[Serusers] ser-0.9.6: modules/postgres bugreport & patch
by Alexandre Snarskii 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

Hi! I'm running ser-0.9.6, on FreeBSD 6.1-stable, database backend is postgresql version 8.1.3. Today I got errors in logfiles, saying: messages.2.bz2:May 29 14:35:03 <XXX> /usr/local/sbin/ser[51448]: ERROR:avpops:dbrow2avp: dbrow contains NULL fields The similar problem reported in: http://lists.iptel.org/pipermail/serusers/2005-May/019681.html with much more detailed description of error, database contents and config samples. Patch is trivial, and looks more like a fix to copy'n'paste error: in mysql/val.c function str2val states: if (!_s) { memset(_v, 0, sizeof(db_val_t)); VAL_TYPE(_v) = _t; VAL_NULL(_v) = 1; return 0; } VAL_NULL(_v) = 0; and the last line mentions that 'well, that's value is not NULL'. In postgresql/db_val.c, line 182, function str2valp, the same statement is the: if (!_s) { DLOG("str2valp", "got a null value"); VAL_TYPE(_v) = _t; VAL_NULL(_v) = 1; return 0; } without explicit notification that this is not-NULL value. More than, nowhere else in this function VAL_NULL(_v) not set to 0. So, if a value _v.val contained anyting but 0 at the function start, resulting value will be threated as NULL despite the fact, that _s is NOT NULL. Patch is obvious, just add VAL_NULL(_v)=0; after cited block (line 188) and everyting will be ok. At least for me it's ok for some hours :)

[Serusers] SER Nokia CANCEL Problem
by Abdul Qadir 07 May '08

07 May '08

Hi , I tried to call from one nokia sip (E61 and other models )phone to another nokia sip phone. The call works fine. The problem comes only when I call from Phone A to Phone B and then immediately cancel the call(from Phone A). The Phone A will hangup the call as it sent CANCEL but the SER will ignore this CANCEL and still send INVITE to Phone B resulting in a ghost call situation. I tried to capture a log of message and found that Phone A "CANCEL" message is received on SER even before any provisional response from Phone B. Therefor SER doesnot relay this CANCEL request to Phone B. I even checked RFC which clearly says that UAC should not send CANCEL untill it receives any provisional response. I talked to Nokia expert and they said the 100 Trying message from your server is considered as provisional response, therefor behaviour of client is absolutely correct. Is there any way I can stop 100 Trying message and still run statefull SER, so that I can verify what nokia said. Any ideas suggestions are welcome. Thanking you all in advance.

[OpenSER-Users] Fix up source address.
by Alex Balashov 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

Greetings, I have a strange problem using OpenSER 1.3.x with nathelper. Two ethernet interfaces: eth0 = 192.168.0.0/24 eth1 = outside.ip/29 For some reason, no matter what I do to mangle the requests with nathelper's functions, the packet is *always* sent out of eth1 with the *source address* of the machine's eth0. Obviously, the response from the far-end SIP peer never gets back. The packet does physically go over eth1, I know that much from packet captures. I don't even see how this is possible; when OpenSER issues a packet, shouldn't it originate according to the machine's routing table, take the most specific route, and consequently, adopt the right source address? What gives? I have OpenSER 'listening' on both interfaces, and have tried both on and off with this setting.

[OpenSER-Users] INVITE, exec_dset(), and BYE
by Juan Carlos Castro y Castro 09 Jan '08

09 Jan '08

I have a scenario in which an OpenSER machine distributes load among several Asterisk machines for outgoing PSTN. I use an external program which I call through exec_dset() to select which server a call goes to. I use record_route(). All calls are completed OK, but when I dial from some SIP user-agents and hang up from the caller side, OpenSER gets crazy and doesn't know where to route the BYE to. Here's the reason: Good scenario: - I make a call to <5551234@mydomain> - OpenSER calls exec_dset, which turns it into <providercode#5551234@chosenserver> - Call is answered - I hang up - My UA sends a BYE like this: "BYE sip:providercode#5551234@chosenserver SIP/2.0" - I get an OK back, all is well. (Sometimes the # in the uri above is sent as %23, but it works either way) Bad scenario: - I make a call to <5551234@mydomain> - OpenSER calls exec_dset, which turns it into <providercode#5551234@chosenserver> - Call is answered - I hang up - My UA sends a BYE like this: "BYE sip:5551234@mydomain SIP/2.0" - My openser.cfg doesn't know how to handle that and I get a "Loop Detected" back. The destination never gets a hangup signal. Is the second UA from the "bad" scenario disrespecting the RFC? Do I have any recourse to route a BYE that comes like that to the right Asterisk server? Thanks, Juan
