Can't make hello world to work

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Hello all. I’m sure it’s something pretty simple, most likely related to my network config.
I’m testing SIP client on Mac (Zoiper). Asterisk runs inside VM on a same box. I can ping it’s IP

I installed fresh Asterisk/DAHDI/PJSIP on CentOS7 using all the instructions I can find an a book.
Looks like all the modules loading ok, I have very simple config and follow instructions from here:
wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Hello+World

However, when I enter credentials (6001 and password 123456) into Zoiper it wouldn’t Register.
Worst thing is - I have NO idea where to go about tracing whats going in. Zoiper says registration times out. There is no firewall activated on Mac.

Any pointers? I’ve been through this install 5 times and feel confident that I got it all right…

P.S. I understand you may need more details, let me know what I need to provide. I have only few configs in etc/asterisk - they are basic ones just like in link above.

[quote]Zoiper says registration times out[/quote] First lest make sure the asterisk service is running on the default ports.

netstat -apn | grep -i asterisk

then post your zoiper configuration

Here is output on Asterisk side (I’m connecting from host via ssh and it shows)

I’ve been trying on and off an no luck so far.
So, it looks like Asterisk is running and should be responding on port 5060.

I run from bash and it seems like it connects properly to my VM

nc -uv 192.168.31.128 5060
found 0 associations
found 1 connections:
     1:	flags=82<CONNECTED,PREFERRED>
	outif (null)
	src 192.168.31.1 port 52043
	dst 192.168.31.128 port 5060
	rank info not available

[b]Connection to 192.168.31.128 port 5060 [udp/sip] succeeded![/b]

When I try the same from Zoiper it just times out :frowning:

Just for kicks I installed FreePBX distro in another VM. And yes, I can connect to it after adding extension 6001 via admin interface. When I run same netstat command in addition to 2 UDP ports it’s listening to couple of TCP ports, but it’s not needed for SIP to work, I assume those for UI, etc.

So, what might be wrong? Currently I have all modules running from what I can tell and here is configs for files I have in /etc/asterisk: (only 4 files)

asterisk.conf

[code]directories
astetcdir => /etc/asterisk
astmoddir => /usr/lib64/asterisk/modules

[6001]

As you see - it’s all very basic stuff, I’m learning from ground up and just stumbled why it is not connecting. I’m developer(also on PC), I understand basics and from my point of view if config was bad - phone would give me 403, 401, etc. But not timing out? I can ping this VM machine and check port as you see above…

I also enabled verbose logging to see if anything there. Tried to connect - nothing in a log. Restarted asterisk service - this is all I see:

Jeez… I got it figured out. Still don’t get it, but anyway…

I took BASE Centos7 distribution. Didn’t even have that in mind, but this thing has firewall installed!!! Firewalld in particular. And it wasn’t mentioned in any tutorials or manuals I’ve read.

And. Machine pings. And. nc(netcat) didn’t encounter problems…

Now I need to figure out how to configure firewall to make it right. I shortly disabled firewall and heard beautiful voice saying “hello world” to me :smile:
