This should be a UNIX style path e.g. /tmp/kamailio.fifo The directory

where the fifo is must be writable by the kamailio user. I thought the line modparam("mi_fifo", "fifo_mode",0666) set the permissions on the folder/file. Also, I tried changing the path to /tmp/kamailio.fifo that did not work either Please change as below:

kamctlrc

## path to FIFO file OSER_FIFO="/tmp/kamailio_fifo"

kamailio.cfg

# ----- mi_fifo params ----- modparam("mi_fifo", "fifo_name", "/tmp/kamailio_fifo")

I have also tried this. Here is what I am getting.

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.

Interesting side note: After the initial installation and reboot, Kamailio came up and was running and kamctl moni displayed the correct results. However after running "service kamailio restart" I began getting the error again and have not been able to clear it.

For anyone else who might not be able to find the old `kamctl lcr`-commands, the alternatives to some can be found here: http://www.kamailio.org/docs/modules/3.1.x/modules/lcr.html#id2960364

Being able to reload the lcr didn't solve my problem though - still not finding any gw when I run next_gw(), so I'm still open for input...

But I added it manually to the tables, so maybe I needed to load them to memory ? but ?kamctl lcr reload? has been discontinued, so no loading. Is Siremis necessary as the input tool for lcr and gws?

anders,

read what is new in 3.1 wiki page and lcr manual. ?also, ctl help knows about lcr ctl commands.

I am getting this error when I try to run kamctl:

ERROR: Error opening Kamailio's FIFO FIFO

ERROR: Make sure you have the line 'modparam("mi_fifo", "fifo_name", "FIFO")' in your config

ERROR: and also have loaded the mi_fifo module.

I am able to start Kamailio with Kamailio start

I have poured over all the responses on Google for two days trying to fix this error. I have tried everything I know of.

I have tried each example.

kamctlrc

DB Path is correct:

# database path used by dbtext or db_berkeley

DB_PATH="/usr/share/kamailio/dbtext"

## control engine: FIFO or UNIXSOCK

## - default FIFO

CTLENGINE="FIFO"

## path to FIFO file

OSER_FIFO="FIFO" (I have already tried commenting this out)

kamailio.cfg

loadmodule "mi_fifo.so"

Path to modules is correct:

mpath="modules_k:modules"

#!else

mpath="/usr/lib/kamailio/modules_k/:/usr/lib/kamailio/modules/"

#!endif

# ----- mi_fifo params -----

modparam("mi_fifo", "fifo_name", "/tmp/kamailio.fifo")

modparam("mi_fifo", "fifo_mode",0666)

This is installed on Ubuntu Server 10.10 64 bit Intel .

Can someone please help?
