Re: [SR-Users] Kamailio 4.4 wont start on CentOS 7 using script

when starting from the "sbin" directory it uses this as default: "/var/run/kamailio.pid"...I changed it to "PID_FILE=/var/run/kamailio/kamailio.pid" and it works fine as well the PID_FILE in the " /etc/init.d/kamailio" file is also that one: " PID_FILE=/var/run/kamailio/kamailio.pid" and that folder has all permissions. I can still use it w/o the service script but it would be nice to have it be working properly ________________________________ From: Fabian Borot <fborot(a)hotmail.com> Sent: Thursday, August 4, 2016 9:54 AM To: sr-users(a)lists.sip-router.org Subject: Re: Kamailio 4.4 wont start on CentOS 7 using script thank you, yes, I did have to change these lines according to my install path , these are my settings: KAM=/usr/local/kamailio-4.4/sbin/kamailio KAMCFG=/usr/local/kamailio-4.4/etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg PROG=kamailio PID_FILE=/var/run/kamailio.pid LOCK_FILE=/var/lock/subsys/kamailio RETVAL=0 DEFAULTS=/etc/default/kamailio the directory is created: [root@ar-mia-proxy-01 ~]# ls -la /var/run/kamailio/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 40 Aug 4 15:18 . drwxr-xr-x. 23 root root 640 Aug 4 15:18 ..
