Thanks, but I just forgot to tell that I already tried that. :-/ My new cfg: -------------------------------------------- debug=7 fork=yes log_stderror=no dns=no # (cmd. line: -r) rev_dns=no # (cmd. line: -R) listen=sip.neuropolis.org port=5060 children=2 fifo="/tmp/ser_fifo" ... -------------------------------------------- But still the same: # fuser -n tcp 5060 here: 5060 # fuser -n udp 5060 here: 5060 (Dunno what this "here" means here, but it is written for closed ports...) Oops, now I guess, ser actually terminates prematurely. After # /etc/init.d/ser start /var/run/ser/ser.pid contains a PID which is not running any more. And #ps aux | grep ser gives nothing "ser-like"... Also # strace /usr/sbin/ser gives: ... write(1, "Listening on \n", 14Listening on ) = 14 write(1, " sip.neuropolis.org"..., 54 sip.neuropolis.org [212.52.166.10]:5060 ) = 54 write(1, "Aliases: \n", 10Aliases: ) = 10 chdir("/") = 0 fork() = 23843 --- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) --- munmap(0x4001c000, 4096) = 0 exit_group(0) = ? sniper:/var/run/ser# Is this normal, possibly? What may I do wrong, please?

I wouldnt recommend unstable for server system unless they are experimental. SER runs fine on Debian stable. You only need to compile the according mysql version from source so you get the dynamic libs which seem to miss from the standard binary mysql distribution from mysql.com. -- Arnd
