<br>
I have installed ser in Ubuntu Karmic by means of Synaptic without any problems or errors during the installation.<br>
But before starting to configure the ser.cfg, I decided firstly to try the configuration by default and I got this error (I only uncommented the "log_stderror=yes"):<br>
<br>

It seems that it starts ok but suddenly finds an error and stops.<br>
However if I run:<br>

It only complains about the ser.pid file.<br>
<br>
I am a little bit confused. Where is the problem?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
