Re: [SR-Users] URL problems connecting to external (Azure) MySQL database

Hi again, Reviewing the source for the parsing function it looks like it won't be possible. https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/blob/5295a4f5eac08c1bb100bf554a995833c… We see that once it hits the @, if it hasn't hit a : or / before it will assume everything to the left of the @ is the username and then it will start to parse everything to the right of the @ as the hostname. In your case the host will be: clouddb and the port will be: password(a)clouddb.mysql.database.azure.com Have you checked the docs under section 6?: 6. Reading configuration from my.cnf Not sure how that is implemented to fetch the data but that might perhaps be a way to get around the parsing structure in the mysql module. Also, feel free to submit a patch for the above parsing function if possible. // Samuel ________________________________ From: sr-users &lt;sr-users-bounces(a)lists.kamailio.org&gt; on behalf of Floimair Florian &lt;f.floimair(a)commend.com&gt; Sent: Monday, November 27, 2017 4:47:52 PM To: Kamailio (SER) - Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [SR-Users] URL problems connecting to external (Azure) MySQL database Thanks for your quick reply!

I’m having troubles connecting Kamailio to an external MySQL database (on Microsoft Azure Cloud). Initially creating the database with kamctl worked fine, but accessing it at runtime via db_url fails. A somewhat unusual thing about the connection to a MySQL database on Azure is that the username contains an ‘@’ character. This leads me to believe that this case is somewhat unhandled when parsing the database URI. Trying to connect to something like modparam("sipcapture", "db_url", "mysql://user@clouddb:password@clouddb.mysql.database.azure.com/db") Results in errors starting Kamailio ERROR: db_mysql [km_my_con.c:124]: db_mysql_new_connection(): driver error: Unknown MySQL server host 'clouddb' (-2) ERROR: <core> [db.c:318]: db_do_init2(): could not add connection to the pool ERROR: sipcapture [sipcapture.c:1146]: child_init(): unable to connect to database [mysql://user@clouddb:password@clouddb.mysql.database.azure.com/db] from capture_mode param. Is there a trick on how to achieve a connection in this case like some sort of escape character probably? Mit freundlichen Grüßen Florian Floimair (IMS) 1568
