[Serusers] error starting ser daemon with persistency support

Thu Jan 22 20:04:13 CET 2004

Thank you again for the help. We modified the ser.cfg file and made some
progress. The ser server finally started, but when we monitor it using
"serctl moni" we noticed the following messages:

...

Does that have anything to do with the message from the ser debug output:

 0(0) DEBUG: setting SO_RCVBUF; set=65536,verify=65536
 0(0) DEBUG: udp_init: trying SO_RCVBUF: 131072

 1(686) DEBUG: FIFO created @ /tmp/ser_fifo
 1(686) DEBUG: fifo /tmp/ser_fifo opened, mode=432
686) DEBUG: init_mod_child (-1): tm

Why does it fail to open the fifo?

We also tried to test the ser by using a SIP user agent called "sip-communicator"
(https://sip-communicator.dev.java.net/) which is a Java-base sip client. It
does not contain a field in the configuration file to set the password. When we
start the sip-communicator, it tried to register with our sip server, but failed
to create a register transaction because our sip server is not responding. What
happened to our sip server?

Thanks again.
