OpenIMSCore Installation on Ubuntu 9.04

Lets try and keep it as simple as possible.

Please follow the steps below to configure OpenIMSCore on localhost, later steps will be listed to switch between localhost and a specific IP address:

Prerequisites:

a. libxml2 (with development)
b. libmysql (with development)
c. bind9
d. bison
e. flex
f. mysql-server
g. ant
h. make
i. jdk1.5
j. gcc3/4



1. Go to / directory through command prompt and

mkdir opt
cd opt
mkdir OpenIMSCore
cd OpenIMSCore
mkdir ser_ims
mkdir FHoSS

2. Change the permissions for opt folder created:

chmod 777 -R /opt

3. Check out the code for OpenIMSCore

cd /opt/OpenIMSCore/

ser_ims: sudo svn checkout http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/openimscore/ser_ims/trunk ser_ims

FHoSS: sudo http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/openimscore/FHoSS/branches/07_Dynamic_Service_Activation/

4. Configure ser_ims

cd ser_ims
sudo make install-libs all

5. Install FHoSS

cd FHoSS
ant compile deploy
cd ..

6. Mysql dumps

mysql -u root -p < style="font-family: monospace;">
mysql -u root -p < FHoSS/scripts/userdata.sql
mysql -u root -p < ser_ims/cfg/icscf.sql

7. Copy and dump the following

cp ser_ims/cfg/*.cfg .
cp ser_ims/cfg/*.xml .
cp ser_ims/cfg/*.sh .

8. Make following configuration changes:

8.1 Edit /etc/bind/named.conf by adding following zone in it:

zone "open-ims.test" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/open-ims.dnszone";
};

8.2 Copy open-ims.dnszone file to /etc/bind/

sudo cp ser_ims/cfg/open-ims.dnszone etc/bind/

8.3 Edit /etc/resolv.conf

# Generated by NetworkManager
search open-ims.test
domain open-ims.test
nameserver 127.0.0.1

8.4 Edit etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 raziya-laptop
127.0.0.1 open-ims.test mobicents.open-ims.test ue.open-ims.test presence.open-ims.test icscf.open-ims.test scscf.open-ims.test
pcscf.open- ims.test hss.open-ims.test

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

8.5 Restart bind server:

sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 restart

9. Confirm your configuration changes by digging the domain:
dig open-ims.test (It must list 127.0.0.1 in your answer sections)

10. Start all nodes and hss:

10.1 cd opt/OpenIMSCore
10.2 ./pcscf.sh
10.3 ./scscf.sh
10.4 ./icsscf.sh
10.5 cd FHoSS/deploy
10.6 sh startup.sh

Thats about it.

Now switching from localhost to a specific IP edit all the undermentioned files, by replacing all 127.0.0.1 to your specific IP say for eg: 192.168.0.100:

1. edit /etc/resolv.conf

2. edit /etc/hosts

3. edit /etc/bind/open-ims.test

4. restart bind: sudo /edit/init.d/bind9 restart

5. check: dig open-ims.test

6. Change Nodes setting:

6.1 icscf.cfg & icscf.xml (opt/OpenIMSCore/)
6.2 pcscf.cfg & pcscf.xml
6.3 scscf.cfg & scscf.xml

7. Change FHoSS setting

7.1 DiameterPeerHSS.xml (FHoSS/deploy)
7.2 hss.properties (FHoSS/deploy)


Please feel free to comment.

Hi Raziya,
Thanks for your comment.
Its a very good "how-to-guide" to start in Open IMSCore....

In fact, last week I made the same configuration and is running very well over Ubuntu 9.04...Now I'm exploring this fantastic possibilty...there a lot of things to check in "real implementations"...

As the same that you told in your profile description, I'd like a lot Mobicents and IMS and the techologies behind (SLEE, SIP, Diameter etc)....But I came from "Telecom World" (+ 20 years experience)...so, this is a "new world" for me with many many possiblities...

I visited the HP from your company....how is going? More products are comming?

Bye
Roanes

Pls help me out of these problem. Thank you

Buntha said...

PS: Sorry forgot to mentioned. I am using Ubuntu 9.10.

Unknown said...

hello Buntha, u must run p,i,s:cscf from /opt/OpenIMSCore/ directory and for the hss u must move to /opt/OpenIMSCore/FHSS/deploy/ directory good luck

romdhon said...

hai raziya, hai all, how about if we want to use specific IPv6 address? have you try openimscore with specific IPv6 address? would you give me some guide about openimscore in ipv6? thanks..

hi khaziana,
I am doing masters in sweden. i have studied you tutorila on how to install ims.It was very interesting.I have installed openimscore. when i run ./pcscf i got error as

parse error (95,17-18): Can't set module parameter
set_mod_param_regex: No module matching found

i would be thankful for those who help me. In advance thanks

vis said...

Ok.

I have another problem about:::

in seperate 3 terminals i run ./pcscf.sh,scscf,icscf.

from one client if i run a sipp command with the source and destination ip addresses. how can these 3 pcscf,scscf,icscf and hss will communicate. would you plz explain with example?

pradiptasani said...

hello all,
i have run IMS ipv6, while i run ./fhoss.sh, i had some error.

javax.management.malformedobjectnameexception invalid character ':' in value part of property

i mean that java at fhoss doesnt know the character (:) for the ipv6 digit separator.
can u help me?
many thanks..

Unknown said...

Hello,

I have successfully compiled OpenIMS and configured it, but I get this error when trying to run pcscf.sh

/opt/OpenIMSCore/ser_ims/ser: No such file or directory

The compilation and install of ser_ims (make install-libs all) run without errors. Should that file be generated?

@Buntha: Did you manage to solve your missing "ser" file problem?

Thank you.

Lavinia said...

Hi, Voleti.. Have you find a solution to the error you asked about: "FHoSS/deploy/startup.sh: line 15: /bin/java: No such file or directory" ?
Because I have the same problem, and I don't have any idea why..

Unknown said...

Hi! Thank you for the tutorial, big help!

@voleti,@Lavinia: I had the same problem (/bin/java: not found) To solve the issue I had to change my JAVA_HOME variable from /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun to the actual folder containing the stuff:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.26

This solved the problem for me. If you don't have the exact same folder name, change it to your most similar one I guess. Hope it helps!

Sandro said...

has anyone solved the problem with "/opt/OpenIMSCore/ser_ims/ser" folder not found?

Unknown said...

Thank you very much, it was very helpful and clear
