Asterisk 1.8 package

marcelloc

For those who is following this thread, I've submitted asterisk-gui to freebsd ports. Since it's approved, I can add it to this package.

Guys thanks for the awesome work!

I've a pfsense 2.01 on a nanobsd platform running asterisk package successfully.

While I've the voicemail for only one extension configured, I wanna integrate it with my google IMAP account.

I was reading details on howto here http://www.asteriskdocs.org/en/3rd_Edition/asterisk-book-html-chunk/voicemail_IMAP_integration.html

I've configured voicemail.conf successfully and module reload app_voicemail.so does not give me any errors but I still dont see any voice mails coming up on my IMAP. I'm wondering if the IMAP toolkit was compiled into this built of asterisk. Being a no-pro, any heads up on how to check and proceed would be appreciable.

Hi all,

1st post on this forum, so this may not be the place, but thanks so marcelloc for his hard work and tireless support.
I've been using pfSense for about a year now, and have discovered "real" network administration, it has opened up for me many possibilities for me, learning and achieving so much I can't ever be so thankful !

Anyway, here is my problem with this module today:
Since GUI upgrade to 2.0.2, service fails to start:


Dec 22 12:06:03 	root: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/asterisk: WARNING: failed to start asterisk
Dec 22 12:06:01 	php: /status_services.php: The command '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/asterisk stop' returned exit code '1', the output was 'Stopping asterisk /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/lib/libssl.so.6: unsupported file layout'

Any ideas ?
Thanks !

In most cases it means wrong arch on libs, for example, amd64 libs on a i386 system.

Did you upgraded i386 to amd64???

Thanks for your prompt reply.
Ah, that may well be the case !
Would uninstalling the module and reinstalling correct this, or may I run into other bugs doing so ?

Are you doing it with pkg_add on console/ssh?

I usually do 99% through the GUI. BTW, I'm using full install, if that helps.
I now remember I had to use i386 installing 2.0.1, as I had found incompatibilities with my motherboard at install (intel D2500cc), VGA problems were worse on x64. Maybe I should have used a serial setup, but am really not familiar with that.

I'm just going to uninstall reinstall the package through GUI, see if that helps, and report here. If it breaks, I'll try to reinstall 2.0.2 i386 and load previous configuration.

francois13e

A simple uninstall / install from GUI fixed it.
Sorry for the trouble, I should have tried that right away.

Thanks again for your contributions to the project, they're priceless !

Any idea when these will be out of beta stage and available via the package section in the webgui? (asterisk 1.8.x and the asterisk-gui 2.x)
I am currently on 2.0.2

Thanks.

Mafioso,

The port submit of asterisk-gui is still pending on freebsd ports. :(

m4f1050

Good luck and I hope they hurry up because I am not installing Asterisk until the gui is there or altogether. :)

Ditto. I am totally confused with the current package and how to configure it. I am a GUI guy and would love to have GUI for this package for me to start taking advantage of it.

Hello,
a newbie question…

I'm yet another cheapskate with a TDM400P PCI analog telephony card doing 'nowt in an old box...and wondering if the zaptel/DHADI route (even with the apparent echo issues...) is worth pursuing and how to get some stable drivers to try on a production box (I know!!).

I've been looking around
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/FreeBSD%20zaptel looked interesting but seems a dead end...

The card is recognised by pciconf -lv :
none2@pci0:1:8:0: class=0x078000 card=0x0003b100 chip=0x0001e159 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Tiger Jet Network Inc'
device = 'Multiple devices use this ID: General Purpose I/O Controller'
class = simple comms

but doesn't show up in dmesg

Is there hope? or is it (very likely) easier to erm... Ubuntu it?

Any pointers very welcome ;D

To run asterisk cards on freebsd will need it drivers and dahdi. I do not recomend it on pfsense.

Thanks - I had to ask the question… there seems to have been some activity - but quite a while ago and the hardware has moved on.

I guess I'll try a Draytech VoIP router to handle analog and see how I get on with that.... TDM400P >=ebay

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.

@muchacha_grande:

Yes, pfsense 2.1 installs packages under /usr/pbi

muchacha_grande

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…

marcelloc

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

muchacha_grande

Yes, they are there…

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