which ser version are you using? Latest version (>0.9.7) the fifo interface has changed and this module is not working anymore...<br><br>with 0.9.6 the command you are using is available but with higher versions you should:
<br> <br>loadmodule "/usr/local/lib/ser/modules/ctl.so"<br>loadmodule "/usr/local/lib/ser/modules/fifo.so"<br><br># listen on the "standard" fifo for backward compatibility<br>modparam("ctl", "fifo", "fifo:/tmp/ser_fifo")
<br><br>hope it's the version issue, otherwise post more information about your problem and someone might help you,<br><br>Samuel.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">2007/12/18, Strassburger, Patrick <<a href="mailto:Patrick.Strassburger@colt.net" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
