Coturn: TURN Server not working

[diegobill]

I opened this issue https://github.com/jsxc/jsxc/issues/583 in my xmpp client (JSXC), but the problem is with my turn server (coturn), I tested my turn server with https://webrtc.github.io/samples/src/content/peerconnection/trickle-ice/ but i did not receive any candidates. I tested numb.viagenie.ca turn server too, but no candidates returned. What is the problem with these turn servers?

I am also having this problem, can't seem to fix it. Using and running a stock coturn config

@callancarr , Do you running coturn in a private enterprise network too? I am testing ejabberd as STUN/TURN server but I had problems too: https://github.com/processone/ejabberd/issues/1925

I'm running coturn on my own amazon lightsail vps instance.

If I go to the URL on http I can see that the server is running, but my app requires https and when I go on there via https I get a certificate compatibility error. Documentation for Coturn is extremely convoluted no luck :/

I fixed the problem, I changed the /etc/turnserver.conf to:

listening-port=3478
tls-listening-port=5349
alt-listening-port=3479
alt-tls-listening-port=5350
listening-ip=IP1
listening-ip=IP2
relay-ip=IP1
min-port=49152
max-port=65535

Insert:

If I am correct the issue has been resolved and was configuration issue.
Thanks for sharing.
(btw. I have added in latest coTURN version a warning in the log about that
if lt-cread-mech and use-auth-secret used in the same time, then it will cause that use-auth-secret will override lt-crec-mech.)

I will close this issue now,
but If you think there are any not resolved issues then please reopen it and comment.

Thanks again..

Excuse me, I have the same problem, I want to know the IP1, IP2 in your turnserver.conf are all public IP?@diegobill

[misi]

AFAIK only the external ip is the public ip.

AFAIK only the external ip is the public ip.

Thanks for your reply, I have solved this problem.

I keep getting this mesage on startup: "oturn disabled in /etc/default" when in fact it is "TURNSERVER_ENABLED=1" In addition, it won't start
