      try to start asterisk on console, maybe you need to unselect some modules.

        What would be the command to start the Asterisk daemon from a shell…wasn't quite certain and "/etc/init.d/asterisk start" returned a command not found.

            Commenting out some of the modules did it, the daemon started and looks like it's running via the GUI now. Wonder if it was because the default extensions.conf and sip.conf contained references to demo interfaces that I didn't have? There's no telephony cards on the board…yet. SIP phones still aren't showing up but I can have a go at those now that I know the daemon is running. Thanks again Marcelloc.

              I downgraded to 2.0.1 just to install this!  :)

              Is there any tutorial on how to initially set it up?  (I am coming from Windows and Axon PBX)

              ..or asterisk-gui?  Trying that out first.

              EDIT:

              I fetched http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/All/asterisk-gui-2.0.4_4.tbz

              Tried to add it but I get:

              pkg_add: could not find package openldap-client-2.4.23 !
              pkg_add: could not find package perl-5.10.1_1 !
              pkg_add: could not find package libltdl-2.2.6b !
              pkg_add: could not find package wget-1.12_1 !
              pkg_add: could not find package libgcrypt-1.4.5_1 !
              pkg_add: could not find package postgresql-client-8.2.17_1 !

              EDIT 2:

              fetched the missing packages then pkg_add asterisk-gui-2.0.4_4.tbz it said it installed in /usr/local and gave me a url to go to but not working.

                Asterisk gui need some file changes to work and I did not had time to finish it.

                This current version can be configured only on console/files.

                  I changed manager.conf and http.conf:

                  manager.conf:

                  enabled=yes
                  webenabled=yes
                  [admin]
                  secret = password
                  read = all
                  write = all

                  http.conf:

                  enabled=yes
                  enablestatic=yes

                  And got it to load and login, but I get an alert:

                  The GUI does not have necessary privileges.
                  Please check the manager permissions for the user !

                  Thanks for your time!!!

                    these are few steps I did to get asterisk-gui working.
                    I'm not sure if it is all remain steps.

                    mkdir /var/lib
                    mkdir /etc/dahdi/
                    
                    ln -s /usr/local/etc/asterisk /etc/asterisk
                    ln -s /usr/local/share/asterisk /var/lib/asterisk
                    
                    /var/lib/asterisk/gui_backups
                    /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/imageupdate
                    
                    chown -R asterisk /var/lib/asterisk
                    chown -R asterisk /usr/local/etc/asterisk
                    chown -R asterisk /etc/dahdi
                    
                    /var/lib/asterisk/static_html/config
                    /var/lib/asterisk/scripts
                    
                    /usr/local/etc/rc.d/asterisk/restart
                     asterisk -rx "core set debug 10"
                    asterisk -rx "core set verbose 10"

                      Cool, will try that.  That's how you got it to load up, but you weren't able to get it to write/update the .conf files, correct?

                      EDIT:

                      Ok, got it to show up, had to edit index.js to include asterisk/1.8 but it won't save any settings  :-/

                        Hello,
                        what a great package!
                        But…
                        I'm on nanobsd platform and something seems incorrect :
                        the file /usr/local/etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf contain the line "astdbdir => /tmp" ==> this is ok
                        But on the gui when i go to status=>asterisk, i see this :

                        * Directories
                          -------------
                          Configuration file:          
                          Configuration directory:     /usr/local/etc/asterisk
                          Module directory:            /usr/local/lib/asterisk/modules
                          Spool directory:             /var/spool/asterisk
                          Log directory:               /var/log/asterisk
                          Run/Sockets directory:       /var/run/asterisk
                          PID file:                    /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.pid
                          VarLib directory:            /usr/local/share/asterisk
                          Data directory:              /usr/local/share/asterisk
                          ASTDB:                       /var/db/asterisk/astdb
                          IAX2 Keys directory:         /usr/local/share/asterisk/keys
                          AGI Scripts directory:       /usr/local/share/asterisk/agi-bin
                        

                        astdb is /var/db/asterisk/astdb ==> it's bad!
                        It seems that the file /usr/local/etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf is not the one used when asterisk is started.
                        And when i look at /usr/local/etc/rc.d/asterisk , i don't see anything that say to use this .conf file (like a -C switch ==> -C /usr/local/etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf in a command_args variable for example)
                        Do i have missed something?
                        Because i have a lot of "Unable to open Asterisk database '/var/db/asterisk/astdb': No such file or directory" in my log…

                        It would also be nice to have the "module show" command or even better the possibility to type commands (like with the  fivn asterisk management  "command" menu)
                        Thank you

                          try to start asterisk on foreground to check what is not loading or missing.

                            thanks,

                            stop an restart the service solve the problem (without change to config files)…
                            I will try to see why it was wrong and if the problem reappears...

                              When I restarted my pfSense the gui was no longer available and I am also getting the db warning…

                              I guess I had created the /var/db/asterisk folders when fiddling with it..  I tried restarting asterisk from pfSense and I still get them.  I even modified the asterisk.conf file (which was pointing to /tmp also) but nothing... :O

                                well now i'm getting this message after every call i make (the call work but the history of calls is not updated/empty) :
                                [Jul 7 18:18:57] ERROR[36008] cdr_csv.c: Unable to re-open master file /var/log/asterisk//cdr-csv//Master.csv : No such file or directory

                                Strange (double // in the path of the file) … something seems corrupted (EDIT: after a search double // seems correct...).
                                Where can i get the list of file created by this package (on startup and/or package installation?)

                                EDIT :could it be that the "Log directory:              /var/log/asterisk" is incorrect for a nanobsd installation ?
                                After creating by hand "/var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv" directory, the message has gone, do these directories get created on asterisk startup or only once on package installation ?

                                i think it's time to re-read all the topics related to asterisk in pfsense in the forum...

                                  check on asterisk.inc if it's checking/creating the /var/db folder

                                  IIRC, /var is flushed every reboot, so it need to be recreated during package sync/startup

                                    So, if i understand good, i just need to edit asterisk.inc and add some code to create the directories (like "mkdir -p /var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv" in the sync_package_asterisk() function) ?
                                    thank you

                                        there is a type on that post,

                                        So it needs to be recreated during package sync/startup/boot as it's a memory file system on nanobsd.

                                          OK, I wasn't aware this was about nanobsd… Missed that part somehow.

                                            When I restarted my pfSense the gui was no longer available and I am also getting the db warning…
                                            Unable to re-open master file /var/log/asterisk//cdr-csv//Master.csv : No such file or directory

                                            check on asterisk.inc if it's checking/creating the /var/db folder

                                            Nope, it's not creating that on the .inc the .inc file says to replace whatever it's there with /tmp (which I changed it to /usr/local/db/asterisk but it's not taking it..

                                            Here is what it says when I go to Status / Asterisk
