Yep, I agree.

I had to edit the Makefile in the /modules/acc directory to enable it to use a MySQL database.

Once I recompiled it worked fine.

 

This should be documented properly – there is plenty of information about using Ser with MySQL and how to setup the module, but very little about this!

 

The one thing which really lets Ser down to non-programmers like myself, is the lack of, or very outdated documentation.

Lets hope that the imminent new release has some up to date documents!

Sounds to me like the acc module you have wasn't compiled with the db code active.  When you compile the 0.9.x acc module, there's an option in the makefile to uncomment a flag to activate mysql accounting and another option to uncomment the flag to enable radius accounting.

If your acc module was compiled with the defaults, none of the acc db-related functions will be available (this it NOT related to acc_db which is actually now a separate module).

If you're using a package, you may need to download the source for 0.9.6, go into the modules/acc section, edit the Makefile, and look for the commented db flag (it's near the beginning), uncomment it, and then recompile just that module from the main src tree. Once the module has compiled, you can replace the module you currently have with the new one compiled to have the db functions enabled and start SER.

Bit of a pain, but not too bad, really.

N.

When I search this news list for answers I found the conversation below. But I found that there is no acc_db.so module anywhere. Not in source and not in /usr/local/lib/ser/modules. I looked in FreeBSD package, ports and even in released source code on iptel but no such module is to be found anywhere. I studied the realese documents but there is nothing said about changes in the acc module.
