Re: [Sipwitch-devel] std::runtime_error

[Haakon Meland Eriksen]

Hi Ryan!

Seems to be something else is using port 5060. My guess is sipwitch has been 
started from /etc/init.d/sipwitch automatically. If you stop it, and then try

sipw -x9 -f 

as a regular user, it might work better.

I would also recommend reading

http://www.gnutelephony.org/index.php/GNU_SIP_Witch_on_Debian_6.x_Squeeze

then

http://www.gnutelephony.org/index.php/GNU_SIP_Witch_configuration

and

http://www.gnutelephony.org/index.php/CSipSimple_for_Android
http://www.gnutelephony.org/index.php/Linphone_through_GNU_SIP_Witch_on_Debian

as these are all newer than the page you referenced. If none of this helps, 
come back. :-)

Yours sincerely,
Haakon Meland Eriksen
