Hi Vincenzo,

Did you compile SER yourself? If Yes, you should check, if your mySQL-client has the same version as the mySQL-Server. If this does not help, you should set the mySQL-Password with the "old_password" function in mySQL. Like this:

update user set password=old_password('blabla') where user='ser'; flush priviledges;

This should help. I have never had this problem with SER, but with PHP using compiled PHP-mySQL Packages.

You can read more about this issue in the mySQL manual (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html)

This problems come out when I load the modules for MySQL support:mysql.so,auth.so,auth_db.so Asper having loaded this modules when i try to start SER whith the command serctl start it appears the following error:

Starting SER : PID file /var/run/ser.pid does not exist -- SER start failed

Checking the file log /va/log/messages I have found out that the errors that I had found trying to start the program were the following:
