You may have a problem starting dspserver because you haven't created the SSL key pairs. For example:

$ dspserver
Reading conf file /home/frohro/dspserver.conf
Country Lookup is On
gHPSDR rx 0 (Version 0.7)
dspserver string: 20130609;-master
getSoundcardId: HPSDR id=8
setSoundcard: 8
setSoundcard -41.000000 -48.000000
etup sdr thread 0: done
setup sdr thread 1: done
setup sdr thread 2: done
client_thread
[2013-08-26 10:15:12] client_thread: listening on port 8000
Couldn't read 'pkey' or 'cert' file.  To generate a key
and self-signed certificate, run:
 openssl genrsa -out pkey 2048
 openssl req -new -key pkey -out cert.req
 openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in cert.req -signkey pkey -out cert
client ctx init failed: No such file or directory
 

Note the message about the SSL keys ("Couldn't read 'pkey' or 'cert' file.") not being set up. This is a process you do once. The three commands to set up the SSL keys are just what the dspserver response above told you to do. The second of these commands will ask you to personalize your keys. Just answer the questions as they are presented.

 openssl genrsa -out pkey 2048
 openssl req -new -key pkey -out cert.req
 openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in cert.req -signkey pkey -out cert
