I was editing my working 0.8.14 system today, and obviously have a bad config file. in the course of fixing the numerous problems, I came across this error when trying to start ser: root @ sip> /etc/rc.d/init.d/ser start starting ser..

This is even with my previously working config file, AND after re-running the "make all" and "make install" on 0.8.14_src.tar.gz ser.cfg attached as example.exe I'm starting ser with only the pid file option (-p I think). a while back I chown'd and chgroup'd the ser folders to a user and group called "ser", but haven't added the -u and -g options to my startup, cause I can't figure out how to get it to work properly that way. Yes, I'm a linux n00b, and have been reading serusers for a few weeks - 90% of my questions so far have been answered through there - I just can't find any answers to this other than one guy in May who just reinstalled, and that solved it. Thanks!
