[Asterisk-Users] Web interface for Asterisk

2004-04-08 Thread Jain, Sonal
I installed the flash operator panel and I also installed the flash-shockwave in my 
mozilla browser. I followed the read me instructions in the Flash operator and made 
the changes to the op_server.pl but when I run the browser I get transferring data and 
just sits there. I don't see anything being transferred. If any body has used this 
software please tell me what am I doing wrong.
 I copied the two files from the html directory to /var/www/html/panel directory which 
is the web root.
I also changed the manager.conf file and created a user ID and secret which I 
specified in the op_server.pl.

Thanks,

ok this is what I did
I moved all to my /var/www/html/control. did the changes is my files and
used the copy of manager.conf. I started asterisk and did
/var/www/html/control/op_server.pl and pointed my browser to
192.168.0.1/control/html ... had the  same problem. Then I went and set
debug to 1 in op_server(did not help cant read the lang?). So I made the
dir /var/www/html/wtf and moved the 2 files in the html dir to
here,restarted asterisk and /var/www/html/control/op_server.p and
pointed my browser to 192.168.0.1/wtf and wtf it worked,now Im not
talking about the transfer and hangup??
here is my conf
##
# CONFIGURATION
#
# parameters to connect to Asterisk Manager
my $manager_host   = 192.168.0.1;
my $manager_user   = altus;
my $manager_secret = altus;
   
  
#
# parameters for the op_server
my $web_hostname  = 192.168.0.1;   # must be the same address you use
to contact the web server
my $listen_port   = 4445;
my $security_code = 'd39i393kd';   # secret code for performing

I agree.  Besides think of how much more marketable it would be if you
could implement a solution for a client where they would be able to do
some of the more simple changes on their own without incurring an
expense.  When they need real work done to their box then they'd call in
the experts.  Why must everyone criticize each others work so harshly.
Why not just say, hey nice gui and keep their elitist comments to
themselves.

Why limit the range of configuration options?  I mean, what about people

for the newbie to just fire up ex and bang out their own telephony
application?  It will match their requirements more closely.

There is nothing wrong with lowering the bar to entry.  When they run
into things the GUI does not handle, they will be more likely to pop
open a nedit window and find the effort worthwhile since they have
already learned that Asterisk is worth having around.  Or do you
disagree with the concept of Linux distributions too?  Wouldn't the
newbie be better off downloading all the individual parts, from the FTP
servers like we used to back in '92?

Besides, if we are ever to have a fully configurable GUI, we will
probably have to suffer along with a partial solution until someone
who needs more flexibility and has the skills, enhances the existing
tool.  Besides, wouldn't it be in *your* best interest to volunteer to
help fix up the GUI to make sure it is dead simple for a newbie to
install a precompiled package, pop open a web browser and sign up for a
/*your company here*/ account or twenty?  You *can* still use vi when 
you make changes to your own configs.  No-one wants to take that right
away from you.
 
 Good luck, your gonna need it,

I disagree with your attitude.  I hope for your sake, you don't take
that attitude with your prospective customers.  But hey!  You are free
to have your own personality.

BTW, do you edit your sendmail.cf files directly?  Or do you wuss out
and edit sendmail.mc instead?  BTW, it is not germane to my point that 
you may be running some other MTA instead.  I prefer to run postfix 
myself.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Web interface for Asterisk

2003-06-26 Thread Steven P. Donegan
Well, for *, I fall into the newbie category (not for telephony, VOIP, Internet, *NIX, 
C, etc - those I've been doing since the
Internet had 3 nodes :-) and each technology mentioned was a newborn)

I believe making it easy for folks to enter the * world will do nothing but sell 
Digium products, expand/improve *, etc. Keeping it
in a 'you have to be an expert hacker' world will not.

I personally would assist in a PHP (I assume) web GUI effort, and will definitely 
contribute 'simple' but complete mini-examples of
conf files for * - that seems to be something lacking at present for a newbie like 
myself. And - yes - I've read the manual from
end-to-end several times already :-)

My testbed is a dual Xeon RedHat box (shows as a 4 CPU setup to top), tomorrow should 
provide a 4 FXS card and an FXO card and I
have a fully deployed H.323 VOIP environment (Altigen)
to play with. I'll snag a PRI card after I get things squared away - * will be my PBX 
backup to the Altigen until such a time as it
proves itself superior...

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Web interface for Asterisk

2003-06-26 Thread Gary
Actually.

I am more thinking towards a USER rather than an ADMINISTRATOR

We are looking at putting asterisk on similar to an embedded platform,
and providing a USER interface so they can alter PART of the dialplan.

Very simplified, (which of course makes the actual code complicated).

More along the lines of instead of dialing 9 for this change it to 7
and let them choose the extension numbers to dial their sip phones
etc., etc.,

What I think must be remembered, is that not all people using asterisk
have the brains, knowledge or even desire to deal with asterisk, they
just want to plug a box in and have it work...

Also consider the large increase in the number of newbies to the list,
I dare say its probably close to the time that a support forum is setup
so they can actually find what they need by looking thru a more
structured listing than an email list can provide.

If enough people respond OFFLIST to me, I will again set one up 
:-)

application?  It will match their requirements more closely.

There is nothing wrong with lowering the bar to entry.  When they
run into things the GUI does not handle, they will be more likely to
pop open a nedit window and find the effort worthwhile since they
have already learned that Asterisk is worth having around.  Or do you
disagree with the concept of Linux distributions too?  Wouldn't the
newbie be better off downloading all the individual parts, from the FTP
servers like we used to back in '92?

Besides, if we are ever to have a fully configurable GUI, we will
probably have to suffer along with a partial solution until someone
who needs more flexibility and has the skills, enhances the existing
tool.  Besides, wouldn't it be in *your* best interest to volunteer
to help fix up the GUI to make sure it is dead simple for a newbie to
install a precompiled package, pop open a web browser and sign up for a
/*your company here*/ account or twenty?  You *can* still use vi when 
you make changes to your own configs.  No-one wants to take that right
away from you.
 
 Good luck, your gonna need it,

I disagree with your attitude.  I hope for your sake, you don't take
that attitude with your prospective customers.  But hey!  You are free
to have your own personality.

BTW, do you edit your sendmail.cf files directly?  Or do you wuss out
and edit sendmail.mc instead?  BTW, it is not germane to my point that 
you may be running some other MTA instead.  I prefer to run postfix 
myself.

 If the web form makes it easier for the newbies why not, its just
 another option
 
 It could even be expanded to be a dialplan for dunnies (woops, i meant
 dummies:-) interface
 
 Considering all it is, is an interface to write out a .conf file

 I disagree - for many tasks a GUI would be just fine, for others direct 
 coding would do the trick. They do not have to be mutually
 exclusive.

 That GUI is going to dramaticly limit the flexibility of your config.
 The only way you can make a GUI config work with Asterisk is if you have
 a very very specific task you want to accomplish, but even then you
 still will have issues as your requirements change with time.
 
 Stick with what the AstGod has bestowed upon us It will save you
 many headaches.

 Hi everybody,
 
 I've been tinkering with a web based interface for Asterisk. I tried
 to stick as closely to the current configuration format as possible.
 The web interface should help to do things a little easier (sort by
 extension, context, do bulk changes).

 Feedback appreciated!
