Hey Charles, No, it's a machine with both ser and mysql running. I don't quite understand... making the change suggested by Ezequiel for FOREVER_REL did fix it, but I can only guess this is because the original value was too large for mysql to store. Does anyone happen to know (before I start delving into the database) where the FOREVER_REL value is stored in the db so I can check the params of that field? On a bizarre other turn in events (which I may have to repost as a new subject if nobody notices this one...) since upgrading to mysql4 (this may not be the reason, but it certainly seems that way...) extensions no longer ring! Or they ring only in one direction... usually what happens is the phone moves straight to the "connected" state, but the called extension never rings. This has only started happening now... it was working perfectly before. Any help would be very very much appreciated!

Charles ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Bath <mailto:dave@fuuz.com> To: serusers(a)lists.iptel.org Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2004 20:40 Subject: [Serusers] Aliasing problem Hey guys, I have been playing with SER for a few days now, and apart from having to rebuild all the RPMs to get it working on FC1 with mysql4 (mysql4 is apparently not officially supported in FC1 ?!) everything was smooth and dandy. Really enjoying using such a powerful and flexible product. However, I have one problem, and I've done my best to trawl all the groups and lists, and debug it myself and I cannot work out what is going on - perhaps I just don't understand how it works properly. I am trying to set numerical aliases so that incoming routing can be handled more easily by a PSTN gateway. I am trying the command: Serctl alias add 1000 sip:admin@<sipserver> I get a reply that the alias has been added (once a previous message on this list pointed out that I needed to add lookup("aliases"); to ser.cfg)! The problem is the mysql table is still empty - although serctl says that the alias has been added, it doesn't seem to have been. When I try and call "1000" I get a 404 not found, but calling "admin" works fine. Does anyone have any ideas?! Also, on a slight side note, I was assuming that the aliases are reboot-safe... they're stored in the database and will get reloaded if ser is rebooted. Is this the case by default or does an option need to be enabled? Sorry for the long post. Many thanks to everyone who has worked on this, and it would be fantastic to get this last bit sorted out.
