[Users] Re: how to run openser through monit daemon?

[Padmaja RV]

Hi Jayesh,
                  Thank you so much for the reply.  I have downloaded the version openser-1.0.1 from cvs. I thought that is a stable release and no changes are going to be made to it. Do i have to again revert to the tar.gx version? Also please look at what happened when i previously installed the .tar.gz version of openser before doing the cvs


1. downloaded openser-1.0.1-linux_i386.tar.gz version as root.
2. It is now under / (the root directory). after that i did unzip and untar on that. 
3. the file and modules are loaded into the subdirectories of the /usr directory.I could not anywhere find a standalone directory called openser-1.0.1 with the directory sip-server in it. also there is no makefile here.... (All these i see when i download it thru CVS in the /usr/local/src directory.)
4. I tried to see through the list for the module mysql.so but i could not find it....and so for uri_db module also. these modules are present when i install openser thru cvs
5. i did not do any make on it. I thought it is precompiled version and will automatically get installed when i do the untar and unzip. please correct me if the tar version also has to go thru make
6. i ran openser through /usr/local/sbin/openser start. and it ran successfully... it showd the tcp and udp ports on  which it is running..i could register my sip UA without authentication.
7. then i wanted to set it up for mysql support. i edited the config file and uncommented the necessary modules and tried to create the openser databse in mysql. here it failed stating ha1 calculation failed.. also it states there is no mysql.so module which is true. 

Please let me know if I have made any mistakes in the installation process.... I am new to openser.. now if i want to revert to .tar.gz version, will all the openser modules and config files from the cvs be replaced by the tar.gz version? or will there be duplicate entries left? 

Thanks again
Regards,
Padmaja

    Hi padmaja,
    Running openser from cvs would not solve your problem. Openser from cvs is the development version which will be released after final testing is done.
    To be safe, its better if you use .tar.gz file to install. For enabling mysql, go to the openser directory and you'll find a makefile. In the makefile there is a line exclude_modules?= somewhere around line no.49. From there just remove mysql and recompile it again.
    You can start openser using openserctl start from the command line.
    To check for some errors you can set debug=9 in the openser.cfg file.
    Normally the logs are stored into /var/log/messages. You can check for errors in this file.

    Hi!
    there is something I need to mention here with respect to openser not 
    working.....

    Initially I had openser installed from .tar.gz and i could run it from 
    /usr/local/sbin/openser. It worked fine that way without any authentication. 
    I could see local registration of my sip UAs with the openser being 
    successful. then i set up mysql. It too started successfulyy thru webmin. 
    next I tried to create the openser database in mysql from 
    /usr/sbin/openser_mysql.sh create. It prompted me for the root password of 
    mysql, the domain name and then failed stating that the Ha1 calculation 
    failed. also when i tried to modify the openser.cfg file to support mysql 
    database i found that there is no mysql.so module in the 
    /usr/local/lib/openser/modules/ path.

    Because of the above problems, I tried installing openser from CVS and here 
    all the modules and configuration files are present in the respective 
    locations as mentioned in the web link for installing openser. I could even 
    create the openser database structures in mysql. i tried uncommenting the 
    needed modules for database suppport. now when i try to run openser thru 
    monit, there is absolutely no response and openser does not look like 
    running............

    I am a newbie at openser......please help me which way i should run 
    openser.....

    thanks and regards,
    Padmaja
