Hi,

Below the structure of the properties table :

mysql> show create table properties;

Hello,

can you give the structure of the table properties (show create table ...)?

Cheers,

Daniel

Hi,

A second update for people who started to look at this issue.

I have identified the real cause of the problem by looking more in the kamailio log with the debug traces. I discover that it is related to the load of the properties table in the htable.

I have the following entries in my mysql db :

+-------+----------------+---------------------------------------------------------+------------+----------+

| id | key_name | key_value | value_type | key_type |

+-------+----------------+---------------------------------------------------------+------------+----------+

| 0 | VERSION | 120104-1734 | 0 | 0 |

| 1 | mmm-retry | 408=Y;502=Y;503=Y | 0 | 0 |

| 2 | mgcf-retry | 408=Y;502=Y;503=Y | 0 | 0 |

| 3 | max-mmm-retry | 2 | 0 | 0 |

| 4 | max-mgcf-retry | 2 | 0 | 0 |

| 5 | target-uri | mgcf=10.10.10.10;mmm-legacy=20.20.20.10;mmm=20.20.20.20 | 0 | 0 |

| 6 | pike-status | 503 Service Overload | 0 | 0 |

| 7 | mgcf-path | 99 | 0 | 0 |

| 16 | mmm-nodeid | OPMMMS1VSE01=1;OPMMMS1VSE02=2 | 0 | 0 |

| 17 | mmm-node-path | 1=1;2=2 | 0 | 0 |

+-------+----------------+---------------------------------------------------------+------------+----------+

In the kamailio.cfg, the << modparam("htable", "htable", "propertiesHash=>size=4;dbtable=properties;") >> command causes the load of the above table in the htable.

In the log we can see, that the load is done in the alphabetic order of the key_name and it fails to load the last entry “VERSION” :

Mar 21 10:25:28 localhost /usr/sbin/kamailio[5784]: DEBUG: <core> [db_val.c:169]: db_str2val(): converting BLOB [VERSION]

Mar 21 10:25:28 localhost /usr/sbin/kamailio[5784]: ERROR: htable [ht_db.c:276]: ht_db_load_table(): key type must be string (type=6)

If I add a new entry named “WWWWW”, then the failure occurs on this entry that is the last alphabetic entry :

| 10000 | WWWWW | toto | 0 | 0 |

Mar 21 10:28:45 localhost /usr/sbin/kamailio[5817]: DEBUG: <core> [db_val.c:169]: db_str2val(): converting BLOB [WWWWW]

Mar 21 10:28:45 localhost /usr/sbin/kamailio[5817]: ERROR: htable [ht_db.c:276]: ht_db_load_table(): key type must be string (type=6)

Attached the kamailio log for each test.

I hope this help.

Have anyone an idea of this problem ?

Hi,

There was a mistake in the file attached ; the short kamailio.cfg file (that makes kamailio to start) was not the correct one; attached the correct one.

Have anyone an idea of this problem ?

Objet : RE: ht_db_load_table(): key type must be string (type=6)

Hi,

To figure out what causes this issue, I work to shorten my kamailio.cfg to contains loadmodule/modparam instructions for the htable module only.

My first attempt (see kamailio.cfg.ok) shows that the problem doesn’t occur.

In the second attempt (see kamailio.cfg.ko) I add instructions previously removed from the original .cfg file. I have determined that, depending on the instructions that follows the “modparam("htable", "fetch_rows", 1000)” line, the “key type must be string (type=6)” error occurs or not.

In this ko file, if I comment out the following sequence, the error occurs :

modparam("htable", "fetch_rows", 1000)

#!!ifdef FIXED_ROUTING

#modparam("htable", "htable", "mbxrangeHash=>size=4;dbtable=mbxrange;")

#!!else

#modparam("htable", "htable", "abpqHash=>size=12;dbtable=abpq;")

#modparam("htable", "htable", "zabpqHash=>size=12;dbtable=zabpq;")

#!!endif

modparam("htable", "htable", "propertiesHash=>size=4;dbtable=properties;")

I hope my explanation is clearn and there are people who can help me on this problem that causes kamailio to not start.

Hi,

Now the kamailio installation is completed, I try to start kamailio but got an error on a modparam line.

By looking at the kamailio.cfg (with debug mode) it looks like the instruction is not correct :

modparam("htable", "fetch_rows", 1000)

The documentation shows that fetch_rows is an integer :

fetch_rows (integer)

How many rows to fetch at once from database.

Default value is 100.

Example 1.12. Set fetch_rows parameter

...

modparam("htable", "fetch_rows", 1000)

So how to explain the first error.

Have you any thoughts on this case ?
