Hi!
Please always CC to the mailingslist, so others may help you too.
mysql: I always used the mysql rpms from redhat. they are working fine. You need at least the server-rpm, and the client-rpm. (I think you would also need the mysql-devel rpms if you want to build ser from sources.)
I don't know if mysqladmin is intalled from the mysql server rpm, but you may try 'find -name mysqladmin' from the / directoy to find it.
regards, Klaus

Hi Klaus,
Thanks for an impressively quick answer. I'll certainly try to do it your way. The funny thing is that /var/log/messages did show that ser started OK, but it clearly 'went away' after startup. I didn't check process status though. I'll do that next time.
Do you know anything about MySQL? I downloaded the server RPM from mysql.com last night and it installed without any comments, but afterward I couldn't find the admin script 'mysqladmin' anywhere. Everything else but that. Odd ...
I'll keep you posted on my progress if you like.
Thanks again.

I found yours interesting. However, I ran into an obstacle, possibly a problem/bug. The details:
System: Red Hat 7.3 Personal on a 200 MHz Intel 'Ser' distr.: 0.8.11 RPM-package for RH 7.3 Clients using Windows Messenger Ser.cfg: As distributed but with option
<alias="matell5.no">
added (in front of the 'check_via' option. Works fine. km@matell5.no and others with the same domain can sign in, contact with other clients established etc.
Then I add another domain to 'alias' as in <alias="matell5.no" "f19-21.no">. 'ser' starts OK ('ser start' reports [OK] and /var/log/messages says 'ser' is listening on all IP adresses and both aliases are listed and "ser startup successful"). However, attempted sign-in from clients (with the same domain name
as earlier)
result in ICMP Destination Unreachable/Port Unreachable (port = 5060) and an attempt to stop 'ser' ('ser stop') reports
[Failed] and
/var/log/messages says "ser shutdown unsuccessful".
ICMP unreachable means, that ser is not running. this may be
caused by an
error in the config file or due to some other reason. watch
the logging during
startup on another console, as root type: tail -f /var/log/messages
I use the alias command just before the module loading and
it works fine for
me, also with several domains, e.g:
fifo="/tmp/ser_fifo" alias=obelix.ict.tuwien.ac.at alias=xyz.ict.tuwien.ac.at
# ------------------ module loading
I have also tried using two lines for the 'alias'
parameters (<alias
"matell5.no" \n alias "f19-21.no"> with the same results.
Then I remove one 'alias' to return to the successful 'ser.cfg' with only one 'alias', and I get the same IMCP message (Port Unreachable).
Then I reboot the computer (no further changes to
'ser.cfg') and the
clients can sign in without a hitch.
sometimes ser does not start (reported several times on the
mailinglist,
mostly at redhat systems). you can easy verify if ser is running by: ps -A
Then you should see a lot of ser processes running.
regards, klaus
The 'ser' Admin's Guide chapter 6.1 'Core Options'
clearly indicates
that the 'alias' option can take several domain names.
(It actually
says hostnames. I tried 'mytikas.matell5.no' which is name of the machine 'ser' is running on but this caused the same erroneous result as above. Changed it back to just the domain name and I could sign in normally again.
If I am doing something wrong here (or not doing
something I should
be doing) I would appreciate if you would tell me. I am
relatively
new to Linux and Linux applications and sometimes find the documentation difficult to understand.
If you want me to supply more information like logs etc.
let me know
(if this really is a bug you probably will). I'll be happy to do more testing/experimenting.
I am not running mysql. I'll try that next.
Thanks. (Hope I am sending this to the right place.)
