Hello Serusers,
A few days ago, installed SER and some addons on a linux 686
using rpms for 386. Seems to work okay. Also serweb pages seem
to be working.
However, today, in someone's list post, there was a link to a "tarball"
directory. After looking through there, I see that the ser rpm brings
fewer modules along, and of course also, is not as up to date as the
tarball tar.gz-.
Question 1: If I want to install the tar.gz, do I delete the current rpm
version first or just write over? If delete first, clues for a method to
do that would be appreciated. Know where most of the rpm ser files
are, but not for sure. Just stop the current ser and then delete its
files and other references to it elsewhere?
Question 2: While looking over tarball files, I saw more than once
references to a second auth module that I cannot find anywhere in
tarball -- has to do with databasing, something like auth_db.so or
something like that. Is that module no longer needed, and if it is
needed, what does it support/enable and where to find it?
Thank you once more for your help -- Nell Bolen

the auth_db is part of the tarball. It implements database-related
functionality of authentication, i.e., password storage and verification.
It was not needed in 8.10, it is need for 8.11.

i'm sorry to say that, but you should know rpm better if you use a rpm-based
distribution. A look into the man page of rpm ('man rpm') should should you
that you should use 'rpm -e ser' to remove the installed Ser from your
system.
You should defiantly first remove the rom, before you install from a tarball,
because they have different default pathes compiled in.

auth_db is a new layer in Ser 0.8.11 with sits between the auth module and the
used database module. You need it, and it will be compiled by default if you
compile from a tarball. You will find the source at
sip_router/modules/auth_db/
