Asterisk 1.8 package

@francois13e:

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.

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. :(

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

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/

@muchacha_grande:

try to create a symlink to /var/log/asterisk

muchacha_grande

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.
