Wrench Can't get local IP address in getaddrinfo
Hi all,

I am working with SIP protocol and am using SIPp to generate SIP traffic.

But the call is not going through since I get the error;

Code:
2015-02-24	14:09:39:330	1424804979.330517: Can't get local IP address in getaddrinfo, local_host='NODE-01', local_ip=''.

My ifconfig output is;

Code:

Any idea how I can get the local_ip to be assigned a value ?

Try /etc/hosts you can define adhoc useful address names in there. I think in this case it wants local_ip to be the IP of the server.

Yes thats right. I just added the server entry in /etc/hosts and it worked.

Code:
172.18.174.102 NODE-01

Thanks
