Are you calling save("aliases") somewhere in the configuration file ? If so then you should replace it with save("location"), save("aliases") should never be called from the configuration file.

Ok this must be where I am confused... the only alias I have created
is
"1000" and is mapped to sip:admin@sip.dev.inmarsat.com
If I do a "serctl show alias admin" I get what I pasted below... I
would
have expected to see the newly created "1000" alias... However, doing
a
"serctl show alias 1000" does list admin.. as below
[root@sip log]# serctl alias show 1000 sip:admin@sip.dev.inmarsat.com;q=1.00;expires=31532649 sip:test1@161.30.211.131:5060;q=0.00;expires=399
But it's also showing test1?!?!? WHY! Lol! I have never created any aliases with test1. Similarly:
[root@sip dave]# serctl alias show test1 <sip:admin@<ip1>:5060>;q=0.00;expires=2621
Now as far as I know, that last command should have returned nothing,
as
I have never created any aliases for test1.
Also, I know that serweb creates aliases automatically - but it is set to create numerical aliases. Besides, I am not using serweb to create users, so that's just something else.
Are all the registering UAs messing up the aliases somehow? This is becoming very frustrating!

SER does not create aliases automatically (only serweb does so when creating a new user account). Only the content of location table gets updated automatically from REGISTER messages.
If the aliases are not correct then you can remove them using serctl
and
create new ones.

Hey Jan,
I guessed this! Which is why I am confused. I have not created
these
aliases... all I have done is registered three different UAs with
three
different usernames (admin, test1, test2). This is why I don't understand why there are all showing up. I think this may be why the extensions have stopped ringing correctly, but I don't know why it
has
happened.
Any suggestions? Tests? Anything to do with net configuration? SER believing it is the same user agent registering each time?
Once any, many thanks for all the support being shown here.

aliases are not recursive, in other words you cannot do something
like
this: alias1->alias2->alias3, SER would only translate alias1 into alias2 and then forward the request there.
If you create several aliases for a single user (alias1->user1, alias1->user2, alias1->user3) then all of them should ring because
SER
will fork the INVITE.

Many thanks Jan. I rebuilt from the latest source fc RPMS, so I
have
no
idea why serctl was inaccurate. Fixed now tho!
My further problem with aliases might be my understanding, or
there's
something funny happening. Basically, when having 2 or 3 UAs,
calling
one of them results in random numbers of the other ones ringing as well.. and usually the connecting party going straight to
"connected"
state rather than ringing.
When I use serctl to examine the aliases, I see the following:
[root@sip dave]# serctl alias show admin <sip:admin@<ip1>:5060>;q=0.00;expires=3524 <sip:test1@<ip2>:5060>;q=0.00;expires=2255 <sip:test2@<ip3>:5060>;q=0.00;expires=3565
[root@sip dave]# serctl alias show test1 <sip:admin@<ip1>:5060>;q=0.00;expires=2621
Am I completely misunderstanding how aliases work? But shouldn't
admin
show something like <sip:admin@<ip1>:5060 blah blah> and test1
show
something like <sip:test1@<ip2>:5060 blah blah>?
Am I missing something? Any suggestions?

Older versions of serctl contain a bug that make the inserted
aliases
to
expire immediately, that has been fixed a long time ago, see:

Hey guys,
I have been playing with SER for a few days now, and apart from
having
to rebuild all the RPMs to get it working on FC1 with mysql4
(mysql4
is
apparently not officially supported in FC1 ?!) everything was
smooth
and
dandy. Really enjoying using such a powerful and flexible
product.
However, I have one problem, and I've done my best to trawl all
the
groups and lists, and debug it myself and I cannot work out what
is
going on - perhaps I just don't understand how it works
properly.
I
am
trying to set numerical aliases so that incoming routing can be
handled
more easily by a PSTN gateway. I am trying the command:
Serctl alias add 1000 sip:admin@<sipserver>
I get a reply that the alias has been added (once a previous
message
on
this list pointed out that I needed to add lookup("aliases"); to ser.cfg)!
The problem is the mysql table is still empty - although serctl
says
that the alias has been added, it doesn't seem to have been.
When
I
try
and call "1000" I get a 404 not found, but calling "admin" works
fine.
Does anyone have any ideas?!
Also, on a slight side note, I was assuming that the aliases are reboot-safe... they're stored in the database and will get
reloaded
if
ser is rebooted. Is this the case by default or does an option
need
to
be enabled?
Sorry for the long post. Many thanks to everyone who has worked
on
this, and it would be fantastic to get this last bit sorted out.
Cheers,
Dave
