      Have a little question that may become big.

      I'm running pfSense 2.1 beta1 and installed Asterisk package.

      I can see the Asterisk page in the status menu and the service running in the services status page. So I'm assuming that the package is working, at least for now.

      But in the main Asterisk page it enumerates these directories:

      • Directories
          –-----------
          Configuration file:         
          Configuration directory:    /usr/pbi/asterisk-i386/etc/asterisk
          Module directory:            /usr/pbi/asterisk-i386/lib/asterisk/modules
          Spool directory:            /usr/pbi/asterisk-i386/var/spool/asterisk
          Log directory:              /usr/pbi/asterisk-i386/var/log/asterisk
          Run/Sockets directory:      /usr/pbi/asterisk-i386/var/run/asterisk
          PID file:                    /usr/pbi/asterisk-i386/var/run/asterisk/asterisk.pid
          VarLib directory:            /usr/pbi/asterisk-i386/share/asterisk
          Data directory:              /usr/pbi/asterisk-i386/share/asterisk
          ASTDB:                      /usr/pbi/asterisk-i386/var/db/asterisk/astdb
          IAX2 Keys directory:        /usr/pbi/asterisk-i386/share/asterisk/keys
          AGI Scripts directory:      /usr/pbi/asterisk-i386/share/asterisk/agi-bin

      Are they alright or I have to move them to another place before configuring Asterisk?

      I think that they should be pointing to other places.

        Yes, pfsense 2.1 installs packages under /usr/pbi

          Hi, I've recently installed Asterisk package on pfSense 2.1 beta1 and made it work with a little config.
          But I can't see logs or calls on the status interface. May be is not correctly installed.

          Thank you…

            I did not checked asterisk package on 2.1.

            Maybe it's looking for logs on the wrong folder.

            check if there are logs in /usr/pbi/asterisk-xx/var folder

              Yes, they are there…

              More precisely in /usr/pbi/asterisk-i386/var/log/asterisk/

                  I'd modified the paths of the PHPs. They are hardcoded for version 2.0.

                  Thank you very much…

                    Hi again,

                    finally with an Asterisk up and running on pfSense 2.1 beta1.

                    I'm trying to enable fax sending and receiving with res_fax.so and res_fax_digium.so.

                    I've already registered my box with Digium's register method explained in Digiums site but theres a lib missing when I do module load res_fax_digium.so.

                    Here is the output:

                    There in no comments about this at Digium's site.

                    Does anyone succeded on making fax module work on pfSense?

                    Thanks…/markster@digium.com

                      Hello,
                      I'm testing asterisk on pfsense since some weeks. It's very stable :)
                      Thank you for this great work !

                      I have 3 pfsense with an IPSEC vpn :
                      site A : 192.168.1.0
                      site B : 192.168.2.0 - with an pika warp / freepbx asterisk
                      site C : 192.168.3.0 - with your package asterisk on pfsense.

                      I would like to connect from site A to site C with a SIP client. Test with zoiper.

                      zoiper site A to asterisk site B : ok. it works :)
                      zoiper site A to asterisk pfsense site C : ko. it doesn't works :(

                      On states pfsense, of the site A & C, i have :
                      NO_TRAFFIC:SINGLE

                      IPSEC VPN rules are corrects. * for all settings.
                      what should i do ?
                      thank you :)

                        I see the asterisk gui, but the user and password do not work, edit manager.conf and nothing

                          I see that the GUI of the package needs some work to be compatible to 2.1. I'll soon post the necessary modifications.

                            Is there a place where I could push the modifications needed for this plugin to work with 2.1? Like GitGub, etc…?

                              I've just modified my config file editor page, with complete backup and restore options.

                              I've also optimized the installation to properly run on NanoBSD systems. I'm going to update them accordingly at https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages/tree/master/config/asterisk

                                Hi,

                                this post refer to i thread i started because this the GUI was not working properly on PfSense 2.1 release
                                http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=66660.0

                                i find out at the moment that two file of the GUI need to be modified to point to the new location for the package:

                                asterisk_calls.php
                                path need to be modified to :
                                "/usr/pbi/asterisk-amd64/var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv/Master.csv"
                                or
                                "/usr/pbi/asterisk-i386/var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv/Master.csv"
                                depending of architecture instead of :
                                "/var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv/Master.csv"

                                asterisk_log.php
                                path need to be modified to :
                                "/usr/pbi/asterisk-amd64/var/log/asterisk/messages"
                                or
                                "/usr/pbi/asterisk-i386/var/log/asterisk/messages"
                                depending of architecture instead of :
                                "/var/log/asterisk/messages"

                                for edit config file, the new path is "/usr/pbi/asterisk-amd64/etc/asterisk" for the config file

                                i don't know where to go to do the modification or if someone have to do it at my place (never did it before) but this make the package working on PfSense 2.1 . It is working flawlessly for me for the moment but i have to mod the php file each time an update is done on the package.

                                  Work is in progress just now with modifications to address these issues.

                                  Actually paths will be corrected on the file system to point to writable locations (as /usr/pbi/…. is not writable on NanoBSD), symlinks will be used and Asterisk configuration files will be updated accordingly on first install.

                                  Please be patient, soon the update will be available in the packages list.

                                    Package update v0.3 should be online soon.

                                    If you already installed asterisk package on v2.1, I suggest to start from scratch by creating a fresh install of pfSense, or at least uninstall the complete Asterisk package, remove these directories by hand, reboot and reinstall Asterisk package:

                                    Spool directory:             /var/spool/asterisk
Log directory:               /var/log/asterisk
Run/Sockets directory:       /var/run/asterisk
ASTDB:                       /var/db/asterisk/astdb

                                      Note to users upgrading from pfSense v2.0.x:

                                      Asterisk package was converted to PBI, thus the system file locations for it have been changed. That means that the asterisk.conf file on the 2.0.x and 2.1 will have different [directories] sections. Please revise the directory paths on the fresh install of Asterisk on v2.1, and correct them manually before restoring the configuration from 2.0.x.

                                      On simpler scenarios, where only SIP protocol is used, the first approach to upgrade Asterisk would be to actually install it fresh on a v2.1 box, and replace sip.conf and extensions.conf files with the previous ones. All the other config files can be left in their default state if you didn't modify them earlier.

                                        i'll have to reinstall my setup from scratch on 2.1 cause my HDD is failing

                                        if i have little time, i'll post the name of the file and what to temporary modify as a workaround until the package is completely updated.

                                        you do a great job here folks :)

                                        thanks

                                          It's already done, devs from pfSense need to pull it in to the servers…
