Re: [sr-dev] Install scripts and /var/run/kamailio

The /var/run/kamailio is not created by debian installation process, because /var/run is temporary and content deleted on each restart. It was like that but changed when discovered, because even installed from deb, after the restart of the system, kamailio won't start. Same happens if done with 'make install', it will work up to next system restart. Right now the /var/run/kamailio is created by the init.d script /etc/init.d/kamailio, which seems to be the common across other linux daemons. On debian, the init.d script can be deployed and /var/run/kamailio/ created by running: make install-initd-debian There is an alternative for centos: make install-initd-centos Just noticed it doesn't create the folder, patch will follow (although it might be created by user add command). I will add a dedicated Makefile target to create the folder, but a complete procedure will require adding the user and changing the owner of the folder, if kamailio is started under that specific user. Among ideas I played with: - create the folder from kamailio source at startup, if it doesn't exist and enough privileges -- this will require to start kamailio initially as root
