Hello,

some more details about this...

In the past Kamailio used /tmp/ folder to create control fifo/socket files. But it was labeled as security issue by several entities out there (including debian project), because anyone can access the /tmp/ folder.

The standard/recommended place is /var/run/kamailio/ and the latest version was updated to use it in order to close with the security reports -- like with other applications, this folder is created by the init.d script (/etc/init.d/kamailio, but I think that script is not updated automatically if exists). The init.d script is available on source tree, look inside pkg/kamailio/:

- https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/blob/master/pkg/kamailio/deb/debian/kam...

If you run kamailio directly from command line, then you need to create manually /var/run/kamailio

Cheers, Daniel

Hi,

I came across this issue yesterday, and it turned out that the /var/run/kamailio directory did not exist, once I created it, kamailio was able to create the fifo file.

Hope that helps.

After updating kamailio I get: ERROR: Error opening Kamailio's FIFO /var/run/kamailio/kamailio_fifo ERROR: Make sure you have the line 'modparam("mi_fifo", "fifo_name", "/var/run/kamailio/kamailio_fifo")' in your config ERROR: and also have loaded the mi_fifo module. Any solution? Best regards Sven
