fsockopen(): unable to connect to 127.0.0.1:8021

[Edson]

Dear,

I just installed fusionpbx in a server cloud. Everything seems to be ok but in dashboard there is a warning message: Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to 127.0.0.1:8021 (Connection refused) in /var/www/fusionpbx/resources/classes/event_socket.php on line 111

What can be happening? Can you help me, please!?

Regards,

Edson

Check the event socket config in /etc/freeswitch/autoload_configs/event_socket.conf.xml

It should look like this:

<configuration name="event_socket.conf" description="Socket Client">
  <settings>
    <param name="nat-map" value="false"/>
    <param name="listen-ip" value="127.0.0.1"/>
    <param name="listen-port" value="8021"/>
    <param name="password" value="ClueCon"/>
    <!--<param name="apply-inbound-acl" value="lan"/>-->
  </settings>
</configuration>

Other than that, is freeswitch even running??

ps aux | grep freeswitch

Dear,

Thanks so much.

I checked the file and it seems to be ok.

<configuration name="event_socket.conf" description="Socket Client">
<settings>
<param name="nat-map" value="false"/>
<param name="listen-ip" value="127.0.0.1"/>
<param name="listen-port" value="8021"/>
<param name="password" value="ClueCon"/>
<!--<param name="apply-inbound-acl" value="lan"/>-->
</settings>
</configuration>

Freeswith is running:

[root@mtjq6tzkr9 ~]# ps aux | grep freeswitch
freeswi+ 667 0.7 3.4 1303304 34948 ? S<sl Aug28 8:34 /usr/bin/freeswitch -u freeswitch -g daemon -ncwait -nonat

I see a problem straight away, you are not using the standard debian install are you??

A debian install would have freeswitch running as user and group www-data

Hello,

No, i'm using a CentOS 7 minimal installation ISO.

The installation scripts ataht i used:

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fusionpbx/fusionpbx-install.sh/master/centos/pre-install.sh | sh

cd /usr/src/fusionpbx-install.sh/centos && ./install.sh

I have just solved the issue. My server is under NAT, so i changed this line <param name="nat-map" value="false"/> to <param name="nat-map" value="true"/> and now the event service is running and php is able to connect to it:

[root@mtjq7tzkr9 ~]# netstat -atn | grep 8021
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:8021 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
[root@mtjq7tzkr9 ~]#

running

 

[avttd]

to me this method did not help.
I had in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants comment $DAEMON_OPTS

 

[Edson]

Dear avttd,

Sorry, you mean you had to comment this following line on freeswtich.service file to solve this issue?

ExecStart=/usr/bin/freeswitch -u freeswitch -g daemon -ncwait $DAEMON_OPTS

 

[DigitalDaz]

Freeswitch should be running under user www-data and group www-data

I confirm this is an issue. I spun up a brand new CentoOS 7 on digital ocean and followed instructions on installation however I too have the same error I will investigate and figure out why...

 

[Edson]

Yes, it seems to be an issue regarding Centos 7 installation as well.

The best workaround so far to solve this issue is to comment $DAEMON_OPTS command on freeswitch.service start up script. Reboot Server and the check if Event Socket is running properly on port 8021 (netsat -atn)

nano /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/freeswitch.service

ExecStart=/usr/bin/freeswitch -u freeswitch -g daemon -ncwait ; $DAEMON_OPTS
