Hello Friends,
I thought I'd set up a SIP server during the holidays and kamailio
seemed like a good choice. Since my setup won't be handling large
amounts of users, a file based backend seemed like a good choice.
Since I didn't find any "new users, please start with these steps"
instruction on the web page I just installed the base package for
Debian squeeze along with kamailio-berkeley-modules and proceded to
try to configure the database.
I set DBENGINE=DB_BERKELEY in /etc/kamailio/kamctlrc and ran 'kamdbctl
create', which fails with this message:
root@uma:/home/noa# kamdbctl create
db4.6_load: /usr/share/kamailio//db_berkeley/kamailio/lcr_gw: reopen:
No such file or directory
ERROR: Creating standard tables failed!
I tried DBENGINE=DBTEXT, and the command failed similarly:
INFO: creating DBTEXT tables at: /usr/local/etc/kamailio/dbtext ...
cp: cannot stat `/usr/share/kamailio//dbtext/kamailio/lcr_gw': No such
file or directory
ERROR: Creating core tables failed!
the LCR module got refurbished and changed completely the database
structure, but the scripts to create the tables for db_text and
db_berkeley engines seem to be not maintained in this case.
Based on this I have a few questions:
1) Is there a text somewhere outlining the recommended steps to get a
basic server going using the .deb packages?
Just set your apt sources.list accordingly:
http://www.kamailio.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/packages:debs
Then install the packages you want to use.
There is a tutorial to install from source, but if you skip first part
about compilation & install, and then work with new paths for files
(configs and binaries are in /etc/kamailio and /usr/sbin when installing
from debs), it should guide you pretty easy steps to get it work:
http://www.kamailio.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/install:kamailio-3.1.x-from-git
2) What is the recommended backend for the least amount of install
time trouble?
MySQL is the most used and for sure no troubles in handling db creation.
Postgres should be fine as well.
Cheers,
Daniel
3) Is the issue I got into above a known problem? Is there a fix
available? I asked my friend google, but she didn't seem to have an
easily findable solution.
