EBox 1.4 - Asterisk Module seems to be broken!!!!

[bellson]

I posted this in a related subject yesterday.....http://forum.ebox-platform.com/index.php?topic=2948.0

I decided to start a new thread since this issue seems a bit more serious.

I loaded Ebox 1.4 native (not VM).  Did not load firewall, mail filter, ids, etc.  Just the applications; asterisk, ebox management, egroupware, mail, webmail, web server, etc.

The box got a dhcp address from my network.  I changed this after the install to a fixed one in the same subnet, but outside the dhcp range.

I did NOT choose LDAP.

I ran through a brief config, added users, and a group; added the users to the group.  Assigned extensions to the users, and to the group.  Enabled demo extensions, set the voip domain, added two meeting rooms.  Basic, basic, basic....

I checked the dashboard, and asterisk was stopped.  I started it.  It stopped.  I dropped down to a shell, restarted asterisk using the command /usr/sbin/asterisk -f -p -U asterisk.  It died.  I restarted asterisk and added the -c (console) option.  It died.  Here is the console output:

Anyone??  Thoughts???

[javi]

Can you check the dahdi kernel modules are loaded and the device is created?

[bellson]

Hello Javi,

I visually verified that the Dahdi modules loaded, they are the ebox version direct from the CD or Mirror.

Here is the kernel:
root@ebox143:~# uname -a
Linux ebox143 2.6.24-26-ebox #1 SMP Tue Jan 5 04:34:12 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

Same behavior as before, here is a console capture when running /usr/sbin/asterisk -f -p -c -U asterisk:

I can find no /dev/vt0.  Is that the dev you are looking for?  Please advise!!!!  I need to be able to demonstrate the ebox solution with now extras next week.  Please feel free to ask anything.  I will be watching this thread and will respond quickly.

Thank You,

[bellson]

Hi Javi,

By the way, I have a Digium 4 port PSTN card installed in the box.  Two questions:

1.  Will I be able to use this card?  How does Ebox recommend configuration of this interface for use by the ebox implementation of asterisk?

2.  Where do you store the master configuration files for asterisk?  I was not able to find them where you keep the other mas files.
    2a.  Can I modify asterisk master files and have those changes stick?
    2b.  Do you have any "internal" docs that explain your implementation of asterisk?

Lastly, do you think the Digium card may be causing an issue here?

I can try removing the card if you think that will help.  I know that the design is slanted toward using VOIP and SIP providers as opposed to PSTN circuits, but that will hurt rather than help my ability to deploy this solution.

Please advise,

[javi]

In your previous post I see a lot of warnings and notice  but not actual failures. How is it failing?

[bellson]

Hi Javi,

This is the failure reported that would cause Asterisk to exit, at least in my opinion.

........Couldnt open VTCore device node (/dev/vt0): No such file or directory

I do not know the function of vt0, do you?

[bellson]

Hello,

Still here and waiting for answers....

Here is a tail of the asterisk log.  I have re-installed on new hardware, and I always get one of the two results:

1.  Asterisk does not run.

2.  Asterisk runs, but one call locks up the machine.

Here is the log tail:

Could you try if these packages fix this problem ?

I have just started to play with ebox-asterisk...
I am actually in the same boat! I get same warnings and errors...
I have a card as well but 12 channels instead of 4.

I will help to troubleshoot this and test whatever is needed.

I been trying to try those packages but... how I can actually exchange that?

BTW I am a bit clueless about how to do things usually read the manual... but cannot find how to do this.

Any help?

thanks!

Hello Javi,

Still Broken.

Two seperate issues:

1.  The Dahdi-tools module does not seem to load, I am still testing this. 

2.  Asterisk still locks up when the first call is placed.  I will continue testing and report back on my progress.

Please let me know how best I can assist....

Thanks

[bellson]

As suspected, the Dahdi-tools does not appear to be functional, and the dahdi driver is not loading.  Kernel is correct, but not working........

What's next???

[jsjc]

Well I took dahdi tools away and compiled the latest from website so I can have drivers for my telephony card so that is not my issue.

I insert the modules manually with 'modprobe dahdi' then my telephony card module.

The problem comes to asterisk that gives thos warnings and then an error and stops the whole lot.

I dont know what could be but tonight will do a bit more research.

Cheers,

Javi
