- wikipbx/wikipbxweb/views.py (revision 276) +++ wikipbx/wikipbxweb/views.py (working copy) @@ -851,16 +851,20 @@ for connection in fsutil.get_fs_connections(): try: for endpoint in endpoints: + logger.info("Endpoint: %s" % endpoint) # we have to check each profile, since in theory # and endpoint can be regd to any defined profile regd_on_any_profile = False for sipprofile in SipProfile.objects.all(): cmd = ("api sofia status profile %s user %s@%s" % (sipprofile.name, endpoint.userid, account.domain)) + logger.info("Sending command: %s" % cmd) results = connection.sendRecv(cmd) + logger.info("Result: %s" % results) if not results: raise Exception("Could not connect to FreeSWITCH") data = results.getBody().splitlines() + logger.info("Results data: %s" % str(data)) for line in data: if line.startswith("Contact:"): # found "Contact:", that means this endpoint is reg'd 

Make a backup copy of your wikipbx/wikipbxweb/views.py file, cd to wikipbx root directory, apply the patch with "patch -p0 < /path/to/patch/file" and restart apache. You should see some extra info in apache error log after following Endpoints > Manage link. Post it here, replacing any confidential info with *'s and restore you views.py file from the backup.

That would shed some light in case if it's ESL library problem.

So it must be something with ESL? The freeswitch libs/esl was compiled as the installation manual described.

It looks like some kind of problem with ESL library or with event socket connection to freeswitch. Can you connect with telnet to the same host IP and port you've specified in event socket config settings?

Other than that, I ram really excited about wikipbx and how powerful it is … I've tried Fusionpbx and freepbx-v3 but wasn't nearly as impressed as I am with Wikipbx.

Thanks,
Steve
