by Dyna Guy 23 May '13

23 May '13

I am a newbie to FS and I want learn it. So I setup a Centos 5.2 (fresh install) and followed the instruction on the wiki installed the new Freeswitch v1.0.3. After the installation I can start FS by issus command "/usr/local/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch". After that I copied freeswitch.init.centos5 to /etc/init.d/freeswitch and chmod it to 755. Reboot the server and FS is not running. If I try the start up script: [root@localhost build]# /etc/init.d/freeswitch start Starting freeswitch: [ OK ] [root@localhost build]# /etc/init.d/freeswitch status freeswitch dead but subsys locked Did I miss somthing here? Please help.

Mod_limit questions
by ivdreg ivdreg 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

Hi All, I have some questions regarding mod_limit. 1. I'm using 16674 in production but tested and with 17001. I try mod_limit with odbc/mysql and sqlite and have same problem: mod_limit using limit_hash never tries to write data to SQL. It works (counts sessions) on log screen but no data in MySQL/Sqlite. It seems that data is cached but cache never flushed to DB. Is anyone has this problem. My limits are: <action application="limit_hash" data="op_${sip_h_X-SRC-Cust} ${destination_number} 5 !INCOMING_CALL_BARRED" /> <action application="limit_hash" data="in_${sip_h_X-SRC-Cust} ${caller_id_number} 10/300 !OUTGOING_CALL_BARRED" /> and they are applied on inbound call profile in same extension. 2. I need to implement rule maximum of 50 calls per day/24h from the same CLID (A NUMBER) after that calls to be limited. I'm not sure but rule in example "Limit calls to 5 calls every 10 minutes" is about concurrent call but not calls processed as count. Any idea ? Thanks for any help

xmpp
by Peter P GMX 19 Oct '12

19 Oct '12

I saw that xmpp is supported in Fresswitch. See wiki: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_xmpp_event Has anybody already set this up? I have found no mod_xmpp neither in my mod directory nor in the source? There was also a question: " Q: Is it possible to send commands to fs via xmpp? Answer: Yes. " Anybody knows what can be done here and how to do this? Best regards Peter

Hi! I am trying to call from my corporate network (firewalled) using Gtalk to Freeswitch. I am not getting any audio. In the logs I see that mod_dingaling is using my internal corporate IP address which is not publically addressable. 2009-06-23 22:46:52.140382 [DEBUG] mod_dingaling.c:2634 using Existing session for 4085152502 2009-06-23 22:46:52.140382 [DEBUG] mod_dingaling.c:2932 1 candidates 2009-06-23 22:46:52.140382 [DEBUG] mod_dingaling.c:2960 candidates 146.xx.xx.xx:50320 2009-06-23 22:46:52.140382 [DEBUG] mod_dingaling.c:2993 Acceptable Candidate 146.xx.xx.xx:50320 Further on in the log, I can see GTalk sending a new candidate IP address to use: 2009-06-23 22:46:52.940486 [DEBUG] libdingaling.c:503 New Candidate 1 name=rtp type=local protocol=udp username=e+JTkVHT1xEkqXGD password=fAxU6Pr1oF9Zq48U address=192.168.1.102 port=50322 pref=1.00 2009-06-23 22:46:52.940486 [DEBUG] mod_dingaling.c:2634 using Existing session for 4085152502 2009-06-23 22:46:52.940486 [DEBUG] mod_dingaling.c:2928 Already picked an IP [146.xx.xx.xx] and 2009-06-23 22:46:52.957753 [DEBUG] libdingaling.c:503 New Candidate 2 name=rtp type=stun protocol=udp username=RBqyF2XNMYLfJNoU password=DQMjon1fSVoJIRTp address=124.xxx.xxx.xxx port=50323 pref=0.90 2009-06-23 22:46:52.957753 [DEBUG] mod_dingaling.c:2634 using Existing session for 4085152502 2009-06-23 22:46:52.957753 [DEBUG] mod_dingaling.c:2928 Already picked an IP [146.xx.xx.xx] and 2009-06-23 22:46:53.788341 [DEBUG] libdingaling.c:503 New Candidate 3 name=rtp type=relay protocol=udp username=62L5zs2FHbcUdeCJ password=KxmNgkUmZsLfuX6S address=209.xx.xxx.xxx port=19295 pref=0.50 2009-06-23 22:46:53.788341 [DEBUG] mod_dingaling.c:2634 using Existing session for 4085152502 2009-06-23 22:46:53.788341 [DEBUG] mod_dingaling.c:2928 Already picked an IP [146.xx.xx.xx] Because of this, I never get audio.

ESL problem
by Thangappan.M 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Dear all, In the previous post, I got the information that using event outbound socket we can implement the IVR and also see the example in libs/esl/perl/server2.pl. I have seen it and understood the flow of the script.But when I was running that script it tells the following error. Can't locate loadable object for module ESL in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at ESL.pm line 11 Compilation failed in require at server2.pl line 1. Then I checked the 11th line in the ESL.pm that line is (bootstrap ESL;) But in perl directory there is no directory called ESL. What would be the issue?. Is ESL necessary is necessary for implementing IVR using event outbound socket? -- Regards, Thangappan.M

How to break a playback with loops
by Daniel Liang 24 Jun '12

24 Jun '12

Hi, I am trying to playing back a wav file a few times, and on receiving a dtmf event, it stops playing the file. The command I sent is: sendmsg call-command: execute execute-app-name: playback execute-app-arg: <the wav file> loops: 4 On receiving a dtmf event, I send a break command: sendmsg call-command: execute execute-app-name: break However, that only breaks one loop of the playback. And I have to press a dtmf for 4 times to stop the file. I tried sending 4 break commands all at once. But it didn't work. And even worse, my program stops receiving dtmfs anymore. My guess is that the first break stops the first loop, but before the second loop starts, the following 3 breaks stop something else that I don't know what they are. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Daniel Liang

Re: [Freeswitch-users] Questions on Building an application for FreeSWITCH

Glad to hear. I still say to build the app and logic completely separately and connect it to FreeSWITCH over the socket using ESL. -- Kristian Kielhofner http://blog.krisk.org ----- Original Message ----- From: freeswitch-users-bounces(a)lists.freeswitch.org <freeswitch-users-bounces(a)lists.freeswitch.org> To: freeswitch-users(a)lists.freeswitch.org <freeswitch-users(a)lists.freeswitch.org> Sent: Wed May 12 18:28:13 2010 Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] Questions on Building an application forFreeSWITCHThis is legit. We are not into harassing anyone. There are too many people doing that already. We currently have this working on a Windows/Dialogic platform, but would like to get it over to FreeSWITCH for a number of reasons. It is always nice to avoid spending alot of time developing using a method that you later find has serious issues or limitations and then having to change horses and start over. I just thought I would tap on someone else's wisdom in regards to a good way to talk to FS that works well. I did notice that the wiki talks like LUA is the preferred way to go.

FreeSWITCH cluster with IM/Presence
by Even André Fiskvik 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

Hi. I currently have a project where I'm researching how to establish a clustered and scalable platform with: - registration - presence/blf between eyebeam/bria and Linksys SPA962 clients - IM between eyebeam/bria clients. - calling between the clients The first scenario I want to test is with two FreeSWITCH servers and shared ODBC db running in a "cluster". How the registrations and calls etc. are balanced between them is not decided yet, but I'm thinking that a UltraMonkey setup or DNS SRV records could to the trick here? The main challenge in this setup is sharing presence, and doing call-setup and IM between two FreeSWITCH servers (which can be scaled by adding n-nodes). I'm interested in user's that can confirm wether this solution is possible or not with FreeSWITCH and it's current state, and what it would take to make something like this work. If there's any part of FS that is lacking some implementation to make such a scenario work, we are interested in providing the funding to support those features. I've seen that the core db has added support for ODBC, but I'm not sure wether this is something that would be helpful in this scenario or not. This is only conceptual right now, so I'm interested in paying someone that could help me configure the two FS servers to support this scenario on an hourly basis to get a quick proof-of-concept up and running. The proof-of-concept has to be completed by March 19th, after which we will evaluate what technologies and setup we want to commit to. Some other variations I'm concidering is Opensips/Kamailio -> Asterisk, Opensips/Kamailio -> FreeSWITCH, Opensips/Kamailio -> Asterisk and Openfire + Asterisk-im plugin for IM/presence. I'm also open to other suggestions, but I'd like this topic to stay on how FreeSWITCH could facilitate such a platform. Best regards, Even André Fiskvik CTO - Oyatel AS

Hello I have problems with TCP and GXP2000 phones. They work fine using UDP, but no calls arrive if I switch to TCP. I've upgraded to the latest GS firmware today to see it that helped, but it didn't. Have anyone else had problems with TCP? Regards, Jonas
