I am using the site: http://www.kamailio.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/install:kamailio-3.1.x-from-git to load up Kamailio on my ppc using Leopard X. I managed to figure out the mysql issue and got it to install, but now there are some variances to the instruction from the stated install site and I am kind of lost. If I could get some help with the following

• "7. Create MySQL database" This whole section seems confusing. It doesn't say what I am suppose

to look for. I am sure what it says is all you need to do, but I am not sure if it is completed correctly or not.

The order of what things need to be done may have been confusing, I just changed that in the wiki. First, you need to change the config file to your DB engine needs; then, you run the script to create the database. Please take a look at the section again and tell me if there are still things left which make the section hard to understand.

• "8. Edit configuration file" This section could use more specific information as to how to set up

the configuration file.

• "9. The init.d script" This section says I am suppose to put "/kamailio.init/" in the

directory "//etc/init.d/", then I am suppose chmod after it is copied. First of, I don't have that directory, am I suppose to create it or is it suppose to be created already? Also, it says to "/adduser/" with some options. Every time I try, I get the error message that it doesn't recognize the "/adduser/" command.

The points you have mentioned are all Linux-/Unix-specific and probably cannot be transferred easily to the Mac-kind-of-Unix.

Let me ask you this: What are you trying to achieve exactly? Do you want to just give Kamailio a try and play around with it? Or do you intend to run it productively on a Mac, possibly a server? If the former is the case, you don't really need to set up the init daemon script or add a specific user. In fact, you don't require MySQL either as Kamailio can run from memory alone. When it comes to just giving things a try, I suggest that as it saves you a lot of setup work.

If the latter is the case though, you'll need to figure out how to set up a Unix-like service properly under a Mac (or wait and hope for someone else to reply on the mailing list). I suppose there aren't too many folks out there running Kamailio on a Mac server (why would anyone run a Mac server anyway? ;) ), so you may be on your own.

Cheers,
