[arm-allstar] Echolink Won't Stay Linked

[Doug Crompton]

Dan,

 Echolink has gone through several bug fixes in the hamvoip code over the
last 5 months to make it more stable. As far as we know at this point it is
tremendously more stable then it had been before these changes. I run it
here on a busy hub with daily connections for months and others do also
without problems. Exactly why you would be having the problem you are is
hard to diagnose because it could be so many things.

The server5 error is because there is no active server5 BUT the code
requires at least 3 servers be defined or echolink will not load so if you
take server5 out you would need to put another in. server5 being in there
and logging those errors would have nothing to do with your apparent
problems though. I am assuming you are getting node downloads correctly -
echolink dbdump  - in the client and you have the proper port forwarding
setup for echolink to your server.

Unless you can be more specific it would be hard to diagnose. Has this just
started happening? Does it only happen with certain connections? Echolink
is not as forgiving as a permanent Allstar connection would be. Is your
Internet OK? Are you running Echolink on a separate node connected to a
main node?
