Building v1.2 .debs on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
by Gabriel Gunderson 23 Sep '12

23 Sep '12

All, Before I get started down this path again, I'd like to know if anyone has a clean list of commands to build FreeSWITCH 1.2 debs on a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. It seems that everything out there has issues. I'm trying to get to the place where I can say, "Run these commands and you're sure to have working (and up to date) .debs." When I get an exact list of commands put together, I'll be sure to update the wiki. The build process can be slow and I'm just looking to save some time. Again, if you have anything, let me know. Best, Gabe

Some questions from a relative newbie
by D'Arcy Cain 23 Sep '12

23 Sep '12

Hello. Long time listener, first time caller. I have a few questions but I will split them up into different emails for the benefit of future mailing list searches. I just wanted to introduce myself first and explain what I am trying to do in case someone has some general advice for me. I own and run a small ISP up here in Toronto, Canada. One of my offerings recently has been VOIP through another provider. I have decided to bite the bullet and have set up my own switch (Freeswitch, of course) and connected it to an aggregator, VOIP Innovations. I have a home grown billing system that I use to provision other parts of my ISP and I am going to do the same with VOIP. I have cron jobs that check the database and, if necessary, rebuild certain configuration files and reload them. That works with the basic stuff I am doing so far. I am running on FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE. As I am also a NetBSD developer I would like to move it over but FreeBSD has a port and NetSBD does not yet have a package for Freeswitch. I will probably be looking at creating one eventually. And here is my first question. I have worked around this but I am curious. Has the behaviour of fs_cli under error conditions been changed recently? It seems to me that an earlier version worked with FreeBSD's startup script but 1.2.3 fails. The issue is a command issued by the script: /usr/local/bin/fs_cli -x "sofia recover" The problem is that the command is issued before the switch is actually running. I am not sure what good that is. Since it fails, the startup script doesn't complete and the switch never starts. I have fixed the script so that this command runs properly but I was wondering why the switch even started up before. Did fs_cli use to always return success no matter what? Cheers. -- D'Arcy J.M. Cain System Administrator, Vex.Net http://www.Vex.Net/ IM:darcy@Vex.Net

FreeSwitch not Processing calls (B-Leg) until restart
by Mike Burlingame 23 Sep '12

23 Sep '12

I had an issue today not sure if anyone else has seen this and would be willing to share some information if you have - Today FreeSwitch stopped processing calls correctly the A-Leg of the call would come into FreeSwitch - i see the notice for the new channel however no sip signaling was sent out for the B-Leg - I could not do any debug because fs_cli was locked up, force quoting fs_cli and restarting it yielded seeing the sip signaling however as soon as I type anything at the prompt fs_cli would lock again. The only resolution was to restart the FreeSwitch process and everything worked as expected again. Has anyone else seen anything like this using git's from Sept 14th?

Change the DID
by rsaavedra＠ecogizmos.com 22 Sep '12

22 Sep '12

Hello, I have a problem with the DID of a SIP trunk between our central office(using Trixbox) and the new branch in the same city (using FreeSWITCH). When a call is made from FreeSWITCH to the Trixbox, the Trixbox receives $1 in the DID (FROM-DID variable). How can I specified a different value for the DID? Thank you, Ricardo Saavedra

Mod xml curl and mod dingaling
by Peter van Raamsdonk 22 Sep '12

22 Sep '12

Hi all, I'm setting up FreeSwitch and I'm using mod xml curl. I catch all calls and redirect them (post from Freeswitch to my servlet) to my handler. I give all 'sip' extension configurations dynamically back in xml. How does the complete configuration look of a basic Gtalk client? http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Dingaling#Sample_Configuration_.28Google.29 Can you include the extension in the client profile? Kind regards, Peter Ps, is it also possible to stop automatic posts to my handler? I want to be able to control this manually by runing for example "reloadacl" command.

http://blog.krisk.org/2012/09/freeswitch-stable-branch-sponsored-by.html If you don't know Kris, he is the original creator of Astlinux... check out his blog post. And, now I can say thanks to Kris and the rest of the Star2Star crew for sponsoring the FreeSWITCH stable branch and me personally. Without companies like Star2Star, I wouldn't be working on FreeSWITCH full time and several other full time developers would be part time developers! Thanks to all and read Kris' blog.
