Thanks Alex, In my case it is ser.cfg, not kamilio.cfg. I have made a single correction: I have changed this: # ------------------ module loading ---------------------------------- #!ifdef LOCAL_TEST_RUN loadpath "modules:modules_s" #!else loadpath "/usr/lib/ser/modules:/usr/lib/ser/modules_s" #!endif To this: # ------------------ module loading ---------------------------------- #!ifdef LOCAL_TEST_RUN loadpath "modules:modules_s" #!else loadpath "/tmp/my/very/strange/path/lib/ser/modules:/tmp/my/very/strange/path/lib/ser/modules_s" #!endif And the situation has improved. I have gone from: » /tmp/my/very/strange/path/sbin/ser loading modules under /usr/lib/ser/modules:/usr/lib/ser/modules_s ERROR: bad config file (34 errors) To: » /tmp/my/very/strange/path/sbin/ser loading modules under /tmp/my/very/strange/path/lib/ser/modules:/tmp/my/very/strange/path/lib/ser/modules_s ERROR: bad config file (2 errors) But still two errors, which I can not find. How can I tell the ser binary to help me with pinpointing the errors? I have tried to start with -ddd, but it has not helped. By the way, the other configuration files are: etc/ `-- ser |-- dictionary.sip-router |-- ser-advanced.cfg |-- ser-basic.cfg `-- ser.cfg And they seem to be fine. There was a correct reference to the right installation path in ser-basic.cfg: # ------------------ module loading ---------------------------------- #!ifdef LOCAL_TEST_RUN loadpath "modules:modules_s" #!else loadpath "/tmp/my/very/strange/path/lib/ser/modules:/tmp/my/very/strange/path/lib/ser/modules_s" #!endif On Sat, Apr 7, 2012 at 9:54 PM, Alex Balashov<abalashov(a)evaristesys.com> wrote: _______________________________________________ SIP Express Router (SER) and Kamailio (OpenSER) - sr-users mailing list sr-users(a)lists.sip-router.org http://lists.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users

Thanks, this helped. It seems I am missing something related to mysql and xmlrpc. » /tmp/my/very/strange/path/sbin/ser -c loading modules under /tmp/my/very/strange/path/lib/ser/modules:/tmp/my/very/strange/path/lib/ser/modules_s 0(9747) ERROR:<core> [sr_module.c:511]: ERROR: load_module: could not find module<db_mysql> in </tmp/my/very/strange/path/lib/ser/modules:/tmp/my/very/strange/path/lib/ser/modules_s> 0(9747) :<core> [cfg.y:3416]: parse error in config file /tmp/my/very/strange/path/etc/ser/ser.cfg, line 95, column 12-21: failed to load module 0(9747) ERROR:<core> [sr_module.c:511]: ERROR: load_module: could not find module<xmlrpc> in </tmp/my/very/strange/path/lib/ser/modules:/tmp/my/very/strange/path/lib/ser/modules_s> 0(9747) :<core> [cfg.y:3416]: parse error in config file /tmp/my/very/strange/path/etc/ser/ser.cfg, line 115, column 12-19: failed to load module ERROR: bad config file (2 errors) And this happens with a standard install: I have not requested anything related to mysql.

As far as things like module paths, they are not affected. You will have to change them manually in kamailio.cfg. However, the good news is that there aren't a whole lot of paths to change; you really only need to change it in kamailio,cfg, and in any init scripts. >>> >>> -- >>> Alex Balashov - Principal >>> Evariste Systems LLC >>> 235 E Ponce de Leon Ave >>> Suite 106 >>> Decatur, GA 30030 >>> Tel: +1-678-954-0670 >>> Fax: +1-404-961-1892 >>> Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/, http://www.alexbalashov.com >>> >>> Daniel Gonzalez&lt;gonvaled(a)gonvaled.com&gt; wrote: >>> >>>> Hello, >>>> >>>> This is my first message to this list. >>>> >>>> I have installed sip-router as follows (my system is Ubuntu 10.04): >>>> >>>> cd /tmp >>>> git clone --depth 1 git://git.sip-router.org/sip-router sip-router >>>> cd sip-router >>>> git checkout -b 3.1 origin/3.1 >>>> local prefix=/tmp/my/very/strange/path >>>> mkdir -p $prefix >>>> sudo apt-get install -y flex >>>> sudo apt-get install -y docbook2x >>>> make proper >>>> make cfg prefix=$prefix >>>> make all prefix=$prefix >>>> make install prefix=$prefix >>>> >>>> And this has worked as expected. >>>> >>>> Now I try to start the daemon: >>>> >>>> $ /tmp/my/very/strange/path/sbin/ser >>>> loading modules under /usr/lib/ser/modules:/usr/lib/ser/modules_s >>>> >>>> What can I do so that my non-standard path is fully recognized by all >>>> sip router tools? >>>> >>>> Thanks, >>>> Daniel Gonzalez >>>> >>>> _______________________________________________ >>>> SIP Express Router (SER) and Kamailio (OpenSER) - sr-users mailing list >>>> sr-users(a)lists.sip-router.org >>>> http://lists.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users >>> _______________________________________________ >>> SIP Express Router (SER) and Kamailio (OpenSER) - sr-users mailing list >>> sr-users(a)lists.sip-router.org >>> http://lists.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users >> _______________________________________________ >> SIP Express Router (SER) and Kamailio (OpenSER) - sr-users mailing list >> sr-users(a)lists.sip-router.org >> http://lists.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users > > -- > Daniel-Constantin Mierla > Kamailio Advanced Training, April 23-26, 2012, Berlin, Germany > http://www.asipto.com/index.php/kamailio-advanced-training/ >
