I guess there should have been a standalone directory called
openser1.0.1 after you untar the .tar.gz file using tar -xzvf. In that
directory itself there is file called Makefile in which the mysql module
is excluded by default.
Did you also check the logs in /var/log/messages about what is the
error. Those messages are helpful to debug.
You dont always need to go to sbin to start openser, there is a
command called openserctl start to start it.
I have a suggestion for you. Please visit onsip.org and register on
that site. They have very good getting started documents which will help
you.
You can then structure your openser.cfg the way you want.

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

daemon?
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
