Mumble goes to timeout when connecting to murmur server

[fbartolom]

I installed a murmur server with Ice support on my Centos 7 taxiprofessional.net server and configured to answer to port 64738. Notwistanding everything seemed fine in the installation, the server fails to answer. You may test it yourself connecting to it. Here is the murmur.ini file:

# Murmur configuration file.

#

# General notes:

# * Settings in this file are default settings and many of them can be overridden

# with virtual server specific configuration via the Ice or DBus interface.

# * Due to the way this configuration file is read some rules have to be

# followed when specifying variable values (as in variable = value):

# * Make sure to quote the value when using commas in strings or passwords.

# NOT variable = super,secret BUT variable = "super,secret"

# * Make sure to escape special characters like '\' or '"' correctly

# NOT variable = """ BUT variable = "\""

# NOT regex = \w* BUT regex = \\w*

# Path to database. If blank, will search for

# murmur.sqlite in default locations or create it if not found.

database=

# If you wish to use something other than SQLite, you'll need to set the name

# of the database above, and also uncomment the below.

# Sticking with SQLite is strongly recommended, as it's the most well tested

# and by far the fastest solution.

# murmurd processes connected to the same D-Bus daemon.

#dbusservice=net.sourceforge.mumble.murmur

# If you want to use ZeroC Ice to communicate with Murmur, you need

# to specify the endpoint to use. Since there is no authentication

# with ICE, you should only use it if you trust all the users who have

# shell access to your machine.

# Please see the ICE documentation on how to specify endpoints.

ice="tcp -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6502"

# Ice primarily uses local sockets. This means anyone who has a

# user account on your machine can connect to the Ice services.

# You can set a plaintext "secret" on the Ice connection, and

# any script attempting to access must then have this secret

# (as context with name "secret").

# Access is split in read (look only) and write (modify)

# operations. Write access always includes read access,

# unless read is explicitly denied (see note below).

#

# Note that if this is uncommented and with empty content,

# access will be denied.

What should I do to have it correctly working on my Centos server.

[kissaki]

According to your logs it started and is listening.

Check via ps if the process is indeed running, and via netstat if it is indeed still listening. If so, maybe you have a firewall that blocks requests?

[fbartolom]

I have no active firewall, for what I know, and murmur is alive and kicking:

ps -uax |grep mu

/usr/local/murmur/murmur.x86 -ini /etc/murmur.ini

how may I know better?

If you like to know more, you may try connecting to it at taxiprofessional.net at the standard port.

[kissaki]

Can you check listening via netstat -tunelp
