[Serusers] need help please, v0.9.0 problems

[Noel Paul Evangelista]

hi guys,
i need help please.  very new on SER.
i just installed v0.9.0(ser-0.9.0_src.tar) using "make
prefix=/usr/local all" then "make prefix=/usr/local
install".  looks like everything was installed. 
ser.cfg is /usr/local/etc/ser and executables are in
/usr/local/sbin.  the modules are in their correct
directory as shown in the ser.cfg.  
my problem is when i do a "serctl start" i get this
problem:
[root at SIPserver sbin]# serctl start
Starting SER : PID file /var/run/ser.pid does not
exist -- SER start failed

secondly, if i do a "serctl moni" i get this message:
[root at SIPserver sbin]# serctl moni
Error opening ser's FIFO /tmp/ser_fifo
Make sure you have line fifo=/tmp/ser_fifo in your
config
i am sure that the default ser.cfg has the line
fifo=/tmp/ser_fifo.

thirdly, if i do a "ser start" i get this message but
it looks like ser is not still running:
[root at SIPserver sbin]# ser start

             udp: 127.0.0.1 [127.0.0.1]:5060

             udp: SIPserver:5060

[root at SIPserver sbin]#
