[Serusers] SER does not start with MySQL

[Vo, Tony]

Hi,
SER will not start if I am to configure SER to run using MySQL module.  I followed the instructions in the HowTo guides.  I currently have MySQL version 4.0.16 installed and is running.  The mysql.so module is in the correct directory as specified in the config file.  When I run the 'serctl start' script, I would get only this response;

[root at localhost modules]# serctl start

Starting SER : cat: /var/run/ser.pid: No such file or directory
started pid()

Here's an excerpt from my config file (ser.cfg).  Thanks for your advice(s);
