What linux distribution are you using? What fop2 version did you download?

Best regards,

The --test option does not start the server, just test the connection.

To verify if the server is running:

pgrep fop2_server

To actually start fop2 from the command line with no init script:

/usr/local/fop2/fop2_server -X 3

When the server is running it listens to port tcp/4445, that port must be open, not filtered. The web application will try to connect to that port, you have problems with that right now. Be sure that the fop2_server is running and that the port is not filtered.

Best regards,

Depends on what you are experiencing.. I am trying to determine what happens:

1)
If you get a login prompt, and then you are never prompted again and see the attempt to connect 1,2,3,4

That means that the client is not able to connect to port 4445. Is the service is running as it seems to be, then you have some kind of firewall preventing access to that port (you can try to telnet to port 4445 from your browser machine and see if it connects). Or you have a flash blocker or the flash player is not installed. There is another, rare, potential cause: that you have non ascii characters on your button configuration file and that file is not saved as utf8.

2)
You get the login prompt, and enter some extension and password, and then you are prompted BACK for user and password.

In that case you are connecting to port 4445 but your credentials are incorrect. By default fop2 includes autoconfiguration for freepbx and reads users from voicemail.conf using the extension number and voicemail secret for credentials. If you created a user yourself in fop2.cfg , use that. If you did a manual configuration, do not forget to comment out the last #exec line because it will override what you configured previously by hand.
