@duncan,

It seems a link is missing between the following directories when u want to record the "buzy", "not here" or "name" announce in the voicemail.

ln -s /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/voicemail

Isn't It ?

thks

[duncan]

Yep, something I need to fix on the next build - however the linking goes like this

ln -s /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default /var/spool/asterisk/vm
ln -s /var/spool/asterisk/vm /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/vm

Regards Duncan

DeStar is a web front end for the open source PBX Asterisk.

screenshots are very interesting....

really nice.
Have you actually tried it?

[jacobsweb]

I am about to but support on configuration would be great... its very hard to figure out where to strat!!

[Franco]

These guys are doing the same for MacOSX
http://www.sunrise-tel.com/, Í also was unable to get it to work, got stuck on the quixote install  

[jacobsweb]

yeah i got suck on quixote as well, i found some good how-to's online that ill post up later on. I have my oztell and FWD acounts and i just ordered a Sipura-2000 box so next will ill begin to seriously play with it

[Franco]

I think the Sipura is a much better choice than what I got, I wanted to save money and bought an used Tellian that only does h.323. If I decided to use it, I'll have to implement open-h323 and have asterisk do the translation. I've been able to play with asterisk at the moment by editing the conf files and it sure is a lot of work, if you have any progress on quixote, please let me know. Thanks!

hi there.. and thanks for the howto
When i try to

rpm -Uvh http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/dthomas/smeserver/6.x/Beta/Asterisk/smeserver-asterisk-1.0-RC1.i686.rpm

i get
package smeserver-asterisk-1.0-RC1 is for a different architecture

*EDIT*

Noob here... i just sit and wait for the i386 version

I get the same error. Any work around?

[cydonia]

I recently setup a new SME Server and am yet to install Asterisk.

I'm just wondering, should i use the rpm, or do it the old way:)?

thanks.

[duncan]

The Asterisk rpm takes care of some SME specific items. It also gets around having to install some dev tools.

For those looking for a 386 rpm - it might be quicker to build from source. I really dont have anything in the way hardware to test the builds at the moment.

Hi fellows,

Looks like we need a good client for configuring all options of asterisk now. I've been searching for possibilities and it looks that this one:

http://www.ifrance.com/belikewater/code/actos.html

it's the most complete and gives access to all features.

I already installed it and python 2.3 but it doesn't seems to work.
Anyone have an idea why?

Best regards,
organetic

A LOT more info needed ont his one pls

[jacobsweb]

A LOT more info needed ont his one pls

as you may have noticed, i was going down the lest configure asterisk via a GUI path. But now that i understand the config files i see no use for the GUI, and im the kind of person that still struggles with the Linux command line interface!!!!

There is probably no need to start talking about how to configure asterisk in this forum as there is plenty of help out there, try and find the how to guides and follow them.

This was the most helpful for me

Duncan,

just wondering if your rpm installs asterisk 1.0.0?

If not, is it worth doing a manual install to get 1.0.0?

Anyone used it yet?  I'm sure there's not a huge difference, but still interested.
