 I have heard from 5 or so people about this problem.  I run CVS STABLE
 (almost the same as 1.0.7) and had none of these issues.  I wish I
 could help you, but I wanted to let you know that this is not a
 general problem.
 

Well a quick reinstall of Asterisk solved the problem, but I hope it
doesn't happen again :)

Thanks for the heads up Eric.

[Asterisk-Users] Meetme and a timing source

2005-05-02 Thread Simon Morris
All,

I seem to be confused :(

Meetme won't work with the message That is not a valid conference
number, please try again even with the simplest of configurations.

Having trawled the list archives, wiki and harrased people on
#asterisk I've come to a dead-end.

I compiled ztdummy last night from source and it inserts without any errors.

I also have a Digium TE110P card in the server although it currently
isn't plugged into anything. Am I able to use this zaptel card for
timing even though it isn't 'live'?

I haven't configured a lot in /etc/zaptel.conf or /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf

uname -r: 2.4.27-2-386

[Asterisk-Users] Playback() stops working.

2005-05-01 Thread Simon Morris
Hello,

I'm working on configuring asterisk 1.0.7 on Debian Sarge.

The servers been tested a bit and seemed to working fine, but for some
reason now, when I try and run the Playback() or Background()
applications, or even try and goto voicemail asterisk refuses to play
any sounds back to me.

How can I start to debug the cause of this?

Thanks

[Asterisk-Users] Some * scripts: Pull asterisk config from LDAP and authenticate() against voicemail passwords

2005-04-29 Thread Simon Morris
Hello,

Wrote some Python scripts last night to scratch an itch I was having
with Asterisk.

http://www.beerandspeech.org/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi/tech/linux/050429a.html
http://www.beerandspeech.org/images/050429/asterisk-config.py.txt
http://www.beerandspeech.org/images/050429/asterisk-passwd.py.txt

asterisk-config.py lets me store asterisk config data in LDAP and generate 
config files from it

head -n 32 asterisk-config.py
#!/usr/bin/python

# This script connects to an LDAP server looking for attributes that it can use
# to build some asterisk config files
#
# You need to setup your LDAP server (this was written in mind to connect to AD)
# and populate the correct attributes - it will then go away and build sip.conf,
# extensions.conf, SIP$MAC.cnf, SEP$MAC.cnf and CTLSEP$MAC.cnf
#
# This script builds sip.conf and extensions.conf in 3 parts... it reads a file
# (by default /etc/asterisk/sip.conf.head ) then dynamically builds the
# extensions and then appends the contents of sip.conf.tail
#
# This means you can maintain the static content of sip.conf ( the [general]
# parameters and dynamically build the rest
#
# On my extensions.conf.head the last line is [default] so all the
# dynamically created extensions go into this context
#
# You can also elect to not include certain SIP lines, phones and extensions in
# the autoconfiguration process
#
# It also writes out a Cisco XML phone directory file and a HTML phone list
# style file. On these files you can expand your LDAP search to include
# external non-asterisk users - maybe business contacts or such-like
#
# BUGS: Currently doesn't do a lot of error checking so missing attributes may
# make the script barf.. also doesn't do anything to voicemail.conf - thats 
coming
# next
#
# If you have any questions, comments or patches please email me at [EMAIL 
PROTECTED]

and secondly asterisk-passwd.py allows me to run the Authenticate() command 
using the same password
people have for their voicemail. Basically greps voicemail.conf and dumps their 
password into separate file

head -n 18 asterisk-passwd.py

#!/usr/bin/python

# I needed to add a Asterisk Authenticate() command to a dialplan but
# I wanted to use the same passwords as those in voicemail.conf to avoid giving
# users multiple passwords - grepping voicemail.conf seemed a little complicated
# so this script runs every 5 minutes under cron and it refreshs the password 
files
# in case a user changes their voicemail password (which happens like. 
never!)
#
# To include in the dial plan I used this
# [callforwarding]
# exten = s,1,Authenticate(/etc/asterisk/passwords/${CALLERIDNAME})
#
# So the Authenticate command would read /etc/asterisk/passwords/683 for my 
extension
#
# BUGS: Hmm, I guess it depends if your ${CALLEDIDNAME} equals your numeric 
extension number - mine did :)
# If not play with the splitting of the line to get the correct index for the
# filename - look at the output of asterisk -rvv to see which filename it's 
trying to read
# Any questions or comments welcome to [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Hope someone finds these useful - please let me know if you use them and it 
works.

Rgds

 Yes this is possible.
 
 In your extensions.conf:
 
 exten = _8501,1,Answer()
 exten = _8501,2,VoicemailMain(s${CALLERIDNUM})
 exten = _8501,3,Hangup()
 
 then program the messages button to dial 8501 either via settings, SIP
 Settings, Messages URI (set to 8501) or in the SIPDefault.cnf file
 

That method works perfectly - thanks to all that took the time to answer

Guys - sorry to change my original question.

That solution does exactly what I asked BUT! I'd like it to dial and
know which extension I'm coming from and then prompt for the password.

Just realised that the solution above allows people to wander around
listening to other peoples voicemail at the press of the button :-)

So.. how to bypass the Enter your mailbox number stage in voicemail
and go straight to the password prompt.

Thanks guys

 I had to upgrade to image P0S3-06-3-00 first.  Once I was at this

 I could then upgrade to image P0S3-07-4-00.  I WAS aware of the
 differences in spelling in the OS79XX.TXT file and SIPDefault.cnf and
 KEPT the file names DIFFERENT according to a document on
 voip.info.org.

Michael, Boris,

Is it possible that you could send me a copy of your SIP.cnf
file as I'm having trouble with mine... My 7960 keeps rebooting after
TFTPing it down and I suspect it's too big.

Seeing a working example would really help me out

Personally I think it is much more beneficial for you to ask the list
questions - rather than disappear into a one-on-one session with
someone.

Not only for yourself who would get a wider range of advice and opinions
from various people on-list, but for me :) who doesn't know all that
much about *

And of course for anyone reading the archives in time to come...

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk on debian sarge doesn't start with CAPI module errors

2005-04-13 Thread Simon Morris
Hello,

Fresh install of Debian Sarge and asterisk from the debian archives.

Asterisk doesn't start and dies with the following message.

Asterisk up and running with SIP first.
