Hello List:

I have able to to compile ser from source.
I also have setup ser database.

My problem is:

[root at croaker ~]# service ser start
                                                           [  OK  ]
[root at croaker ~]# service ser status
ser dead but subsys locked
##############################

This issue might have discussed before, but I was not able to find
*Search* in archive.

Thanks
