[OpenSIPS-Users] media-dispatcher and media relay connection problem

[Adrian Georgescu]

If you install from sources you must have enough experience and willingness to cope with all the differences that may appear compared with a stock distribution. Tomorrow you may bump into a different set of problems depending on environment, OS version and system libraries.

MediaProxy software itself is well documented in this respect and the fact that you have failed to perform an installation on your particular system does not mean that the software is poorly documented, but the contrary.

The only case where this doesn't apply is if you do not use the debian packages and/or try to manually start the relay without using the provided init script, but for that case the INSTALL file tells you to use the debian startup scripts as examples and they load the iptables module before starting the relay.
