Hello!
I'm reading through a couple ser tutorials, and they're both suggesting to install mysql and to use the mysql.so module.
But I'm confused - is mysql necessary or not?
The default ser.conf seems to suggest that it's an option; but the serctl usage text shows '*' next to each action that requires a mysql pwd... including adding/deleting users.
How would I add/delete users if not using mysql?
Thanks!
Corey
Technically, you don't need any local repository of users for SER to function. In such a case, you wouldn't have user authentication, you'd just essentially let people log onto SER and dial through it. It would be a simple setup, and you wouldn't really have local users... you'd just let ANYone register.
This sort of setup, of course, has some inherent issues and is probably not what you're looking for.
The other way of setting up ser requires some sort of local repository of user information. This could be stored in MySQL, Radius, PostgreSQL, etc. In this situation, MySQL isn't necessary as much as SOME local database of users is necessary.
Serctl, however, I think is only equipped to handle MySQL user info, so in THAT sense, it requires MySQL for several of its functions. Serctl is just a glorified script for handling some basic functions. If you want to find out everything it's doing, look it over and find out which tables it's poking around in and what values it's adding/looking for, etc.

Terrible question: Is mediaproxy better than rtp or STUN server for NAT problem ???
Radius Authentication work fine with Mediaproxy, STUN and RTP ? In Mediaproxy Server, radius auth supported only in non-free version (7.000,00 euro) !
My work is:
Private Network for more than 1000 users Public SER SERVER Public Radius+MySQL Public Patton MediaGW
Please, answer ! Thanks Antonello

If users are all in private network stun can create hairpin problem but you should be able to run ser without stun, mediaproxy or rtpproxy.
If you have external clients and need to run some kind of proxy, surf onsip.org for details on mediaproxy vs rtpproxy
I would say mediaproxy..have little logical reason except that so far no NAT issues with any client

I would say rtpproxy as I use it and have had not problems (other than of my own doing...) ;) - also it can handle many more calls. Seriously - mediaproxy is probably a nicer solution as you can see in-progress calls etc. It would be very nice to add this to rtpproxy (which it looks that portaone may have done already as they say in thier docs that they can show active channels now). I wish they would also release this bit of functionality...

Well, that depends. How many calls do you want to run simultaneously? 100 Calls on Mediaproxy can eat 100% of a 3.6 GHz Xeon CPU. 100 Calls with rtpproxy only eats 2-3%. Its simple as to why. C vs Python.
