where the fifo is must be writable by the kamailio user. I thought the line modparam("mi_fifo", "fifo_mode",0666) set the permissions on the folder/file. Also, I tried changing the path to /tmp/kamailio.fifo that did not work either Please change as below: kamailio.cfg I have also tried this. Here is what I am getting. ERROR: Error opening Kamailio's FIFO /tmp/kamailio_fifo ERROR: Make sure you have the line 'modparam("mi_fifo", "fifo_name", "/tmp/kamailio_fifo")' in your config ERROR: and also have loaded the mi_fifo module. Interesting side note: After the initial installation and reboot, Kamailio came up and was running and kamctl moni displayed the correct results. However after running "service kamailio restart" I began getting the error again and have not been able to clear it. -----Original Message----- From: sr-users-bounces(a)lists.sip-router.org [mailto:sr-users-bounces@lists.sip-router.org] On Behalf Of sr-users-request(a)lists.sip-router.org Sent: Monday, December 06, 2010 3:37 AM To: sr-users(a)lists.sip-router.org Subject: sr-users Digest, Vol 67, Issue 17 Send sr-users mailing list submissions to sr-users(a)lists.sip-router.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to sr-users-request(a)lists.sip-router.org You can reach the person managing the list at sr-users-owner(a)lists.sip-router.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of sr-users digest..."
