After further investigation, it looks as though this is actually caused by
changing the default passwords for the openser and openserro users. We tried
changing the passwords in openserctlrc to correspond with the mysql user
password changes. We granted the rights accordingly in mysql as well. We also
found /usr/local/lib/openser/openserctl/openserctl.sqlbase and
/usr/local/sbin/openser_mysql.sh that referenced the passwords and we changed
them accordingly there and still had no luck. We could not find any other
files that seemed to reference the actual passwords. So we then removed the
database and tried a fresh install and got the same result. So again the
database was removed and this time we altered
/usr/local/lib/openser/openserctl/openserctl.sqlbase and
/usr/local/sbin/openser_mysql.sh to reflect the passwords we wanted to use, and
ran openser_mysql.sh create. This resulted in the same error as before. So,
we set all the files back to default with the default passwords, removed all
mysql database info and again ran operser_mysql.sh create. Then ran openserctl
start again:
# openserctl start
database engine 'MYSQL' loaded
Control engine 'FIFO' loaded
Starting OpenSER : \E[37;33mINFO: started (pid: 3947)
#
Sweet! We then stopped openser and went and changed the passwords again in
mysql and in openserctlrc and got the same error as before. It is impossible
to change the passwords for openser and openserro to something other than the
default! Crazy! We do not want to run with the default passwords...
Any ideas?
We are using OpenBSD 4.0 i386, openSER-1.1.1-tls, mysql5.0.
Thanks,
Ben

Subject: openSER on OpenBSD: cannot start openser
Hello all,
I've just installed openSER on OpenBSD and I'm now trying to get openSER to
start and am having trouble. I try openserctl start and here's what i get:
# openserctl start
database engine 'MYSQL' loaded
Control engine 'FIFO' loaded
Starting OpenSER :
\E[37;31mERROR: PID file /var/run/openser.pid does not exist -- OpenSER
start failed
#
After a bunch of reading it seems as if openserctl is now obsolete (???) and
that you should use the init script. I can't find reference for anyone running
it like this on OpenBSD. I have found openser.init file in /<src
directory>/packaging/gentoo and /<src directory>/packaging/rpm, but i am not
sure how to use them on OpenBSD (I'm rather new to OpenBSD... I'm used to the
rpm style of things.)
I've searched and searched but can't find any info... So. anybody out there
using openSER on OpenBSD? Or anybody know howto (or whereto find the info to)
set up the start script for openSER on OpenBSD?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Ben
