truth be told am not sure what the problem was. Like I mentioned before, there afew steps on the website which weren't mentioned on the book i.e.
vim /etc/default/opensips RUN_OPENSIPS=yes 1. User to run as USER=opensips 1. Group to run as GROUP=opensips 1. Amount of memory to allocate for the running OpenSIPS server (in Mb) MEMORY=128 Change also the file /etc/init.d/opensips: vim /etc/init.d/opensips Replace the line DAEMON=/usr/sbin/opensips to: DAEMON=/usr/local/sbin/opensips Give execution permission to the file: chmod +x /etc/init.d/opensips create the opensips user: adduser opensips Now create the dir: mkdir /var/run/opensips vim /usr/local/etc/opensips/opensipsctlrc PID_FILE=/var/run/opensips/opensips.pid I think that the last couple of steps were what made the difference because I kept on getting the 'opensips_pid file is missing' error when trying to start/shut down opensips On Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 10:57 AM, Bogdan-Andrei Iancu < [email protected]> wrote: > out of curiosity, what was the problem ? > > Regards, > Bogdan > > James Mbuthia wrote: > > Hi Bogdan, > > > > Thanks for your reply. > > > > > > I got it to work by following the instructions > > on http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Opensips+Installation,+How+to. > I've > > been using the book, 'Building telephony systems with opensips' > > however the installation procedure set out in the book seems to miss > > out some key steps. e.g. The installation procedure on the above > > website seems to be more accurate and will hopefully save people alot > > of time and headache. > > > > james > > > > > > On Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 10:42 AM, Bogdan-Andrei Iancu > > <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > > > Hi James, > > > > Your opensips fails to start (see the signal 2 (INT) received by > > opensips). > > > > It is strange as no ERROR is printed.....Please set debug=6 and try > to > > start again - and post the whole output here. > > > > Regards, > > Bogdan > > > > James Mbuthia wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > > > Am trying to setup opensips on a centos system and I keep on > > running > > > to the same problem and i have run out of ideas.
