[Serusers] Newbie Questions about SER/serweb

Hello contributors, With little knowledge of what I was about, have set up a test ser server and serweb pages. At some point down the road, perhaps I'll learn enough to contribute an answer now and then. For now, I respectfully ask for help from anyone in this group who can give it, and thank you ahead of time for any efforts. Have the following questions/problems: =============================================================================================== Question #1 (about serweb): Will serweb pages run with php in safe mode? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Problem with serweb and ser_fifo: Serweb pages get the following error messages: At the top of any user page: Warning: fopen("/tmp/ser_fifo", "w") - Permission denied in /pathway to serweb pages/functions.php on line 172 Lower down on any user page, between User:X and "your email": sorry -- cannot open fifo Below is the source of the error message from functions.php: /* open fifo now */ $fifo_handle=fopen( $config->fifo_server, "w" ); if (!$fifo_handle) { $errors[]="sorry -- cannot open fifo"; return; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Question #2 (about serweb): Who owns ser_fifo and what permissions are needed to access it? Default permissions/ownership show me: prw-r--r-- 1 root root ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question #3 (about ser server): How does one assign a network address for the server as seen in the ser.cfg example? listen: 192.xxx.xxx.xxx Default config in rpm contains no such line. (Sorry to be so dense, but I know next to nothing about sip, ser, etc. Too new to all of it.) Is the network address line necessary, and if yes, how does one assign a network address? ============================================================================================== Thanks very much for any pointers/suggestions/help at all -- Nell Bolen
