Re: [Partysip-dev] Almost-infinite message loop for Invite

[Aymeric Moizard]

Simple issue :)

You have several names for your server where partysip is running:

Both gary.net and registrar.gary.net MUST be defined so that
registrar.gary.net will not be considered to be a remote server.

partysip should be improved to detect all interfaces but this is
not simple as many OS has different API to do that...

So modify your config to be:

serverip = ip.ip.ip.ip , 127.0.0.1
(else 127.0.0.1 would be considered a remote host! :<)

servername = gary.net, registrar.gary.net

Then it will run fine.

For the /etc/service issue, most platforms use the gethostbyname_r
method while OpenBSD has getaddrinfo. When getaddrinfo is used,
you might need to add the sip entry as you said... I don't understand
why I did not met that bug on my OpenBSD?
