Hi All, I've got a problem with Kamailio 3.3.2-1.1 on CentOS 6.3 with locally postgresql 8.4.13-1.el6_3 libraries, connected to a remote postgresql91-9.1.6-1PGDP.rhel6 server The presence module tries to insert a record in the presentity table, with some xml in the body column. But the body value in the postgresql table is not represented as a string '<?xml ...etc' But encodes as '\x3c3f786d6c2076657273696f6e3d27312e302720656e636f64696e673d275554462...etc' This gives problems when the presense module is trying to send out a notify based on the value in the database. With debugging, this gives the error: Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found x3c3f786d6c2076657273696f6e3d27312e302720656e636f64696e673d275554462d38273f3e3c The \x in front of the hex encodes string is not properly interpreted by postgresql or kamailio. The body column of the table presentity is a bytea column, and I believe postgresql 9 outputs these bytea columns a bit differently then postgresql 8. When I try to run the sql statement: insert into presentity (domain,username,event,etag,sender,body,received_time,expires ) values ('newsip.lifexs.nl','00086','presence','a.1352107949.18632.27.0','','<?xml version=''1.0'' encoding=''UTF-',1343534532,1345213723) On the postgresql 9.1 server locally, I still get the '\x3c3f786d6c... etc' value in the database. The bytea_output setting in postgresql 9 is now standard set to 'hex' in stead of escape. I've changed the bytea_output setting in postgresql.conf to 'escape', and then the presence is working without any issues. So maybe the database module of postgresql has to be changed to pick up these bytea encodings properly? Because i think kamailio should work correctly with the default postgresql settings.
