Asterisk and Softphone ( Problem)

Asterisk Asterisk General
1

Hello everybody I installed Asterisk and the ekiga Softphone on my Ubuntu Machine. I configured my Asterisk so:
Sip.conf

[general]
port=5060
bindaddr=0.0.0.0
disallow=all
allow=ulaw

[2000]
type=peer
secret=1234
context=users
host=dynamic

Extensions.conf

[default]
exten => 1001,1,Answer()
exten => 1001,2,Playback(hello-world)
exten => 1001,3,Hangup()

Now I start Asterisk with the command: asterisk -vvvvvc and it runs!

My Ekiga Sip-Phone I Configred so: (my user account)
Name: user
Registrar: 192.168.178.21
Benutzer: 2000
Passwort: ****

Now if i start ekiga with the command: “ekiga -d 1” I Got the following Error:

Did somebody have an Idea what I made wrong or how I could solve this Problem ?

You tried to run two SIP UAS’s (user agent servers) on the same machine without overriding the default SIP port number on at least one of them.

You also asked on a discussion forum, instead of the support forum.

Hello David55,
first thanks for your fast and helpful Reply.
Next Time I will post my Question/Problem in the Support Section!

Could you or somebody please tell me how I could override the default SIP port number ?

You can either change it for Asterisk or for Ekiga. In either case, you need to change both.

For the Asterisk side, look at the port and bindaddr parameters in the sample sip.conf file. I can’t help with the corresponding Ekiga change.

Hello David55,
thanks for your fast and helpful Reply.
I changed my sip.conf so :

[general]
bindport=5060
...
...
...

Maybe you could tell me another Sofphone where I could bind the udp port ? Is there X-Lite for Ubuntu ?, because I searched and there are only Downloads for Windows and Mac!
Or could you tell me another good Softphone ?

bindport=5060 just explicilty sets the default value.

I don’t know how to configure Ekiga. X-Lite, as you say, is for Windows, but I can’t see anyway of changing the port on either side for it. It is possible that that feature is in the paid for version.

On the other hand, Google does know (setting ekiga port). The article I found is one where Ekiga moves its port number, so you you will need to change the peer port, not the bind port, in Asterisk.

I wouldn’t advise running Asterisk on an end user machine and I wouldn’t advise using a softphone for serious applications.
