Re: [Asterisk-Users] Creating new voicemail accounts

I have googled this one to death, and can't find anything.

I added a number of new users to my asterisk (current CVS) system.  I 
am using the "Voicemail2" family.

I added entries in extensions.conf and voicemail.conf for my new 
users, and I have tested leaving and retrieving new voicemails for 
them.  All of this works fine.

But if one of the new users tries to "Administer personal greetings" 
(or whatever exactly the menu choice is called) once they get to the 
point of recording, asterisk bombs them off the call without writing 
anything.

Here's the CLI interaction:

    -- Playing 'vm-messages'
    -- Playing 'vm-opts'
    -- Playing 'vm-options'
    -- Playing 'vm-rec-unv'
    -- Playing 'beep'
    -- x=0, open writing:  voicemail/default/5120/unavail format: gsm, 
(nil)
  == Spawn extension (home, 8, 1) exited non-zero on 
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]:4569]/2'

Actual voicemail messages seem to be being saved in all the various 
(gsm, wav) formats, so the recording subsystem must have all its 
components.

I'm sure I must be overlooking something obvious.  Can anyone provide 
a pointer?

Thx.

If you are using VM2 and using something other than the [default] 
context then you will not create the correct directory structures when 
you run the addmailbox script to create the mailboxes..

I have attached a copy of my addmailbox2 script which takes into account 
the context when creating the voice mailbox directory structure..

Hope it helps you promlem..
