Adding IVR menus
by Sean Devoy 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

Hi, I have added a new IVR menu in conf/autoload_configs/ivr.conf.xml but I keep getting unknown menu errors. Reloadxml does not seem to help. Do I have to restart FS to load new IVR menus? Sean

Am I the only one?
by Francis 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

I was having trouble with starting freeswitch the usual way: ~# service freeswitch start because of an error in one of the configs. So I decided to run it manually from the command line so I could see the error output. And guess what? That causes the databases to be owned by root! Of course, this means that freeswitch will ALWAYS fail when starting as a service because it can't access the database. I only confirmed this after doing: ~# su - freeswitch -s /bin/bash and starting freeswitch again, which presented the tell-tale read only errors that I was suspecting. It also started a race condition,with freeswitch endlessly trying (and failing) to write to core.db. I also discovered that using php-ssh to access files does the same thing, after using Pydio to view logs and suddenly they were owned by root as well. The solution I've gone with is: 1. Give ownership and SGID of all web-accessible files to www-data 2. Add freeswitch to the www-data group 3. Always 'su - freeswitch' if I want to run freeswitch directly to see errors from the shell I'm not sure if that's the best way, but it's working well so far. I'm also finding Pydio and Gate One are a great combination for a purely web managed freeswitch install. Francis

Terminating ZRTP call over two FS's bridge.
by Assaf Dahary 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

Hi, I have two FS's (FS1, FS2) with ZRTP enable in two sites. I can make end-to-end ZRTP calls between two CSipSimple/ZRTP clients over the two FS's bridge where both FS's are set to 'proxy_media=true'. CSipSimple -> FS1 ---Internet -à FS2 -> CSipSimple. Now I connected a PBX to each FS with SIP-Trunk. PBX -> FS1 ------- FS2 -> PBX. When calling locally from CSipSimple to a PBX extension on the same FS then the ZRTP is terminated by the FS as MITM which is OK (FS dialplan 'proxy_media=false'). What I cannot figure out is how to terminate ZRTP call between CSipSimple/FS1 and FS2/PBX.ext and vice versa. CSipSimple -> FS1 ------- FS2 -> PBX.ext. I've tried to setup: FS1 with 'proxy_media=true' (passthrough ZRTP) + FS2 with 'proxy_media=false' (terminate ZRTP). OR FS1 and FS2 with 'proxy_media=false' . All results with ' ZRTP not negotiated on both sides; disabling ZRTP passthru mode'. Any help will be appreciated. Regards Assaf

Inisdeout vs Vanilla config

I'm just curious about the difference between the two - in terms of functionality and purpose. Are the configs all the same, or are some altered? Cheers!

Bypass media mode with "intercept" application
by FSX . 29 Apr '14

29 Apr '14

I'm trying to use GV callback feature in FS and having trouble with making it work in bypass media mode. Incoming calls are working well. Call comes to public context, then it's transferred to local domain context. Then it goes via: <action application="set" data="bypass_media=true"/><action application="bridge" data="..."/>RTP streams directly between remote SIP (caller party) and local SIP client, as it should be by design (calls have better audio quality and don't use resources of local SIP server). Now, I try to do the same when I use GV callback feature. Local dial plan (as recommended in Google Voice API) sets hash with current "uuid" and runs system call to make callback. Then in public context dial plan incoming call is accepted, using "intercept" application with saved "uuid". Exactly as it's recommended. It's working well, but in this case I can't get bypass mode whatever I try to do. * I tried to set "bypass_media=true" before run system call to make callback * I tried to set "bypass_media_after_bridge=true=true" before run system call to make callback * I tried to export those variables from leg A to incoming call (leg B) * I tried to set it before executing "intercept" application on incoming call * I tried to apply global setting to make sure that FS is always using bypass mode ("inbound-proxy-media" set to "true" in "sip_profiles\internal.xml") Nothing works so far... FS always ignores those settings and proxies RTP stream. How to use bypass media mode in this scenario? Thank you in advance

Why is loopback required to originate from endpoints registered on multiple profiles?
by Alex Crow 29 Apr '14

29 Apr '14

Hi, Is it part of the implementation of sofia that means, even with a shared reg and presence db, that if I have the same extension registered on both the default profile and a NAT profile, that originate user/1000 <destno> seems to only ring one of the registered endpoints (and it seems so far random which one rings), while originate loopback/1000 <destno> and for an existing call bridge user/1000 happily rings both endpoints? Cheers Alex

OS X Wiki Updates March 2014
by Mario G 29 Apr '14

29 Apr '14

Posting here for interested parties and in case someone searches for OS X here. I finally completed the long over due 10.9 (I waited for Xcode 5.1) as well as updated all the installation pages. I intended to update the main page a lot but it has to wait for now. The install updates were overdue, many changes (some listed below) to make them better. As usual, I tested everything I wrote. Yes… I actually now have 8 different partitions for testing, 10.6 through 10.9 times two (one for homebrew one for alternate script testing). That is why I don't do macports, I would need 4 more partitions since I have to test them all! Homebrew has been perfect for FreeSwitch. I have been working since Dec to develop these changes and testing. Hope they help you! Mario G Changes to the Main OS X Page http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Installation_and_Setup_on_OS_X * Updated test dates as usual * Added 10.9 link * Added info about test systems (fresh installs) Install Pages OS X 10.9 installation of prerequisites and FreeSwitch http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Installation_on_OS_X_10.9_Mavericks * New page. * New procedure to obtain Command Line Tools. OS X 10.8 installation of prerequisites and FreeSwitch http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Installation_on_OS_X_10.8_Mountain_Lion * Changes to bring info up to date. * Many changes to enhance readability and understanding. * Xcode now points directly to Xcode in app store for download. * Homebrew and alternate install clarification. OS X 10.7 installation of prerequisites and FreeSwitch http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Installation_on_OS_X_10.7_Lion * Changes to bring info up to date. * Many changes to enhance readability and understanding. * Xcode 4.6 changes since removal from app store. * Homebrew and alternate install clarification. * Warning about mod_v8 removal.
