Hello,

first, as pointed in other related discussions in this mailing list, it might be better to use a different approach if you start everything from scratch. That will be doing all signaling handling in kamailio and use asterisk only as media server. Practically all user data is in kamailio, routing to asterisk only when needed for media services. The tutorial is more targeting existing asterisk deployments. Nevertheless, see more comments inline.

Hello,

being new to Kamailio, I have been closely following Daniel's tutorial "Kamailio 4.0.x and Asterisk 11.3.0 Realtime Integration using Asterisk Database", 
hoping to be able to setup a basic SIP server with voicemail-boxes attached to the the accounts. (Eventually, UACs that live behind either port-restricted or
symmetric  NATs should be supported (i.e. experience two way audio), so, I guess, eventually "WITH_NAT" needs to be defined and rtpproxy needs to be 
installed as described in the "Run your own Skype-like service in less than one hour" tutorial... ?)

Anyway, I am encountering a couple of difficulties in an early stage and hope for some insights form the experts: 

1) Even though launching Kamailio with "/etc/init.d/kamailio start" seems to succeed ...

root@jm1:~# /etc/init.d/kamailio start
Starting Kamailio:
 loading modules under /usr/lib64/kamailio/modules_k/:/usr/lib64/kamailio/modules/
  Listening on 
             udp: 127.0.0.1:5060
             udp: 178.254.20.156:5060
             tcp: 127.0.0.1:5060
             tcp: 178.254.20.156:5060
Aliases: 
             tcp: rv1192.1blu.de:5060
             tcp: localhost:5060
             udp: rv1192.1blu.de:5060
             udp: localhost:5060
             *: jingle-me.org:*

kamailio started.
root@jm1:~# 

  
... SIP Clients (I have tried several) cannot register and receive the response: 401 Unauthorised.

cat /var/log/syslog yields:

Jun  5 21:59:01 jm1 /usr/sbin/kamailio[2200]: INFO: ctl [io_listener.c:225]: io_listen_loop:  using epoll_lt io watch method (config)

I suspect that the "INFO: auth [auth_mod.c:350]: auth: qop set, but nonce-count (nc_enabled) support disabled" hints to the problem, but have no clue how to fix that.
It should go fine with this message (to try to get rid of it, paste here the module parameters for auth and auth_db modules). Anyhow, the logs you provide are from startup. You have to get the logs when the phone attempts to register. Set debug=3 in your config, restart and then register with a phone, you should see lots of log messages. Paste them to mailing list if you cannot sort out the issue by yourself.
2) Kamailio does not start on boot-up, even though "/etc/init.d/kamailio start (stop/restart/status)" work(s), and  /etc/default/kamailio looks like this:

RUN_KAMAILIO=yes
USER=kamailio
GROUP=kamailio
SHM_MEMORY=64
PKG_MEMORY=4
SSD_SUID=no
DUMP_CORE=no

Right after a re-boot, root@jm1:~# chkconfig kamailio yields: "kamailio on", 
however, root@jm1:~#/etc/init.d/kamailio status yields: "Status of Kamailio: kamailio is not running." at this time.

Can you do "ps auxw | grep kamailio" and see if kamailio processes are listed?

Cheers,
Daniel

Any hints are appreciated!

Best regards,

-Thomas
