Hello,

In fact, the issue is still there.
I explain:

I had added this line to the config file to set xml-rpc's listening port:
modparam("mi-xmlrpc", "port", 8000)
And that was when kamailio couldn't start. I removed the said line, and tried to restart kamailio. I got this in return:
~$ sudo /etc/init.d/kamailio start

Listening on
             udp: 127.0.0.1 [127.0.0.1]:5065
             udp: 192.168.0.99 [192.168.0.99]:5065
             tcp: 127.0.0.1 [127.0.0.1]:5065
             tcp: 192.168.0.99 [192.168.0.99]:5065
Aliases:
             tcp: ims-desktop.local:5065
             tcp: localhost:5065
             udp: ims-desktop.local:5065
             udp: localhost:5065

I thought everything was ok, but it wasn't. I tried netstat -anp to see if the server was really listenning upon port 5065, it wasn't. Then i tried kamctl moni and there was appearently a problem:

~$ sudo kamctl moni

ERROR: Error opening Kamailio's FIFO /tmp/kamailio_fifo
ERROR: Make sure you have the line 'modparam("mi_fifo", "fifo_name", "/tmp/kamailio_fifo")' in your config
ERROR: and also have loaded the mi_fifo module.

I allowed syslog_error in the config file, and tried to restart kamailio. And here's what i got:

~$ sudo /etc/init.d/kamailio start

I tried to log on MySQL database as root user, and i got exactly the same error.
I can't understand why it says "Access denied for user 'openser'@'localhost' (using password: YES)" even when i log on as root, and i don't undestand the meaning of the last line "Mar 11 11:02:21 [11475] NOTICE:presence:destroy: destroy module ... " (may i recall that i want to use Kamailio as a presence server).

Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers,
Sara

If you reported an issue and solved it, then it is nice to close the discussion thread by saying what was wrong and how was solved. Others coming later and reading mailing list archive can learn from your experience.

Thanks,

Hello,

I've installed kamailio 1.4.3 (without tls) on ubuntu by
following the provided INSTALL guide. I want to use it as a
presence server but i've got some problems starting it.

"kamctl start" returns nothing.

check the syslog file for errors. There you can get some hint.

Alternatively, set log_stderror=yes in your config file and run
"kamailio" (/usr/sbin/kamailio or /usr/local/sbin/kamailio if
installed from sources) and see what you get on the screen.

Cheers,
Daniel

and "kamctl moni" returns "Error opening kamailio's FIFO
/tmp/kamailio_fifo"
I've checked in my .cfg file and the 'loadmodule' and
'modparam' lines related to mi-fifo module are uncommented.
I've checked also the mi-fifo module was installed indeed
(mi_fifo.so appears in /usr/local/lib/kamailio/modules directory).

Could anyone help please?
