Today I have encountered error starting Hudlite-server in Trixbox 2.6.2.2:
#>service hudlite-server start
Starting hudlite-server [FAILED]
When going in Trixbox PBX -> Hudlite Admin, there is no password displayed for each extension.
During investigation, I have found tons of same error message in /usr/local/fonality/hud/logs/error.log
-> Relay:2009-08-12 04:05:30> Failed to check configuration files. Reason: Name contains invalid start character: ' '
And since googling yielded no result, I managed to solve it on my own. And the reason is simple: name of one extension contains "&" character.
After deleting ampersant letter from BOTH extension name in FreePBX and in /etc/asterisk/hud/users.xml, hudlite-server starts [OK].
Note: even hudlite-server is okay, all Hud passwords for extensions are re-generated to new ones. You should restore the old HUD passwords, or update them on each Hudlite client again.
Just want to share it in case you may need.
