[OpenSIPS-Users] Opensips pid problem

[James Mbuthia]

truth be told am not sure what the problem was. Like I mentioned before,
there afew steps on the website which weren't mentioned on the book i.e.

vim /etc/default/opensips
RUN_OPENSIPS=yes

   1. User to run as

USER=opensips

   1. Group to run as

GROUP=opensips

   1. Amount of memory to allocate for the running OpenSIPS server (in Mb)

MEMORY=128

Change also the file /etc/init.d/opensips:

vim /etc/init.d/opensips

Replace the line DAEMON=/usr/sbin/opensips to:
DAEMON=/usr/local/sbin/opensips

Give execution permission to the file:
chmod +x /etc/init.d/opensips

create the opensips user:
adduser opensips

Now create the dir:
mkdir /var/run/opensips

vim /usr/local/etc/opensips/opensipsctlrc
PID_FILE=/var/run/opensips/opensips.pid


I think that the last couple of steps were what made the difference because
I kept on getting the 'opensips_pid file is missing' error when trying to
start/shut down opensips
