OSCAM Randomly Stopped Working and weird logs DM500

**ILM16** · Sep 6th 2011

I added a peer to CCCam and then rebooted the box. It came back on and said Starting OSCAM with CCCam 2.1.3 - as normal.

I tried channels and nothing would work.

I could still FTP the box and connect to the DM500 Webpanel.

I could not connect to the OSCAM webif.

I tried rebooting the box again and saw a quick error message flash up "Can't find file.../var/tuxbox..."

So I assumed that it was an OSCAM config file, I FTP the box and tried to reupload the config files and the upload for the .user file failed.

I couldn't kill OSCAM in the rush and decided to simply reflash the box. It's been fine for 24 hours since I uploaded the flash yesterday night which included reboots and restarts.

Are their any ideas as to what happened, and if it were to happen in the future, how can I find what that error actually was? Does the DM log those errors, I know OSCAM can log it's own.

Thanks,

Any help?

When telnet and try to restart OSCAM:

Warning: keyword 'ecmcache' in reader section not recognized

I say this is something possible does not mean that is what happens to you.

You may have someone, who is stealing the card, has entered the port and takes hold of your card. when that happens the result is constant reboots as you say. if you have done recently some line C or N may be that.

(a friend of mine recently did that happen)

can you do?

Close your door. oscam reinstall everything again or nlines clines but only with your card, if not restart so that you constantly oscam is a FAKE in your box, you'll have to find out clines or nlines is.

if that's resolved, you have to open another port difficult to decipher and speak with nlines clines and good to give new information about you.

That didn't solve the issue. Thanks anyway.

**master G** · Sep 25th 2011

Post the oscam log so we can see what the errors are.

**ILM16** · Sep 25th 2011

I can't post the error logs when it occurs as webif won't open, OSCAM doesn't seem to run.

What version of oscam are you using ? Is it from the addons panel from your image ? Have you tried updating the oscam binary to the latest version ?

**master G** · Sep 25th 2011

Could you post your oscam configs please.

These weird error logs you`ve started a new thread with will be the reason why your oscam is randomly stopping, so they are relevant to this thread.
No need for two separate threads, fix one error and it will probably sort both problems.

OSCAM is not randomly stopping, it only does that after I reboot the box.

These errors appeared for the first time ever yesterday afternoon, after a few weeks of OSCAM clearing my card fine.

boxid in oscam.server is not required so remove this line completely, in oscam.user you have group = 1,2 change this to group = 1

Thanks, however without boxid in oscam.server, Premier Sports would not clear.

**master G** · Sep 25th 2011

You need to completely remove the line from your configs, once you have look at oscam logs at startup and you will see that the boxid is read from the card.

**master G** · Sep 25th 2011

Try changing the oscam binary to a differant version and see if you still get the same errors.

The logs I use are from webif as no files are created in FTP.

How do you know the boxid is not being read? Sorry if this seems like I am doubting you, I'm not at all, it's just without the boxid, Premier Sports would not clear. I will try again later though, see if this time it does.

In oscam webinfo you will see this when starting oscam

So, when I remove boxid and restart, I should look for that?

When you see this you will know that oscam has the boxkey needed for premium channels.
