John,
Good to hear you got it going. It usually is the simple things!

Update: SUCCESS!
Apparently, the error message was generated because the -R was not authorized by Echolink. David had used -L on his IRLP/Echolink node and thought the -R was authorized too. It wasn't. Once authorized, the 'not parsing' error disappeared and he's able to make contacts.
Doug, thanks for the troubleshooting suggestions from both K5FOY and me.

Thanks for the update, Doug. Hadn't considered the ping being turned off.
I've run out of troubleshooting time for today - got to make my way across the state for a medical appointment. Dave isn't on the list yet, so I've forwarded your email to him so he can compare echolink.conf files. I've looked at it so many times that I probably won't see an error anyway <grin>. I did not realize that there could be different passwords for -L and -R. That's the first thing to check. I'm depending on Dave for that information.
We had to wrestle with his router to get it to reserve a certain IP for the Allstar Node. After several node reboots, that seems to be working OK. The router is an Apple Airport Extreme.
BTW, I had the same issue with Echolink not loading until I changed the delay value in /usr/local/etc/allstar.env
It certainly increases what was a speedy boot time, but Echolink seems to load without error now on my node. Oh, and in both cases (K5FOY's node and mine), we have actived the alpha-test version in the 1.02 code using your instructions from RPi2/3 version 1.02 Install Notes.
Thanks for the help!

John,
I forgot they must have ping turned off on their servers which is stupid from a troubleshooting point of view.
So the fact that you are not getting ping returns is not necessarily an indication of a problem.
Assuming you are using the same call and password you used with the IRLP node and it worked there then those should be correct. If you are using -L or -R then those can have different passwords for the same call. CALL-L or CALL-R are uppercase.
Here is a copy of my echolink.conf with password removed. Make sure your echolink node number matches the echolink call from the echolink database. Also their servers are screwy. Some work some do not. You MUST have three defined whether any one works or not.

Doug,
"I am assuming you have the Echolink port forwarding set up?"Yes. Set up, router rebooted, entries deleted then added again and rebooted.
"Did this node ever work on Echolink?" Yes. Dave M. (K5FOY) also has an IRLP/Echolink node. IRLP/Echolink node disabled, ports to IRLP/Echolink disabled and re-entered in the router for Allstar/Echolink. Router restarted.
"Did you test it before you deployed it?"Not really. Dave downloaded the image, I helped him configure it (remotely), we got Allstar working, then started on Echolink. Got stumped when it didn't load, changed the delay and Echolink appears to load but will not parse database.
"If not perhaps your config file is not setup correctly - password etc."Dave has entered and re-entered password and node numbers, but no go.
"Is there any other Echolink running at this site?" No. IRLP/Echolink node shut down (and ports sent to Allstar/Echolink).
"Can you ping reliably the Echolink servers from the site?"
Aha....ping returns the echolink server IP but NOTHING else. None of the hops appear.

If setup correctly Echolink should just work. There is a possibility you have a bad image load but that is not likely.

Doug,
The delayed start suggestion came from an earlier arm-allstar thread I dug up looking for clues and previous suggestions. (The thread starts here:) http://lists.hamvoip.org/pipermail/arm-allstar/2016-June/003279.html
The echolink dbdump command produces no output, so I'm guessing there's no database to read. After running all night, the same errors are popping up on the node this morning. We have rebooted several times just to be sure there wasn't a temporary glitch. I'm across the state from the node we're trying to bring up, but I have remote access (and we've been using TeamViewer to share our desktop for some of the troubleshooting). The Pi3 is on WiFi.

I guess the big question is are you getting the database? Sometimes these errors are short term due to Internet or actual source database problems.
In the client do -
echolink dbdump
or better yet at the Linux prompt -
asterisk -rx "echolink dbdump" > /tmp/echo.txt
Then look through the file and see how it looks -
less /tmp/echo.txt
Also in the client look up a known call or node -
CLI> echolink dbget c WA3DSP-L
147090|WA3DSP-L|73.30.112.57
wa3dsp-27225-hub*CLI> echolink dbget n 147090
147090|WA3DSP-L|73.30.112.57
If that looks good then things should be OK. If you continually see these errors for days on end then maybe we need to dig further. Nothing has been changed in the Echolink code and it does work.
The fact that you need to delay in the boot indicates a possible Internet problem. I have never had a situation where a delay was needed for an RPi2/3. That delay was primarily for the Beaglebone Black.

I'm helping a friend configure his new RPi3 Allstar node. We're using the most current build for the Pi3 and have Allstar functions working properly. Initially, Echolink was not loading, but upon changing the load time to 30 in the allstar.env file, Echolink now loads at boot, but with "Error in parsing header" errors:
-- Received OK from Echolink server server3.echolink.org[Jul 17 18:55:24] ERROR[295]: chan_echolink.c:2410 do_el_directory: Error in parsing header on server3.echolink.org

Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this error will be greatly appreciated.
