FreeSWITCH package for pfSense 1.2.1 and 2.0 released. PBX or Proxy
-
Although I am not sure, it doesn't seem as if anyone's aware of the issues in the recent several 2.0AA snapshots, with installing FreeSwitch. Each time I've tried to install it, it hangs at:
Configuring package components…
Additional files... libcurl.so.5At this point, the whole web-gui hangs, reboot results in errors regarding curl (specifically: PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/20060613/curl.so' - /usr/local/lib/libcurl.so.5: invalid file format in Unknown on line 0), nothing else works correctly until removal of both of these files and a reload of the 2.0AA full update...
Not sure if this is best posted here, or on the 2.0AA Problems support section, but it seems to be the only package having this sort of trouble...
edit: for the addition of error details...

pfsense 2.0 package installer seems to have a problem with requesting remote files using libcurl. So for those that really want it I have created a manual install. That is php code that can be run from Diagnostics -> Command -> PHP Execute.
The manual install php code is attached to this forum post but you have to be logged into the forum to see it.

Mcrane is SO far beyond a Hero Member!! The code, attached to his previous post, worked wonders getting FS running on the newest snap of 2.0AA.
What kinda' steaks do ya' like with yer' brew, mcrane? We'll make a BBQ of it!!

Some more questions.
Is anyone using CallForwarding? I'm not sure it's working for me. That is to say, it is certainly not working but I'm not sure if it is the phone (Grandstream 2020 and Linksys 962) or if I am doing something wrong. Is it possible to enable with a code like "*72"
Also - DISA - is there something precanned to get this to work or should I just be looking at the freeswitch.org examples?
This example on freeswitch wiki looks good to me but I haven't tried it yet:
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Examples_disa.js
Thanks for any opinions.

When I've done it found that on the Internal profile if aggressive nat detection is enabled it messes up call forwarding to other extensions in some situations. Even with it disabled certain situations call forwarding to an extension has directed the call directly to voice mail. You could troubleshoot the problem using /usr/local/freeswitch/bin/./fs_cli and try to get additional help from #freeswitch IRC channel. Or I have also created a followme.js (simultaneous or in succession) file that could be used to direct calls to more than one number. I'm planning on extending it soon so that you can dial from an extension and get numbers that are chosen through the phone's dial pad. At this moment the file would have to manually be changed. http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Examples_followme.js

I wrote that example DISA you linked to so my opinion about it is likely biased. Tonight (technically morning now) I updated the DISA example with a few improvements, improved the instructions on the FreeSWITCH wiki, and then added a link to the recordings that are needed for the DISA script.
Hope that helps.

"Hope that helps" he says.
You did pretty much everything other than sign in and configure it for me!
I'll let you know how I make out.
Thanks!

Real n00b questions here but I can't get x-lite to register, all I get is:
Registration error: 408 - Request Timeout
I've got this in X-Lite:
Display name: FreeSwitch
User name: 2001
Password: 2001
Authorization user name: 2001
Domain: 10.x.x.1 (pfSense box)Checked Register with domain
What I've done on the pfSense box is:
Set domain var to 10.x.x.1
Added extension 2001 with above info
Changed Default Area Code (not trying to go to an external service, just internal between clients right now)
The only dialplan is RecordingsEverything under status tab says Disconnected, goodbye….
Service says it's running.
I've no idea what to do at this point.
-
By default FreeSWITCH binds to the WAN IP so if you make xlite register to the WAN IP then it will work fine. If your WAN uses DHCP then I suggest setting up Dynamic DNS inside pfsense and then set the domain variable on the 'Var' tab. Restart FreeSWITCH and point xlite to the domain name.
-
I tried that and what I get is the same error and this in the log:
Connection Closed
Connection Open from 69.x.x.x:44856
Session complete, waiting for childrenThat IP is my WAN connection. I have a multi-wan setup with a WAN2 connection and port based routing going out. Could that be messing with it or the rules?
-
If you have Multi-WAN on pfSense then you need to set up a static route to force all voip traffic to the correct WAN IP. To see which one it is registered to you need look at the Status page near the top. There you will see the IP address that FreeSWITCH is bound to.
-
I think something else must be broken then. All the status page has is:
sofia status
Disconnected, goodbye.
See you at ClueCon! http://www.cluecon.com/sofia status profile internal
Disconnected, goodbye.
See you at ClueCon! http://www.cluecon.com/sofia status profile external
Disconnected, goodbye.
See you at ClueCon! http://www.cluecon.com/status
Disconnected, goodbye.
See you at ClueCon! http://www.cluecon.com/Then show channels and calls with the same message, backup/restore and logs.
The logs are consistent with my WAN IP on the "connection open from" lines, so I assume that's correct.
How will a static route only redirect voip traffic, wouldn't I need an outbound rule for that?
Sorry to be a pain. But thanks for helping!
-
That normally means FreeSWITCH is not started go to Status -> Services and start FreeSWITCH. If it is started then it is likely getting confused by the multi-WAN.
-
Must be confused as it says it's started on the services page. Any thoughts on how to unconfuse it? :)
-
I did a reinstall of the package and now get status, tried to connect to the external IP same error, changer ther var to my interal interface IP and still get it too. It still shows my external IP all over the place though….

If you want FreeSWITCH to bind to an IP other than the WAN then set 'local_ip_v4' at the top of the 'Vars' tab (vars.xml). For this example the LAN IP is 192.168.0.1.
<x-pre-process cmd="set" data="local_ip_v4=192.168.0.1">That would force FreeSWITCH to bind to the LAN. If you do that then you would want to make your extension (phones/softphones) register using the LAN IP address. These notes are also found in the wiki at: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/FreeSWITCH</x-pre-process>

good day for all.
in public tab for incoming call, have some way to ignore the value in destination_number argument and go direct to action transfer ? If no, have some argument like "*" (everything that come is a valid condition) ?thanks.
-
On the 'Public' tab to create a default path for inbound call routing simply set a 'destination_number' that will never have a match then set an 'anti-action' and now you have a default public route. If you use more than one entry in the 'Public' tab then set a high 'Order' number so that the default route is the last to be processed.
-
I tested pfSense 2.0 from a build in the last day or two and FreeSWITCH will install through the package manager now.

Been a while since I posted however there are a couple new versions available:
Version 8.4.1 (approximately)
Changes as of the first of the week.
Added * to all feature codes a few examples voicemail *4000, conference rooms *3001, call park *5900, call park pickup *5901. This allows extensions, and auto attendant more room by default extensions can now be 100-999 and / or 1000-1999.Added DISA (Direct Inward System Access) this version allows you to call in put in a pin code call internally or externally as desired. Disabled by default. Make sure to change the admin pin code on the 'Settings' tab before enabling it on the 'Dialplan' tab.
Created a 'Features' tab and moved Music on Hold, Auto Attendant (IVR), Recordings, Modules and the new DISA feature. This frees up some tab space and provides more room to add more features.
Version 8.4.4
Moved php files from /usr/local/www/freeswitch to /usr/local/www/packages/freeswitch. I have built several packages in the past 6 months and felt like the /usr/local/www/packages/ seperates the packages cleanly from the pfSense code. I believe I have now moved all my packages that use php code to this directory.
Ordered the lists in a logical order for Dialplan (order number), Extensions (ext number), Gateways (gateway name), Public (order number).
-
Just downloaded 8.4.5 and I can't seem to enable the DISA functionality; is it actually live yet? I've changed my PIN, but when I go to the dialplan tab I don't see any disa entries there; just the recordings dialplan and my outgoing gateways. I also don't see any disa javascript or php pages extracted anywhere on the system.
