Dear All,

I could use a little help finalizing my proxy setup. I'm new to the ser enviorment.

Here are the steps I have taken to try and get ser, serweb and vm to work;

1. Installed a copy of Fedora Core. 2. Downloaded a copy of 0.8.12 directory from the berlios ftp directory. 4. I have installed ser from the rpm's for Fedora/ 4. I have configured and got working a copy of ser using ser.cfg example and the guide on the iptel site. 5. I have configured SerWeb and I can login to the system as a user and as admin. I have put my test users in the voicemail group. 6. I have downloaded sems from the 0.8.12/contribs and have compiled this. I can do a service start sems and this loads. I assume you need sems for the answer machine function?

From what I can understand from the documentation I need to have two copies

of ser running, and to forward calls that are now answered to the voicemail server. Could some one please give me a snippet? and tell me where to insert this in my ser.cfg please?

1. I have installed ser.cfg and run my ser server on 5060. My x-ten lite can call my Cisco 7960 and vice versa. The proxy works to forward calls to the PSTN via my Asterisk box.

2. I have used the example of voicemail.cfg that comes with ser in the tar.gz to create a voicemail.cfg. The only part that does not work is;

if (len_gt( max_len )) { sl_send_reply("513", "Message too big"); break; };

In the debug I get;

0(3305) parse error (48,14-21): syntax error 0(3305) parse error (48,22-23): bad arguments

I have rem'd this out, will deal with this bit later, although I would be extremely grateful if anyone could tell me what the problem is?

So I can now run two copies of ser and everything checks out in the debug mode;

Can someone post a copy of a ser.cfg with a forward to 2nd ser to get vm working ? I have included a copy of my ser.cfg and voicemail.cfg. As always I appreciate the help.

Here is a copy of my voicemail.cfg
