HOWTO and the INSTALL document on <a href="http://iptel.org/">http://iptel.org</a>.
Dan’s only mentioned uncommenting </span></font>/usr/lib/ser/modules/mysql.so
where the INSTALL document mentions loadmodule "/usr/local/lib/ser/modules/auth.so"
as well. The reality is, there is a third line namely loadmodule "/usr/local/lib/ser/modules/auth_db.so".
Regardless, I tried all variations.</p>
