[SR-Users] Using Sip-Router Logging & Register Problem Problem

Hi  Daniel/ Sammy ,
I made the changes in config as suggested (i.e. move the define variables
at the top of the file rather then in the middle)
Regarding setting debug=3 => I am setting WITH_DEBUG in the config file so
based on processing of this symbol I believe debug=4 is set.#

For the log facility in the kamailio.cfg I have set the
option log_facility=LOG_LOCAL1

& in my syslog.cfg (attached again) I have set the following
local1.* -/var/log/kamailio

but still I dont see any logs in this location when I start kamailio

I can see the kamailio process - (in total there are 19 processes here is
the root process all other are child processes of this process)
kamailio  3375     1  0 08:06 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/sbin/kamailio -P
/var/run/kamailio.pid -m 32 -M 4 -u kamailio -g kamailio

I can also see kamailio starting to listen on port 5060 port on the local
machine on both UDP & TCP interfaces

I am using an xlite phone on windows to attempt to register - on my
Kamailio VM (using UDP) I started a tcpdump to see if I am receiving the
Register messages - I can see the register packets coming to the Kamailio
hosts from the phone - but I dont see any responses from Kamailio.

Also as there are no logs I dont know what is going wrong.
Regards,
Faisal
