[Serusers] ser presence question

[Yufei Tao]

Hi

I want to be able to use PUBLISH/SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY for presence 
information of users. So users can update their presence information by 
PUBLISH  and watchers be informed by NOTIFY when there are changes in 
the presence status. I am using pa.so, mysql. Not using XCAP.

My problems are
1. The OK from SER to PUBLISH has no SIP_ETag. Also SER prints out debug 
messages saying:
publish_presentity: no tuple for 01 at sertest.com
I wonder if there's something wrong with my PUBLISH and PIDF so SER is 
not processing it?

2. The watcher subscribes to the presentity 01 at sertest.com. But the 
NOTIFY message the watcher gets always has basic status being closed, 
despite that the presentity has PUBLISHed its status as open. I guess 
this may be due to problem 1 - SER never understood the PUBLISH?


Currently my UA sends PUBLISH message:
PUBLISH sip:01 at sertest.com:5060 SIP/2.0

</presence>

and SER replies with the following msg where there is no SIP-ETag field:

The parts in my ser.cfg that are relevant to SUBSCRIBE and PUBLISH:

modparam("usrloc", "timer_interval", 10)
modparam("auth_db", "calculate_ha1", 1)
modparam("auth_db", "password_column", "password")

    if (method=="SUBSCRIBE") {
            if (!t_newtran()) {
                sl_reply_error();
                break;
            };

            handle_subscription("registrar");
            break;
        }

        if (method=="PUBLISH") {
            if (!t_newtran()) {
               log(1, "newtran error\n");
               sl_reply_error();
            };
            handle_publish("registrar");
            break;
        };

        lookup("aliases");
        if (!uri==myself) {
            append_hf("P-hint: outbound alias\r\n");
            route(1);
