[OpenSIPS-Users] unable to start opensips due to FIFO

Hi Deon,

The problem was (as the error said "ERROR:mi_fifo:mi_mod_init: no fifo 
configured") that you did not configure in opensips the name of the FIFO 
file to be used.
 See "fifo_name" param:
       http://www.opensips.org/html/docs/modules/1.6.x/mi_fifo.html#id227220

Regards,
Bogdan
