[arm-allstar] IRLP Not Connecting to Reflectors and Favorites Redirect to EchoLink Node Numbers

[Doug Crompton]

Gerald,

 I am not an IRLP expert but I discussed this with Dave and I am looking
for Paul, KN2R's possible response. One issue that you need to be aware of
is that the ONLY thing you should ever copy from your original IRLP system
is the keys. No other files should be copied. It appears others have made
this mistake copying files over that caused downloads from IRLP that
clobbered our files and it causes general havoc. Based on your problems I
think the best thing would be for you to preserve your IRLP key file and
start over with a new install - download Hamvoip image, update, setup, and
reinstall IRLP. It is possible that things could be fixed without doing all
that but it would involve some work and not knowing what you have done
would make it hard. IRLP does work and there is no logical reason nor
changes in the code that would have caused what you are describing with the
stock Hamvoip IRLP code.
