If the only issue is RealTime MySQL, how do I disable it? If not, where do I look for the problem?

That’s it. No ERROR’s. only those WARNING’s or NOTICE. Nothing in syslog. How do I debug this?

turn on debug logging (edit logger.conf), and restart Asterisk. are you sure you don’t already have an instance of Asterisk running, or another app that’s binding to 5060 ?

Since I’m using ekiga, I’d set the bindport to 5061 in sip.conf without changing the default 5060 (:

Fixed that:

grep 506 sip.conf
;bindport=5060 ; UDP Port to bind to (SIP standard port is 5060)
bindport = 5061

but asterisk still wants to bind to 5060:

Here’s a snip from sip.conf:

realm = asterisk
bindport = 5061

[test]
type=friend
username=test
secret=password
qualify=yes
nat=no
host=mediaserver ; localhost
canreinvite=no
context=internal

And no other instance of asterisk is running.

Any help appreciated.
