[SR-Users] Error opening Kamailio's FIFO

Mon Dec 6 23:01:58 CET 2010

> This should be a UNIX style path e.g. /tmp/kamailio.fifo The directory

I thought the line   modparam("mi_fifo", "fifo_mode",0666)  set the
permissions on the folder/file.
Also, I tried changing the path to /tmp/kamailio.fifo    that did not work
either
Please change  as below:

> kamctlrc

> ## path to FIFO file
> OSER_FIFO="/tmp/kamailio_fifo"

kamailio.cfg

> # ----- mi_fifo params -----
>modparam("mi_fifo", "fifo_name", "/tmp/kamailio_fifo")
I have also tried this.  Here is what I am getting.

ERROR: Error opening Kamailio's FIFO /tmp/kamailio_fifo
ERROR: Make sure you have the line 'modparam("mi_fifo", "fifo_name",
"/tmp/kamailio_fifo")' in your config
ERROR: and also have loaded the mi_fifo module.

Interesting side note:
After the initial installation and reboot, Kamailio came up and was running
and kamctl moni displayed the correct results.  However after running
"service kamailio restart"  I began getting the error again and have not
been able to clear it.

For anyone else who might not be able to find the old `kamctl lcr`-commands,
the alternatives to some can be found here:
http://www.kamailio.org/docs/modules/3.1.x/modules/lcr.html#id2960364

Being able to reload the lcr didn't solve my problem though - still not
finding any gw when I run next_gw(), so I'm still open for input...

I am getting this error when I try to run kamctl:

ERROR: Error opening Kamailio's FIFO FIFO

ERROR: Make sure you have the line 'modparam("mi_fifo", "fifo_name",
"FIFO")' in your config

ERROR: and also have loaded the mi_fifo module.

I am able to start Kamailio with  Kamailio start

I have poured over all the responses on Google for two days trying to fix
this error.  I have tried everything I know of.

I have tried each example.

kamctlrc

DB Path is correct:

# database path used by dbtext or db_berkeley

DB_PATH="/usr/share/kamailio/dbtext"

## control engine: FIFO or UNIXSOCK

## - default FIFO

CTLENGINE="FIFO"

## path to FIFO file

OSER_FIFO="FIFO"  (I have already tried commenting this out)

kamailio.cfg

loadmodule "mi_fifo.so"

Path to modules is correct:

mpath="modules_k:modules"

#!else

mpath="/usr/lib/kamailio/modules_k/:/usr/lib/kamailio/modules/"

#!endif

# ----- mi_fifo params -----

modparam("mi_fifo", "fifo_name", "/tmp/kamailio.fifo")

modparam("mi_fifo", "fifo_mode",0666)

This is installed on Ubuntu Server 10.10  64 bit Intel .

Can someone please help?

This should be a UNIX style path e.g. /tmp/kamailio.fifo The directory where
the fifo is must be writable by the kamailio user.

Hi,

Please change  as below:

kamctlrc

## path to FIFO file
OSER_FIFO="/tmp/kamailio_fifo"

kamailio.cfg

# ----- mi_fifo params -----
modparam("mi_fifo", "fifo_name", "/tmp/kamailio_fifo")
