Re: [Serusers] Running SER in chroot and separating SER with serweb

Having playing with for 2 weeks, I get the SER running as I want. The next things I am trying are: 1. Run SER in chroot mode with MySQL 2. Separate SER and serweb on two servers. With 1, I have a partially successful config. When I can start SER with /usr/sbin/ser -u ser -g ser -t /var/ser, I got A. positive result if the DB connection string is "sql://ser:heslo@127.0.0.1/ser". B. However, if I use the DB connection string as, "sql://ser:heslo@localhost/ser", I got the following error message: Feb 16 19:46:09 sip /usr/sbin/ser[2452]: connect_db(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) Fair enough, coz SER is in a chroot environment and cannot stat the MySQL UNIX socket. There is no /var/ser/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. But, what is the difference between localhost and 127.0.0.1 here? Both should resolve back to 127.0.0.1, right? Why one use UNIX socket and the other use DOMAIN socket? Also, should SER open the DB connection before chrooting itself? Also, when running in chroot mode, SER cannot use DNS to resolve hostname. I get the following errors: Feb 16 20:19:03 sip /usr/sbin/ser[2873]: INFO: fifo process starting: 2873 Feb 16 20:19:03 sip /usr/sbin/ser[2873]: SER: open_uac_fifo: fifo server up at / tmp/ser_fifo... Feb 16 21:01:13 sip /usr/sbin/ser[2867]: ERROR: mk_proxy: could not resolve host name: "iptel.org" Feb 16 21:01:13 sip /usr/sbin/ser[2867]: ERROR: uri2proxy: bad host name in URI <sip:gcc008@iptel.org> Feb 16 21:01:13 sip /usr/sbin/ser[2867]: ERROR: t_forward_nonack: failure to add branches Feb 16 21:02:09 sip /usr/sbin/ser[2867]: ERROR: mk_proxy: could not resolve host name: "iptel.org" Feb 16 21:02:09 sip /usr/sbin/ser[2867]: ERROR: uri2proxy: bad host name in URI <sip:gcc008@iptel.org> This is a result of doing INVITE sip:abcdefg@iptel.org SIP/2.0 from my domain. If I put an entry into my chrooted /var/ser/etc/hosts, the request goes fine. Is it because of my chroot environment (later in the mail) or I have to compile SER in static mode? 2. Have anyone successfully put SER and serweb on different boxes? There is no problem connecting to the DB. However, I'm not sure about the /tmp/ser_fifo part. I'm not a programmer and can only manage to understand php code, no programming. How do I work around the /tmp/ser_fifo when it is on another server? Chroot environment: [root]# ls -lR /var/ser /var/ser: total 16 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 16 19:41 dev drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Feb 17 17:30 etc drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Feb 17 17:26 tmp /var/ser/dev: total 0 srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Feb 16 19:41 log crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Feb 11 11:44 null crw-r--r-- 1 root root 1, 8 Feb 11 11:45 random crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 5 Feb 11 15:16 zero /var/ser/etc: total 48 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 210 Feb 16 21:08 hosts -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 785 Feb 10 17:11 localtime -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5834 Jul 7 2001 protocols -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 43 Feb 16 14:52 resolv.conf /var/ser/tmp: total 0 prw-rw---- 1 ser ser 0 Feb 17 17:26 ser_fifo Chroot resolv.conf: Nameserver 127.0.0.1 And yes, the DNS is running on localhost and happily serving request.
