I have a Debian Linux system running woody. Installing SER using dpkg -i ser_0.8.12_i386.deb. Package appears to have unpacked ok. The auto restart failed and I got the following message. Couldn't find anything in the manuals for this. Do I have too little memory in my machine. Currently I have 32 M of memory and using an old Pentium machine.
Selecting previously deselected package ser. (Reading database ... 54054 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking ser (from ser_0.8.12_i386.deb) ... Setting up ser (0.8.12) ... Restarting ser: serToo much shared memory demanded: 33554432 invoke-rc.d: initscript ser, action "restart" failed.
ser failed to (re)start. Perhaps your configuration requires additional modules (e.g. ser-mysql-module, ser-jabber-module or ser-radius-modules). Next try to install any additional ser modules you might need and then (re)start ser by executing the command '/etc/init.d/ser start|restart'.

By default ser will try to allocate 32Mb of memory to use as shared memory and another 1Mb per process (as "local" memory). Try starting it with -m shared_mem_size_in_mb. E.g.: ser -m 16 (or add -m 16 to your /etc/init.d script).

Tried that in a variety of versions ie ser -m 16 8 4, they result in the same response ie 'Too much shared memory demanded!

Do you use an older kernel (2.2.x)? (older kernels don't support mmaping /dev/zero, so intializing the shared memory will fail on them).
From the ISSUES file:
Desc: ser won't run on linux kernels <2.4 (fails with EINVAL when intializing the shared memory) BugId: n/a Ser version: 0.8.8, 0.8.9, 0.8.10 Workaround: Upgrade to a 2.4.* kernel (older kernels don't support shared mmaping of /dev/zero ) or recompile ser with SYSV shm instead of mmap (remove -DSHM_MMAP from Makefile.defs) CVS status: n/a
Andrei
P.S.: another work arroung might be to create a large file, of your desired shared mem. size and mmap this file instead of /dev/zero (never tried this, I don't have any machine with 2.2.x now)
Tks Andrei, I read this issue yesterday and tks for pointing this out. Sorry Im a bit of newbie to Linux so don't know which kernel version I have. Got a couple of other postings asking how I know which version of the kernel Im using. FYI I have Debian woody installed and Ive spent several hours yesterday looking through the documentation to try to find it. Maybe Im looking in the wrong place.
I may just try the recompile of ser but then I need to work out how to do that too.
Im enjoying this steep learning curve and it is steep.
Best regards and tks Martin

I think woody comes by default with 2.2. However there are debian packages for woody with 2.4 kernels (apt-cache search kernel-image), so it should be pretty easy to upgrade.
I may just try the recompile of ser but then I need to work out how to do that too.

Ok got the upgrade to 2.4.18 386 and SER runs also got a couple of clients to register successfully. Now trying to get the rest of it loaded.
Any helpful hints on where/how I can control the max_connections of mysql. I got it running used apt to install mysql.
Tks again.

in your my.cnf file use this variable (for example to allow 1000): set-variable = max_connections = 1000
Tks again.

Tks. Got through to point 6 of the section on adding my sql ser.
I edited the ser.cfg file see the attached file. However I got 2 errors reported as per extract below and sorry I cant find them in the file.
hattie:/etc/init.d# ser restart ERROR: bad config file (2 errors) hattie:/etc/init.d#
Note that I don't have DNS server on my network so Im using my internal ip address, I assume that hence the entry for the ip address is acceptable. My hosts file does include the host name. Is this ok. Ill be doing a forward on my firewall from my ip address to my internal ip address of the server.
Im a little concerned that I didn't do step 3 completely. Ie creation of MySQL tables. I used the /usr/sbin/ser_mysql.sh creation process. I entered a blank password for root, I entered ser as the domain: I got a creating database ... message, then got another "Enter password:" request, entered blank and then returned to the command line.
You've been very patient with your help tks Martin

Look into syslog (/var/log/messages or /var/log/daemon.log), ser reports the number of the line on which it fails.
