[Muhammad]: better use latest version of kamailio, i.e. 1.4.x instead of
older versions. If you insist on using older version them you can use mpath
or loadpath kamailio.cfg to select which module you want to use, i.e SER
module or Kamailio module.  If both are specified in mpath or loadpath then
first one will be used.

http://kamailio.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/core-cookbook:3.1.x#loadpath

2. I was advised to us macros from dprint.h to see LM_DBG and LM_ERR

[Muhammad]: the syntax of LM_ERR and LM_DBG is similar to printf, so if you
know how to use standard C method printf, you should understand how these
will work. In case you do not understand printf syntax, i strongly
recommend NOT to touch kamailio's native code (the .c or .h files).

3. Third, will these logs also print in /var/log/messages in debian linux

[Muhammad]: Yes, you can see log messages under log facility defined in
kamailio.cfg with "log_facility".

http://kamailio.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/core-cookbook:3.1.x#log_facility

However, do note that logs printed in syslog will depend on log level
defined with "debug" global variable,

http://kamailio.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/core-cookbook:3.1.x#debug

Therefore, if for example, log level is set to L_INFO then logs of type
L_DBG won't print to syslog.

4. What changes should be made in kamailio.cfg to see these logs, i.e log

[Muhammad]: set "debug" global config variable to appropriate value as
explained above.
