      Hi all!
can anyone tell me how to check the syntax of the openser.cfg file after 
adding code for new modules? also after saving the file with the changes in 
it, should the execute permissions be set to it? currently my openser.cfg 
does not have execute permission for anyone ie owner or user or group.
Please let me know asap
Thanks and Regards,
Padmaja

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..
Thanks a lot for all the help.
Regards,
Padmaja

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 Jayesh,
   I think you were mentioning about openser-1.0.1_src.tar.gz (that is 
from src directory of openser download) and i installed from bin directory 
of openser download area. The bin's tar ball is 
openser-1.0.1_linux_i386.tar.gz. and when that is installed, it does not 
show any openser-1.0.1 directory. it automatically loads various modules 
at their respective places and there is no Makefile i could see in it to 
edit it for mysql support. I have now openser from src. it is exactly as u 
mentioned.... this i have downloaded and installed as a user and not as 
root just to verify the directory structure of openser. i guess it is the 
right way to do and now i want to install it as root. should i delete the 
previous openser installations in that path and then install or when i 
install the src, it will automatically overwrite the existing onces? i am 
asking this because as root if i delete them it might damage the file 
system. again thanks so much....pls help me out!
   Thanks and Regards,
   Padmaja

   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?
   Thanks again
   Regards,
   Padmaja

   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
