Starting with Asterisk-IM... I need some Help

Openfire Plugins Asterisk-IM
1

Hi Everybody !!!

Im trying to use Asterisk-IM with my Wildfire server but Im having some problems, first at all here is the information about my servers and versions,

OS: Fedora Core 5

Wildfire: 3.10.0 Beta 2

Asterisk-IM plugin: version 1.2.0 Beta 2

Asterisk Server: 1.2.12.1

Wildfire is working fine in my LAN using spark as client, I’'ve start asterisk using:

“bash> asterisk start”

and then i use:

“bash> asterisk -r”

to connect to the server, everything seems to be fine at this point, then reading some post at the forum y edited my asterisk’'s manager.conf file to allow the connection of wildfire to asterisk like this:

"

enabled = yes

port = 5038

bindaddr = 0.0.0.0

displayconnects = yes

secret = my_password

deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0

permit=10.x.x.x/255.255.255.0

permit=10.x.x.x/255.255.255.0

permit=127.x.x.x/255.255.255.0

read = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user

write = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,use

"

And disconnect from asterisk and restart the service. After this, I try to register my asterisk server in the asterisk-IM control panel like this:

Server Name: localhost

Server Address: 10.x.x.x (the same that is in the managers.conf)

port: 5038

username: my_username

password: my_password

so when i click on “create server” button, wildfire shows me a message like “server created sucesfully” but it doesn’‘t appears in the list of registred servers. What im doing wrong?, there is something that im not doing?.. I’'ve even disabled the firewall and SElinux but still not working.

Can you helpme please

Hi Alex Thank you for responding

I’‘ve checked my error.log file and seems to be an exception like "table phoneServer doesn’'t exist" or something like that, im sorry but I have not acces to the log file rigth now because im in home.

Im using a MySQL database installed according to the online docuementation and there are some tables with the prefix “phone” but nothig related with server. I hope you can help me, if you need more information about my configuration or servers please let me know

Thank you !!!

If you haven’'t downloaded the latest versions of Wildfire yet, you will need to run the database updates manually. As there was a bug in some previous versions of Wildfire that prevented plugin updates from being run. So, if you can update to the latest version of Wildfire then do that, otherwise you will need to run the updates manually.

Thanks,

Alex

I just see that is a new version of the wildfire’‘s beta , I’'ll try it next monday and let you know how did it work, Thank you !!!

The new beta version of wildfire should not need any manual updates of the database rigth?

greetings

That is correct.

Hi Alex !!! (And everybody)

It works !! I installed the new wildfire’‘s beta version and my asterisk phone server is now registered in wildfire admin console, however, I’'ve could not make a call using spark yet, I have read in the forum how to do it but it is not working for me yet, I hope that you can help me, here is the infomation:

my asterisk server is in the same pc that my wildfire server and im triying to make a call between two clients using spark, this clients are in two diferents pc’'s

The information of my asterisk’'s manager.conf file is:

enabled = yes

port = 5038

bindaddr = 127.0.0.1

displayconnects = yes

secret = my_pass

deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0

permit=10.x.x.x/255.255.255.0

permit=10.x.x.x/255.255.255.0

permit=127.0.0.1/255.255.255.0

read = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user

write = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,use

my sip.conf file is:

context=default

realm=localhost

bindport=5060

bindaddr=0.0.0.0

srvlookup=yes

disallow=all

allow=ulaw

allow=alaw

allow=speex

allow=gsm

qualify=yes

nat=no

host=dynamic

canreinvite=no

context=internal

type=friend

secret=user2

qualify=yes

context=internal

my extensions.conf file is:

exten=>100,1,Dial(SIP/user1)

exten=>101,1,Dial(SIP/user2)

exten=>611,1,Echo();

My asterisk server registration data in the wildfire admin console is:

server name: localhost

server address: 10.x.x.x

port:5038

username: my_user

password: my_pass

so, what should i use in the Phone Mappings form to make a call from the user1 to user2 using spark?, the fields requeired in the form are:

username

phone

extension

caller ID

primary: yes/no

what else sould I configure? im really really confused about this part.

Thank you, and if you need more information about my configuration please let me know

Have you configured your sip.conf?

"Each SIP client that connects to Asterisk needs a definition in SIP.CONF. "

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asteriskconfigsip.conf

I wasn’‘t clear that you hadn’'t filled out the phone mappings:

username : wildfire username

phone /device: SIP/100 or SIP/101

extension: 100 or 101

caller id: user1 or user2

primary: doesn’'t matter until you have more than one number for a user.

Hope that helps,

Alex

after 2 weeks, I have’'nt made Asterisk IM works in my LAN, last week when i made a call using spark i was getting this error message:

“Oct 3 09:20:05 NOTICE3815: channel.c:2491 __ast_request_and_dial: Unable to request channel SIP/user2”

Now after a lot of configurations spark connection with wildfire crash when i try to make a call and asterisk console does’'nt shows anything… now the question is… someone really has made this plugin works fine?

If someone did, could share his/her config files of asterisk ?
