Ok i've brought this up in the past but no one answered:
1./ User signs up 2./ User receives confirmation email 3./ User clicks on URL 4./ User receives: Warning: fopen(/tmp/ser_fifo): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /www/serweb/html/functions.php on line 206 sorry -- cannot open write fifo We regret but your voipweb.fast.co.nz confirmation attempt failed. Please contact voip@fast.co.nz for further assistance. 5./ In the backround user is actually added to subscription table but left in pending table too, is this a problem?
prw-rw---- 1 777 wheel 0 Mar 10 16:51 /tmp/ser_fifo I've tried chmod 777 this file many times, doesnt seem to help
Any idea's people? Is this ser_fifo file needed, what does it do? How do I fix serweb?

P.S. Latest stable Serweb via cvs
Barry,
(We seem to be meeting on more than one mailing list today!)
From your output below, the fifo has owner 777, not permissions 777 - perhaps you were doing chown when you meant chmod?
The fifo needs to be writeable by the user your web server is running as. On my lab system, it's:
prw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Feb 21 10:53 /tmp/ser_fifo
To get this, run the following commands as root:
chown root.root /tmp/ser_fifo chmod 0666 /tmp/ser_fifo
On production systems, I like to make a 'ser' group, put the ser and http server users in it, then chmod 0660 instead of 0666.
Leaving the user in the pending table is a bit ugly, but the system will probably still work. You may care to fire up the mysql command line client, and do a 'delete from pending' when you know there's no-one in the queue.

Hi Alistair,
Same list different thread.
Yeah I did notice this mistake I made and corrected it, however since doing so, when I go to the confirmation page it says "opening page" with the vlue bar slowly moving across, never stops until timeout has exceeded. It's doing it's thing in the backround as it copys the user to subscribers but still not removing from pending, I may need to edit the code manually however didnt really want to do this. If I click the confirmation, see "Opening page" then click refresh I get:
error in SQL query, line: 43 We regret but your voipweb.fast.co.nz confirmation attempt failed. Please contact voip@fast.co.nz for further assistance.
Removing pended users, well I can do this at midnight every sunday maybe.

Barry,
You shouldn't need to delete pending users by hand. If it's not being done automatically, something's wrong.
Sure SER is running and is accessing the fifo? Try this command as root:
fuser -v /tmp/ser_fifo
It ought to list quite a few SER processes running.
If you'd like commercial help getting this fixed, I can ssh into your server and take a look if you like. It wouldn't be very much. Drop me an email off list if you're interested.

I've edited the code and got it all working, however still get slow page loads when trying to access ser_fifo (pages dont load, just blue bar going slowly till timeout). Another thing i'm thinking may be an issue is I have 2 servers sharing the same DB, one remote server and then the local one, how are they going to share ser_fifo info; what the heck is ser_fifo used for; cant it use the DB?
Everytime i start ser I have to change the permissions of ser_fifo :/

Barry,
The fifo is used by programs such as serctl and the web interface to communicate with SER itself. It's not accessible from remote machines, which means that the web interface needs to run on the same machine as SER. If you have 2 SER machines you need to think carefully about how to do the web interface, as the web accesses both MySQL directly and SER through the FIFO.
If you have to change the permissions each time, something is still wrong.

How does one implement the following:
US Server - 202.7.6.33 NZ Auckland - 202.7.6.33 NZ Wellington - 202.7.6.33
Each server also has a unique real world IP to communicate in the backend for mysql etc, however the anycast range above is used to connect a person to the closest peering server. I'm starting something similar to FWD but with a NZ presence, there are a number of very excited users wishing to signup, with an option of making international calls via a gateway provider in the future.
The Auckland server will have the DB and all the others will connect remotely to the DB via the unique IP address. The Auckland server will have an Asterisk installation running on 5070 to deal with voicemail and peering to other providers with my unique user/pass (Unless this can be done with SER)
If anyone is willing to help with this community project please advise, if you could help with configs, that would be a GREAT help. If you're a current VOIP provider and have a solution that I could use to deploy this network, it'd be much appreciated. I'm not doing this for money so I don't expect to be paying any money to set it up, I have the server resources and bandwidth and thought this would be a great way to put it to use. In return I can advertise your PBX solutions to the NZ market as there are currently none that I know of.
Thanks Kindest Regards Barry Murphy

Hi,
Sure I can do this, not that I really need any more servers, is there a catch do I have to pay for anything; this is mainly for New Zealanders, however will be open to anyone and i'll peer with any providers I can, such as FWD.
I'm mainly looking for the voip solution to manage the users and a signup system which supports multiple servers, etc.
Thanks Barry

This is getting a little out of control here. When did this become a forum for advertising services for payment ? I thought this was a discussion forum for help ? It seems that people in here seem to think that when they have solution working for themselves it they should sell the services based on GNU. For that matter here is my offer to anyone that needs a solution
Freeporn site with evey VOIP account monthly payment of only 69.69
People that have a right to offer service for payment here should be those that acutually contribute programming for SER or its modules.
Just my 2 cents.

Hi
I dont think anyone has asked for payment, they are offering free colocation space to someone who needs it at their own cost.

This can be done, but u need to work out why u want the split of servers, is it to handle the media stream locally to the person, since the register is going to NZ for all request, if ur handling the stream...and its a free service , then I presume u are handling the stream simply to help users who are having NAT problems.
A previous user mentioned that they can help with 1U hosting, in the UK if u need colo I can help you out with that, obvioulsy if u need terebytes of bandwidth I may have to charge :-), unless someone can give me free bandwidth.

Hi Barry!
A one server setup is simple. Use ser+serweb and you are done. For multiple server it depends an what do you want to achieve. There is nood need to have the subscribtion on several servers. Setting up serweb on one server should be sufficient.
Using rtpproxy it makes sense to distribute the servers if you expect a worldwide community.
As long as there aren't millions of user, I would setup 1 server on your main location (ser+rtpproxy+serweb+asterisk), and maybe a second server with rtpproxy only on a second location (depending on the round-trip-times inside New Zealand).
We have a one server setup with 1000 users. ser+asterisk (voicemail,conference)+db on the same PC without any performance issues: # uptime load average: 0.17, 0.10, 0.09
Thus, as long as the delays for the RTPproxy will not heavily effect voice quality, I would stay with a 1 server setup.
