Also, I' found this post by Daniel in 2014:

So maybe this is the case for 5.0.3 as well? sqlops functions can't be used in event_route[htable:mod-init] yet?

Hello,

I've tested again, this time including a single sql_pvquery function in the event-route. Kamailio will also exit with "daemonize(): Main process exited before writing to pipe" in this simpler case.

In the documentation, it is stated that: The event route is executed only once, after core and module initialization, <emphasis>but before Kamailio forks any child processes</emphasis>.
Does this mean that I don't have (perhaps) access to pseudovariables during execution of this route? Is this the reason why kamailio exits prematurely?
Thanks,
George

I forgot to mention, I'm using Kamailio 5.0.3 on debian "stretch".

Hello all,

I've been trying to utilise event_route[htable:mod-init] in order to load information from the database into an htable on startup. However, Kamailio exits with an error for no obvious (to me) reason. Here's the log output:

DEBUG: htable [htable.c:226]: child_init(): rank is (-127)

And here's the routing block in kamailio.cfg. What I need to do is get the username for all non-expired contacts in the "location" table, perform a query on another database for each one of them and store the result in an htable:

event_route[htable:mod-init] {

    sql_pvquery("ck", "select username from location where now() <= expires", "$avp(registered_ng)");

    $var(i) = 0;
    while ( $(avp(registered_ng)[$var(i)]) != $null ) {
        sql_pvquery("ca", "select property from tablename where username = $(avp(registered_ng)[$var(i)])", "$var(ng_property)");
        $sht(isnguser=>$var(ng_property)) = 1;
        $var(i) = $var(i) + 1;
        pv_unset("$var(ng_property)");
    }

    pv_unset("$var(i)");
}

Any hints as to what I might be doing wrong? Thanks!

Best regards,
George
