hi all, i mailed earlier regarding this. this is really urgent.
i have just installed SER (version 0.8.10) along with the MySql support. i made entries for 2 users using "serctl add" command and am able to place a call between them using MSN messenger. i want to know what accounting support is available using MySql. what settings need to be done? are any records generated and placed in the database? how do i access these records? in ser.cfg i have loaded modules acc.so and mysql.so.
pls help asap.
Their exist no support for storing accounting information in the MySQL database. You can use the acc module, which then will log informations about
call starting and ending into syslog. But currently your are on your own to accumulate this informations from syslog.
If you would be so kind to search the mailing list archives yourself you will find that we are currently talking to one users about publishing their solution. And in the future will also provide a solution.

it depends how you define "working". the problem currently is that there is no easy way to know if a bye, for example, was sent by a local or foreign user. before that is information is available, any accounting is difficult to make to "work".
if you mean a version of radius accounting that doesn't crash and produces "records", i'm sure that such a module will be included in the next release.

The same as for mysql -- currently unsupported, if you are able to use it without our support, be our guest. Both RADIUS and mysql are being worked on and will be part of the next release.
