Hi, SER will not start if I am to configure SER to run using MySQL module. I followed the instructions in the HowTo guides. I currently have MySQL version 4.0.16 installed and is running. The mysql.so module is in the correct directory as specified in the config file. When I run the 'serctl start' script, I would get only this response; [root@localhost modules]# serctl start Starting SER : cat: /var/run/ser.pid: No such file or directory started pid() Here's an excerpt from my config file (ser.cfg). Thanks for your advice(s); # # # $Id: ser.cfg,v 1.21.2.1 2003/07/30 16:46:18 andrei Exp $ # # simple quick-start config script # # ----------- global configuration parameters ------------------------ #debug=3 # debug level (cmd line: -dddddddddd) #fork=yes #log_stderror=no # (cmd line: -E) /* Uncomment these lines to enter debugging mode debug=7 fork=no log_stderror=yes */ check_via=no # (cmd. line: -v) dns=no # (cmd. line: -r) rev_dns=no # (cmd. line: -R) port=5060 #children=4 fifo="/tmp/ser_fifo" # ------------------ module loading ---------------------------------- # Uncomment this if you want to use SQL database loadmodule "/usr/lib/ser/modules/mysql.so" loadmodule "/usr/lib/ser/modules/sl.so" loadmodule "/usr/lib/ser/modules/tm.so" loadmodule "/usr/lib/ser/modules/rr.so" loadmodule "/usr/lib/ser/modules/maxfwd.so" loadmodule "/usr/lib/ser/modules/usrloc.so" loadmodule "/usr/lib/ser/modules/registrar.so" # Uncomment this if you want digest authentication # mysql.so must be loaded ! loadmodule "/usr/lib/ser/modules/auth.so" loadmodule "/usr/lib/ser/modules/auth_db.so" # ----------------- setting module-specific parameters --------------- # -- usrloc params -- #modparam("usrloc", "db_mode", 0) # Uncomment this if you want to use SQL database # for persistent storage and comment the previous line modparam("usrloc", "db_mode", 2) modparam("usrloc", "db_url", "sql://ser:spirent@localhost/ser") # -- auth params -- # Uncomment if you are using auth module # modparam("auth_db", "calculate_ha1", 1) # # If you set "calculate_ha1" parameter to yes (which true in this config), # uncomment also the following parameter) # modparam("auth_db", "password_column", "password") #database location for auth module modparam("auth_db", "db_url", "sql://serro:spirent@localhost/ser") # -- rr params -- # add value to ;lr param to make some broken UAs happy # modparam("rr", "enable_full_lr", 1)
