LoRa packet forwarder – failed to start the concentrator

Hi,

I have the Multitech LoRa Conduit IP67 with AEP software. I didn’t get the packet forwarder to start so I upgraded AEP to 1.7.2 hoping that would help.

Now the packet forwarder does not log anything in /var/log (the previous version did), but the problem with it not starting remains.

If I kill the process /sbin/angel /var/run/lora/1/lora_pkt_fwd and start cd /var/run/lora/1; /var/run/lora/1/lora_pkt_fwd manually I get the following:

Any pointers on where to start trouble shooting?
