Are you using the user or group flags when starting Kamailio?

kamailio -u kamailio -g kamailio -m 64 -M 16

Hello Richard,

Thank you for your reply. If you noticed the steps that I used to generate certificates, I had already given 700 permission to the "certs" directory.


  1.
mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/kamailio/certs
  2.
cd /usr/local/etc/kamailio/certs
  3.
chmod 700 /usr/local/etc/kamailio/certs


[root@rtpengine kamailio]# pwd

/usr/local/etc/kamailio

[root@rtpengine kamailio]#

[root@rtpengine kamailio]# ls -ll

drwx------ 2 root root   150 Oct 22 17:48 certs


[root@rtpengine kamailio]# ls -ll certs/

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1992 Oct 22 17:48 ca-cert.pem

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   41 Oct 22 17:48 ca-cert.srl

-rw------- 1 root root 3243 Oct 22 17:48 ca-key.pem

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 Oct 22 17:48 crl.pem

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1870 Oct 22 17:48 kamailio-cert.pem

-rw------- 1 root root 3243 Oct 22 17:48 kamailio-key.pem

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1675 Oct 22 17:48 kamailio-req.pem


Please advise me, is there any other part that I missed? Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,
Chandramouli.

from the error it looks like a permissions problem probably the 700 on the directory
