[Serusers] SIP Express Router

Hello, We are trying to install and test your Sip Express Router. Environment: Redhat Linux 8.0 with mysql server running. I downloaded the rpm packages 1. ser-0.8.12-0.i386.rpm, 2. ser-0.8.12-0.src.rpm, 3. ser-jabber-0.8.12-0.i386.rpm, 4. ser-mysql-0.8.12-0.i386.rpm, 5. ser-radius-0.8.12-0.i386.rpm. from the ftp site. I, then, installed 1'st, 3'rd and 4'th packages. when i try to restart theserver, from the terminal window again, 'stopping ser : [FAILED], Starting ser: [OK]' message appears. but wheni run the terminal window, and check teh status of the ser server, it gives the following message. 'ser dead but subsys locked'. when i try to run the configuration file, /etc/ser/ser.cfg, it says permission denied.. Also, when i try to run ser_mysql.sh, using /usr/sbin/ser_mysql.sh, everything works fine. But when i run /usr/sbin/ser_mysql.sh create, to create a database, it asks for 'MySql password for root:'. Is it the root passsword for the system or the DEFAULT_PW or RO_PW (given in ser_mysql.sh). after its asks for the domain or realm, the following error message appears. '/usr/sbin/ser_mysql.sh: line 1: gen_ha1: command not found HA1 calculation failed' Also, i installed mysql server after installing the packages described above. will it be the cause of the issue ? Would really appreciate, if you could throw some light on this... as i'm new to linux, i find it really difficult, sometimes.. cheers, Krish Network Manager NTX Technology UK Ltd Block 40, Catterick way, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire Ph: +44 208 381 5904, Mob: + 44 7789 545 323 The information contained in this electronic message and any attachments to this message are intended for the exclusive use of the addressee(s) and may contain confidential or privileged information.
