Hi Jan,
I've been trying the CVS version of SER to test the latest Presence Agent
module. I'm using a very nearly identical configuration file to "pa.cfg" in
etc/. The server seems to start correctly and is listening at the specified
port. However, when any client sends a REGISTER, the server crashes. Is there
anything we can do to debug this or any previous CVS version you consider to be
estable enough to use for the time being?
Regards,
Jaime

hi vijay,
i did the installation through root. i think u cannot go about the
installation as a user as u wont have the privileges. Pls ask ur system
administrator to log is as root and do the installation.
also, pls send ur mails to everyone in the mailing list by sending ur
mails to serusers(a)lists.iptel.org. this will help others with similar queries.

But it is not compiling and giving error (Permission denied). So which files
i have to modify in order to compile / install the ser files in my account
as i have no permissions to root folder.
So can u help me how to compile and install the ser on linux with mysql
support and how to make call to MSN using SIP.
awating u r kind help / guide lines regading this.
bye
vijay
there is a seruser admin guide which u can download from iptel.org. this
will help u in every way. check this out.

Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to append a variable to a log command like:
log(1, "Register received \n");
For troubleshooting purposes I would like to be able to see a log in syslog that would say something like:
"Register received from subscriber= ricvil"
Is it possible to do something like?
log(1, "Register received from subscriber= $username\n");
I could not find any documentation to support this.
Thanks,
Ricardo
Well, I have no problem releasing the code, but there are a few
technical constraints.
- This is very much a test jig. For example, it uses
psql via a pipe to do all database access. That stuff is
layered out, so it can easily be directed at a real postgres
perl module, but we have some issues with perl modules so
tend not to use them, at least in early development. I
would expect it to start groaning at around 100
calls/minute. We're in a beta test at the moment and will
be in production within a month. When our call volume
increases, we will certainly recode this in C. However,
using direct database access from perl would probably give
an 80% of the gains, so that might be the next step.
- It depends on a special syslogd version. The change
is simple -- the timestamp is written as "seconds since
1970" to msec precision instead of the human-readable
representation. Unix time_t is simply more natural for this
kind of work. I didn't attempt to layer the timestamp
processing, but it only occurs in one or two places, so
introducing mktime() and giving up on msecs would generalize
this. I have a converted Linux syslogd.c. I'm pretty sure
less than 10 lines changed. I know I converted a FreeBSD
syslogd as well, but I can't find it.
- The script uses the database to keep state. The first
INVITE inserts the call detail and the call is active (no
call_end time). The first BYE with matching call_id updates
the call_end time. Heuristics are then applied to match
each log entry from the gateway (cisco based) to the
database entry. This allows detection of missed BYEs. The
point is that the the database is integral in the matching
algorithm. The side-benefit is that the database can be
used to display active calls. The algorithm is dependent
on efficient database indexing.
- There is no particular dependency on database type except I
do record endpoint IPs as Postgres "inet" types, but these
are not searched so could as easily be "char" type.
A "timestamp" type of some kind is pretty much crucial.
So, I'm happy to push the code out to the group "as is". If nothing
else, there are probably code fragments worthy of harvest. I can also
put a bit of time into generalizing it a little before making it
available. Opinions?
Andy

serweb is a web interface for ser. the database definitions are supplied
with ser.

Hi,
Has anybody developed some sort of crude accounting script for SER that would match all BYEs with their respective INVITEs in the syslog file and say how many seconds each call lasted?
Thanks,
Ricardo
