Hi, I have openser working now. i have installed it from src yesterday after manually deleting all the files installed from binaries. i have added database support and now it is working fine with authentication. i have tried openserctl start and stop and the first time they worked fine. but now if i type openserctl start, it either tells me no /var/run/openser.pid file found or it shows starting openser and then the cursor keeps blinking but i dont see the pid number of openser. but registrations keep happening . pls let me know what to do..

Hi, Sorry, but I never tried installing it from binaries. So i have no idea about whether installing it from src will overwrite or not. But I guess, it should overwrite. But not very sure. Another long way to delete is only locating the openser files and removing it mannually. w/regards, Jayesh

Hi padmaja, I guess there should have been a standalone directory called openser1.0.1 after you untar the .tar.gz file using tar -xzvf. In that directory itself there is file called Makefile in which the mysql module is excluded by default. Did you also check the logs in /var/log/messages about what is the error. Those messages are helpful to debug. You dont always need to go to sbin to start openser, there is a command called openserctl start to start it. I have a suggestion for you. Please visit onsip.org and register on that site. They have very good getting started documents which will help you. You can then structure your openser.cfg the way you want.
w/regards, Jayesh.
Hi Jayesh, Thank you so much for the reply. I have downloaded the version openser-1.0.1 from cvs. I thought that is a stable release and no changes are going to be made to it. Do i have to again revert to the tar.gx version? Also please look at what happened when i previously installed the .tar.gz version of openser before doing the cvs
1. downloaded openser-1.0.1-linux_i386.tar.gz version as root. 2. It is now under / (the root directory). after that i did unzip and untar on that. 3. the file and modules are loaded into the subdirectories of the /usr directory.I could not anywhere find a standalone directory called openser-1.0.1 with the directory sip-server in it. also there is no makefile here.... (All these i see when i download it thru CVS in the /usr/local/src directory.) 4. I tried to see through the list for the module mysql.so but i could not find it....and so for uri_db module also. these modules are present when i install openser thru cvs 5. i did not do any make on it. I thought it is precompiled version and will automatically get installed when i do the untar and unzip. please correct me if the tar version also has to go thru make 6. i ran openser through /usr/local/sbin/openser start. and it ran successfully... it showd the tcp and udp ports on which it is running..i could register my sip UA without authentication. 7. then i wanted to set it up for mysql support. i edited the config file and uncommented the necessary modules and tried to create the openser databse in mysql. here it failed stating ha1 calculation failed.. also it states there is no mysql.so module which is true.
Please let me know if I have made any mistakes in the installation process.... I am new to openser.. now if i want to revert to .tar.gz version, will all the openser modules and config files from the cvs be replaced by the tar.gz version? or will there be duplicate entries left?

Hi padmaja, Running openser from cvs would not solve your problem. Openser from cvs is the development version which will be released after final testing is done. To be safe, its better if you use .tar.gz file to install. For enabling mysql, go to the openser directory and you'll find a makefile. In the makefile there is a line exclude_modules?= somewhere around line no.49. From there just remove mysql and recompile it again. You can start openser using openserctl start from the command line. To check for some errors you can set debug=9 in the openser.cfg file. Normally the logs are stored into /var/log/messages. You can check for errors in this file.
Hi! there is something I need to mention here with respect to openser not working.....
Initially I had openser installed from .tar.gz and i could run it from /usr/local/sbin/openser. It worked fine that way without any authentication. I could see local registration of my sip UAs with the openser being successful. then i set up mysql. It too started successfulyy thru webmin. next I tried to create the openser database in mysql from /usr/sbin/openser_mysql.sh create. It prompted me for the root password of mysql, the domain name and then failed stating that the Ha1 calculation failed. also when i tried to modify the openser.cfg file to support mysql database i found that there is no mysql.so module in the /usr/local/lib/openser/modules/ path.
Because of the above problems, I tried installing openser from CVS and here all the modules and configuration files are present in the respective locations as mentioned in the web link for installing openser. I could even create the openser database structures in mysql. i tried uncommenting the needed modules for database suppport. now when i try to run openser thru monit, there is absolutely no response and openser does not look like running............
I am a newbie at openser......please help me which way i should run openser.....
thanks and regards, Padmaja

Hello,
using openserctl to start/stop is obsolete, you have to use the init.d script for you distribution. Here there are, in your source tree:
Debian: etc/openser.init RH/Fedora: packaging/rpm/openser.init Suse: openser.init.SuSE
Just copy this file in /etc/init.d/openser and then use: /etc/init.d/openser start /etc/init.d/openser stop
If you have a custom installation you may need to edit '/etc/init.d/openser'.
Cheers, Daniel

Then start/stop option should be removed/marked as obsolete. There's no point in carrying dead code. => Less headache, less traffic on the mailing list :)

Hi! thank you so much for the reply....Do you mean that the /var/run/openser.pid file is not required if we run it thru init?I too would like to run openser thru init and i initially tried to do it that way. but the web site has something called how to run openser thru init which again requires installation of another s/w called monit daemon which will start and stop openser. but even when i tried to start openser thru init script as /etc/init.d/openser start, i get the following message: "Command monit to start openser" and then nothing happens.... i get the prompt back. if i go to the web interface of monit, i see it tried to start openser but failed due to the same reason: /var/run/openser.pid does nt exist.
so i want to know what to do if the openser.pid file is not present in the /var/run No /var/run/openser.pid file found . Please help me out!!
Thank you all for the help with syntax check of openser.cfg.....
Thanks and Regards, Padmaja
