[Serusers] Alias assignment problem

[George KAPELIOS]

Jan,

Looking in the Admin's Guide, I found the following script:


Example 5. Configuration of Use of Aliases

if (!uri==myself) { # request not for our domain...
  route(1); # go somewhere else, where outbound requests are processed
  break;
};
# the request is for our domain -- process registrations first
if (method=="REGISTER") { route(3); break; };

# look now, if there is an alias in the "aliases" table; don't care
# about return value: whether there is some or not, move ahead then
lookup("aliases");

# there may be aliases which translate to other domain and for which
# local processing is not appropriate; check again, if after the
# alias translation, the request is still for us
if (!uri==myself) { route(1); break; };

# continue with processing for our domain...
...


I have attached it (as it is) in the ser.cfg file, but when I'm trying
to run the ser I' m getting ERROR: bad config file.

What I' am doing wrong ?

George

  The configuration script of the server.

  It is created in the database by default. You just need to put
  lookup("aliases") command in your script. Otherwise it makes no sense
  to create the aliases because the wouldn't be used anyway.

  Sorry, it is called serctl in the distribution.
