<br>I fixed the problem but I would like somebody to shed some light into this issue.<br><br>I noticed that when I run kamailio w/o telling where to load the kamailio.cfg file is when it failed. So I went to the kamctl script and notice that in the section where "kamctl start" happens the variable $STARTOPTIONS was empty. I went to the etc/kamailio/kamctlrc, un-commented the line with $STARTOPTIONS and made it like this:<br><br><div>
<div> <br>STARTOPTIONS=" -f /usr/local/kamailio-3.1/etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg" -> this points to the config file which is in a custom path<br><br>So, it seems that when one installs kamailio in a directory other than the default path with the prefix option ['make prefix="new path here" all' and 'make prefix="new path here" install'] you have to explicitly tell it somehow to load the config file from somewhere else. Or I did not do it correctly. Can somebody please confirm?.<br>I thought that the initialization scripts would also take care of that. I have installed kamailio 1.4.3 1.5.0, 1.5.2 using the prefix option at 'make' time several times and never had this issue.<br><br>Again, these were my main steps:<br><br> mkdir -p /usr/local/src/kamailio-3.1.0<br>cd /usr/local/src/kamailio-3.1.0<br><br>git clone --depth 1 git://git.sip-router.org/sip-router kamailio<br>cd kamailio<br>git checkout -b 3.1 origin/3.1<br><br>mkdir /usr/local/kamailio-3.1<br><br>make FLAVOUR=kamailio cfg<br><br>vi modules.lst to exclude db_mysql db_odbc from modules.lst <br><br>make PREFIX="/usr/local/kamailio-3.1/" all<br>make PREFIX="/usr/local/kamailio-3.1/" install<br>
<br>then I executed /usr/local/kamailio-3.1/sbin/kamdbctl create to create the DB and tables.<br><br></div></div><br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: fborot@hotmail.com<br>To: sr-users@lists.sip-router.org<br>Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2011 18:10:38 -0400<br>Subject: Re: [SR-Users] kamailio fails to start with kamctl start<br><br>
