| jsmith | hieunm_vips: Sure... Alice calls into Asterisk, and Asterisk calls Bob on his cell phone. Asterisk says "Hey Bob, you've got a call from Alice. Do you want to take it, or send her to voicemail?" entelechy: http://www.asterisknow.org/developers/gui-guide |
| entelechy | jsmith: thank you, i have been staring at that one and the few other docs i could find. makes no mention of how to add the "asterisk_guitools" context entries to extensions.conf if they arent already there. which they arent. does asterisk-gui require asterisk > 1.4.0 ? |
| jsmith | Yes I'm pretty sure it does I don't think the manager-over-http facility was in Asterisk before 1.4 |
| entelechy | im using 1.4.0 |
| jsmith | (or the built-in web server, for that matter) |
| entelechy | it works, but the CLI gives this message: |
| jsmith | I'd use 1.4.4 -- there have been a lot of fixes in that regard |
| entelechy | [May 15 21:48:08] NOTICE[12329]: chan_local.c:562 local_alloc: No such extension/context executecommand@asterisk_guitools creating local channel [May 15 21:48:08] NOTICE[12329]: channel.c:2762 __ast_request_and_dial: Unable to request channel Local/executecommand@asterisk_guitools mail*CLI> |
| jsmith | Right... the GUI is trying to execute a system command, but that extension doesn't exist. |
| entelechy | i understand, i was hoping i could find the "extensions.conf" containing the proper context to have a look at it before i start comparing changelogs from 1.4.0 to 1.4.4 :-) |
| jsmith | I think that context is added when you install the gui At least, that's what that page says |
| entelechy | oh you mean if i ran "make samples" ??? |
| jsmith | That page I pointed to also shows what that context looks like |
| entelechy | http://lists.rpath.org/pipermail/asterisk-commits/2006-December/000626.html contains some hints that i dont see in the page you posted? i.e. extenions.conf.gui.patch not mentioned anywhere in the gui setup guide... nor are any of the entries the patch would seem to add |
| jsmith | Well, that's obvioiusly a *patch*, and not part of the standard gui install |
| entelechy | yes - the 1.4.0 extensions.conf doesnt have the proper context. trying to find the default/blank one that comes with 1.4.X that actually INCLUDES that context |
| anonymouz666 | using manager do originate calls, does the cdr get right? callfiles dont |
| nick125_lappy | I need an easy way to make an automated call at a specific time, what would be the easiest way to do that? |
| entelechy | forgive me if i am missing something obvious, i'd love to upgrade to 1.4.4 but then i need to very carefully compare changelogs to make sure the upgrade doesnt break anything |
| Strom_M | it's a bugfix release if anything, it will /fix/ problems |
| entelechy | no doubt i was just trying to avoid having to manually redo the entire /etc/asterisk/*.conf affected by this upgrade since obviously at least one file, extensions.conf, *is* affected dont see it in 1.4.4 - extensions.conf is identical i realize im very new to asterisk. but it seems like it should be a fairly simple matter to find where the context asterisk_guitools is supposed to be defined i already have working providers, dialplan, extensions w/1.4.0, setup by hand following instructions at http://www.asterisknow.org/developers/gui-guide and in the readme in asterisk-gui/README didnt do anything to set up this context "asterisk_guitools" nor even mention it and grepping the entire code tree of 1.4.4 results in not one mention of asterisk_guitools, not in the sample configs, the docs, nowhere |
| JT | entelechy: the gui stuff is not part of asterisk |
