Sorry, this is my problem: have included the kamctlrc, kamailio.cfg, and modus.lst files if that helps, run create command, not sure of path for chrooted directory in kamctlrc file so I have not been able to create my initial database. I know that is holding up creation of MySQL database. can you assist, sent contribution to this email address, could not find any other. thanks in advance, joe zimmer +1 703-957-0186 USA root@telephonepros:~# /usr/local/sbin/kamdbctl create /usr/local/etc/kamailio//kamctlrc: line 13: =/path/to/chrooted/directory: No such file or directory MySQL password for root: INFO: test server charset /usr/local/lib/kamailio//kamctl/kamdbctl.mysql: line 105: mysql: command not found /usr/local/lib/kamailio//kamctl/kamdbctl.mysql: line 106: mysql: command not found Usage: grep [OPTION]...
