Location of the P25Gateway
|
Jay
Trying to put my P25 Reflector in the Cloud. Does the P25Gateway have to be on the same server as the reflector? When I try to start the P25Reflector without a local gateway, it throws a Gateway error refering to the log files. There is no P25Gateway on that server. it is on a local box along with the MMDVM_Bridge, etc.
So should I move the P25Gateway to the Cloud server or make some other changes? 73 jb N4NQY

No, should be fine. Just have to make sure that P25Gateway can reach the reflector (whether public or private). -- 73 de Tony VK3JED/VK3IRL http://vkradio.com

The server throws the following error when I start the reflector:
/opt/P25Reflector# P25Gateway: unable to open the log file Any idea how to get rid of the error and get it working normally?? jb N4NQY

Check the ini,find the log section, make sure the path exists

Hi Jay, You might check the file location in the ‘ini’ file, but more likely, it is a permission problem. I change the ownership of the log folder to mmdvm:mmdvm, which usually allows the creation of the log file. Jeff WA3PNY

As others have said, that looks like a
path (does the path exist?) or permissions issue.

Tha worked, but I seem to now have no traffic through my P25 Gateway. Ports are set per example. Data flows through Analog_Bridge to MMDVM_Bridge but no activity shows in P25Gateway and the Gateway never shows up in the Reflector as connecting to the Reflector Port. Gateway shows "linked at Startup to Reflector xxxxx" but disconnects shorty thereafter with a "no response from xxxxx, unlinking message. I have read everything in the Group.io forums about P25Gateway and Reflector, but it is not well documented, but maybe the thought is that it doesn't have to be??
Anyone have this issue and can point me to possible cause. -- jb N4NQY

Can you connect a hotspot to the reflector?

Is the port number in the host file the same as the reflector? Are you sure the reflector is listening on the UDP port it think it is? (netstat -unap) Can your gateway connect to another reflector? Steve N4IRS

That's rather odd. Mine worked first
go when I moved DVSwitch away from the machine running
P25Reflector. Just checked it now to be sure.
Is your reflector correctly listed in a hosts (either the main P25 hosts file or the private one) file on the gateway machine? If it's a public reflector, what's the TG number? On 6/1/21 2:50 pm, Jay wrote:

It is properly in the "Private" P25Hosts.txt. Path to it is good. Hotspot links to it but does not stay connected. May be a clue. Checked ports again. Studying the posts I find that P25Gateway probably does not tell you when it receives traffic. Nor are there really any error messages. It may be ok and the problem at the reflector, but there is so little to configure at the reflector. It does however seem to not be seeing traffic from the Gateway machine. Ports?? The look open.
Next step is reconfigure to go to a known good reflector (DVSwitch Test?). ?That will narrow down the location of the error. Just wish there were a few more error messages. After this I am going to try to document my eventual success. BTW I came across a post concerning adding txPortN and rxPortN, etc to the ini file to allow both Wide and Narrow P25. Did that ever come to pass? Curious, Wide is all I really want. -- -- jb N4NQY

Sure, you can test on dvswitch.org port 43166 Dashboard at
<http://dvswitch.org/P25_DVSwitch/> That's what it's there
for.

Are you sure that it was P25 wide or narrow? Not YSF? URL?

Comment By Steve a little over half way down the page. I have determined that the problem is accessing the P25Reflector server. It has a YSF reflector it that works fine. Ports look ok. Still digging into it. -- jb N4NQY

That is talking about YSFw to P25.

I understand, thought that is an alternative to bridging the two Reflectors.
My problem appears to be the Gateway is not talking to the Reflector. I can connect to the TEST Reflector, no problem. Here is the output from both for the same time period. P25Gateway (P25Hosts.txt file has only 99539 defined) I: 2021-01-06 21:37:06.142 Loaded 1 P25 reflectors

My Hotspot acts like the Gateway. It shows "Connected to 99539" and in about 3 minutes times out (I guess).

Can I assume you tested it with your hotspot running Pi-Star. Are
you sure you disabled the firewall. I suggest for testing you use
the same port number are 10200 that way you know Pi-Star will allow
the port.

Just to update, Changing the port does not help. Tested with no firewall.
