[Serusers] Re: Re: Using IP address as domain - sr-users

22 Sep 2006

Hi andrey,
        I have made suggested changes in ser.cfg as follows
                listen=202.87.x.x
                alias=202.87.x.x
        and did
                #export SIP_DOMAIN=202.87.x.x

        I get following log when try to start SER
        #/etc/rc.id/init.d/ser start

        ------------log starts here--------------------
        Starting ser:

Hi,

AFAIK, SIP_DOMAIN you need to export anyway.. Just put your IP instead
of the name. Then this SIP_DOMAIN will be used to properly add
contacts to your subscriber table. So, if your domain is an IP
address, newly added ppl will have an IP instead of domain for their
host part of URI. Try also to specify alias as you IP address, i.e.

listen="202.x.x.x"
alias="202.x.x.x"

You may also try to add a domain entry to the domain table with serctl
(that is if you use functions in your config such as
"is_uri_host_local()"), i.e.

serctl domain add 202.x.x.x

Hope it will work for you.

  Andrey.

  Hi friends,
        I have SER (with database support) running on my linux box. But I do
...
  not have a domain name registered for the IP of this
machine but it does
 have a public IP (202.87.xx.xxx) address which allows me access it from
 outside.

        If I try to access (using sipsak client) a uri from local system it
 fails.
        example URIs  I am trying are ...
        sip:mukesh@<public ip>
        sip:mukesh@<public ip>:5060

        ...with no result :(

        I referred http://mit.edu/sip/sip.edu/ser.shtml to configure my
 ser.cfg.

        So the question is How can I connect to SER using IP and do I need
 to use "# export SIP_DOMAIN=<public ip>"?
