FreeSWITCH Status for 2.1
-
The FreeSWITCH package's required version is set to 3.2.1, probably as a way to disable it since it wasn't working last I knew.

Ok, thanks Jimp.
Does anyone know if there has been any movement on getting this package working? I know that it's possible to add the package manually, but it would be nice to have the menu functionality.

I don't know. I split this off into its own threads so maybe you'll get more relevant input.
AFAIK, there was more to it than just FreeSWITCH, it also wanted Apache and a bunch of other things.

Mcrane has this guide up on his site.  Looks like he is working on an updated package for pfsense from what Ive read on there…  Id love to be able to attend the class he's advertising but can't swing it this time...

I haven't tried this yet. I am playing with FusionPBX 3.0 though and haven't gotten it to work quite yet...

Well, as far as FreeSwitch itself goes:
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Installation_Guide#FreeBSD
which would be the better approach, because the pre-compiled thing used here:
http://wiki.fusionpbx.com/index.php?title=PfSense_Install
doesn't support fax reception, and also it's not a very friendly way to go forward to rely on a specific compiled binary.
So from what one can glean from this, Apache isn't a requirement, at least not in pfSense 2.x++, however SQLite is required. Also, since FusionPBX is now at 3.x, following the directions exactly would just result in an outdated system anyway…
Source either here:

or here
http://code.google.com/p/fusionpbx/downloads/listThere also seems to be a FreeBSD port, given this snippet of info:

Here's an overview of a FreeBSD build/install, which also may contain useful info:

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
I will attempt to experiment with this over the weekend and report back on how things go.

Thanks for all that rcfa!

Thank me, if you actually get it to work :D
Let me know, if you do. It's on my to-do list to play with this, but right now, I'm a bit under water with other things…
...but I'd love to have my answering machine/fax running on pfSense at some time, and be able to reroute my calls, etc.
Not a high-volume application, but maybe a high-sophistication one, because I'm not the typical telco user... -
does anybody know who the maintainer of the freeswitch package is?
i would like to help get it in shape to run on pfsense 2.x
-
The maintainer name and email are in pkg_config.8.xml on Github https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense-packages/blob/master/pkg_config.8.xml This appears to be mcrane on the forum, but there is no forum activity for about a year. Maybe you can email him at the gmail address in the file and see what the status is.
-
i sent him a email… no reply...
:(
-
Shame about the maintainer :(
I got FreeSWITCH to successfully install. I'm still unsure about configuring it in my setup although I assume I need to configure FreeSWITCH to bind to my LAN interface (not the WAN)
-
Jeremy,
you made any progress on getting it running?
im in the same situation , need it running on the LAN interface , NOT the wan.
look forward to your reply.
-
How funny … I just sat down to consider this I saw your post ...
I'm hoping to look at this tonight from a fresh perspective - I'll let you know if I have any luck.

Hi,
Was there any status update on this?
I'm also looking for a FreeSwitch package for 2.1….
Cheers,
Victor
