I'm running Kamailio 4.4.6-2.1 installed from RPM on CentOS 7, where
/var/run is a tmpfs (by default). After every reboot Kamailio fails to
start with the following error:
Aug 16 00:27:39 sbc1 /usr/sbin/kamailio[7135]: ERROR: mi_fifo
[fifo_fnc.c:72]: mi_init_fifo_server(): Can't create FIFO: Permission
denied (mode=432)
I have the following line in my kamailio.cfg
modparam("mi_fifo", "fifo_name",
"/var/run/kamailio/kamailio_fifo")
At this point the /var/run/kamailio directory looks like this
drwx------. 2 root root 80 Aug 16 00:30 .
drwxr-xr-x. 26 root root 880 Aug 16 00:30 ..
srw-------. 1 kamailio kamailio 0 Aug 16 00:30 kamailio_ctl
If I run "chown kamailio /var/run/kamailio" and "systemctl start
kamailio"
I am good to go. Am I missing something in my config? It appears Kamailio
is creating the /var/run/kamailio folder as root, writing the kamailio_ctl
file, dropping root privileges, and then trying to write the kamailio_fifo
file.
Thanks,
Ryan
