Forget about the rpm release - the updated stable release (nat enhancements, bugfixes, ...) is only in CVS.

IMPORTANT: uninstall all ser-related rpms before building from source

get it from cvs as explained on: http://iptel.org/ser/cvs/

and then: make all make install

hi klaus,

first, thx for helping out. i am running the "ser-0.8.12-0.i386.rpm" version of SER on redhat 9 released by iptel.org

i am a newbie in linux.... so if u could instruct me on how to locate the nathelper module then perhaps i can find out the more about the version in detail.

which version of ser do you use? It's for sure in unstable and stable from cvs.

yes, you need a cvs client to download from cvs.

i'm sure cvs is included in your linux distribution, just install the rpms and you will be fine (or use: apt-get install cvs if you are a debian user).

btw: you also need developement tools installed on your PC (gcc ...)

hi Klaus,

thx,

one more question regarding cvs, do i need to install some "cvs client" in order to execute the following commands?

set CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.berlios.de:/cvsroot/ser export CVSROOT

cvs login

i tried to run the commands but nothing happened.

hi klaus and all,

with ur guidance i have accomplished to download source code from cvs, after which i executed "make all" & "make install"..... and then i was lost again.... didn't know how to get the server running. tried sip commands such as "serctl start" or "ser", but all did not work.

start ser with: # /usr/local/sbin/ser

attached is my startup script for ser. copy it into the /etc/init.d directory. start ser using /etc/init.d/ser start stop ser using /etc/init.d/ser stop

btw: there are problems with redhat, which I couldn't solve. ser does not start up automatically if the system boots up. It works fine with me on debian and suse, but not on redhat.

since linux is like an extra-terrestrial object to me (and i am all alone on this project) and SER is still the best solution for me, is there a "nat_uac_test" working rpm package out there that can ease the pain of installation for me?

no way, the rpms are pretty old. use cvs (and remove all ser rpms)

klaus

i am running redhat9, i have tried package "ser-0.8.12-0.i386.rpm" for redhat7.3, 8, 9 (downloaded from berlios ftp site). none of them understands "nat_uac_test".
