Hi Iqbal:

I wouldn't bet it's related to duplicate aliases, since the table is empty in our case. The error comes up even when there are no users registered.

Any other hints (by the developers maybe?) would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Socrates.

I had a simliar error, cant recall what the fix was, but I think it was something to do with an existing alias of the name, in the previos version it allowed same alias to goto multiple contacts , now it doesnt...but dont quote me on this...unless someone else can confirm this

Hi,

We have been running SER 0.8.14-2, reliably so far. We've recently added SERWEB, but with little luck. When a user responds to an e-mail to confirm his/her registration we get the following on SER+SERWEB's console:

fifo_add_contact(): expires == 0, giving up ul_add(): Error while adding contact "XXXX" in table 'aliases'

Any idea what might be wrong?

Thanks,

it will be there if u have started mysql with logging option i.e --log=/var/log/mysqld.log

Where should that log file be? I've got nothing related to mysql under /var/log. Any hints appreciated.

Just to repeat, for anyone else who might have a clue: I'm using SER 0.8.14-2 from 27 July 2004. It is rel_0_8_14 from CVS, which seems to be stable. My SERWEB is the latest from the CVS.

This issue of SERWEB failing to register/authenticate users has come up by others in the past, but I didn't see any helpful fix out here.

Please let me know of any suggestions you may have.

Socrates.
