[SR-Users] Bad config - you can not call 'handle_publish' function (db_url not set)

Hi, We're trying to upgrade from 5.3.X to 5.4.5 however kamailio will not start and produces the following error, despite the db_url being set in the config and printed in the logs: Bad config - you can not call 'handle_publish' function (db_url not set) Looking at the code this error only seems plausible if the *pres_library_mode* is set to 1 here <https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/blob/cc2a9518207e36b7b18aef5c8714f0c21da3dd95/src/modules/presence/presence.c#L296> but we don't see the corresponding "switch to library mode" message in the debug logs which leaves me a bit stuck - I've included the grepped logs at the bottom of the message. Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this issue? I've seen a previous issue relating to interactions between presence and presence_xml which we're also using, but it looks like this was fixed in an older version. Any suggestions appreciated. # ----- presence params ----- modparam("presence", "db_url", DBURL) modparam("presence", "db_update_period", 20) modparam("presence", "clean_period", 60)
