8) Now edit the opensips default file change RUN_OPENSIPS to yes and made necessary changes to that file.

RUN_OPENSIPS=yes

10) Make sure Daemon is located in given Path

chmod +x /etc/init.d/opensips

12) Add opensips user

useradd opensips

13) Now add the opensips to startup applications, so opensips will automatically start when you logging in.

update-rc.d opensips defaults 99

14) That’s it, Now restart the OPENSIPS server using below command.
