        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...

                              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.

                                          (asterisk package with nanobsd installation)
                                          the problem :

                                          Unable to re-open master file /var/log/asterisk//cdr-csv//Master.csv : No such file or directory
                                          

                                          has been solved with the shellcmd package, i have created 3 shellcmd :

                                          mkdir /var/log/asterisk && chmod 0766 /var/log/asterisk 	shellcmd 	
                                          mkdir /var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv && chmod 0766 /var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv 	shellcmd 	
                                          chown -R asterisk:wheel /var/log/asterisk 	shellcmd 
                                          
                                          

                                          It is hardcoded but the message has gone… and now i can see the call history until a reboot.
                                          But now i would like to make things persistent :
                                          1/ to copy a saved Master.csv (and eventualy astdb) on startup to /var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv/Master.csv
                                          using shellcmd seems the best solution (but it would be more accurate to do this on service startup?)
                                          2/ to save Master.csv (an eventually astdb) from memory to my sdcard periodicaly (every day?)
                                          using cron package seems the best solution
                                          3/ to save Master.csv (an eventually astdb) from memory to my sdcard on shutdown or asterisk service stop
                                          NO idea on how to do it...

                                          is it a good solution or am i completly wrong?

                                          I'm very happy with pfsense/asterisk and I'm planing to migrate my (little) asterisk server (dockstar + debian lenny+asterisk 1.6) to my pfsense box !

                                          @m4f1050 : you should try to edit asterisk.conf and modify by hand the directories to /tmp (on nanobsd of course)

                                            Just tried…  updated asterisk.conf back to /tmp, restarted service = no go, reloaded sip and other option = no go, restarted service again = no go...  Im baffled..
