[Serusers] Pb with starting SER

Hi everybody, I have installed SER successfully and I have started to deal with. Unfortunately I'm New on Linux and SER too and I have made a mistake regarding the starting of SER : - I'm using latest package on Red Hat 9 and I have tried to understand the serctl start / stop / restart functions to make a automatic start in the Init.d. during the tests I was unable to stop or kill the process (pid) launched by start function - I received always the same msg regarding the existence of a file(ser.pid) and/or a problem to kill the ser process. Because I'm dumb and newbie I have deleted the ser.pid file in /var/run/ to resolve this problem. Now I can't do nothing because the start or stop or restart function don´t want to handle SER because of ser.pid. I have tried manually to create the file and insert a fake process : the same pb. Then I have tried to use the -P and -E options of SER to create and use a ser.pid file...nothing. Does anyone can help me because I can´t use SER anymore... Thanks in advance to the community.
