Hello Kiran,

not sure was exactly your requirements are, but i think the answer is yes. 
Look for details to the presence related module dokumentation in the openser 
wiki.

The error messages should be easy to understand. Just add the appropriate fifo 
configuration to you config file. Look at the example openser.cfg in the 
source or in the openser wiki for the configuration syntax.

Make sure that you load a database engine, e.g. mysql. :-) You find the syntax 
to do this again in the example config file. You can use the 
openser_mysqldb.sh script to setup the necessary tables.
