Folks, I'm trying to get Asterisk to load my voicemail configuration from MySQL. I've followed the instructions at:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+voicemail+database I restarted Asterisk, but no luck: the voicemail.conf does not get updated. I started with a sample voicemail.conf that I found on the Wiki. Or was it from Voicepulse? I can't remember. For initial testing, I added extensions 9999 and 100 in the [voicepulse_connect_context] with appropriate settings in extensions.conf to direct incoming calls to those mailboxes, and that works. I was expecting that after I added in the db details, reloading or restarting Asterisk would add the new extension from MySQL's 'users' table into the voicemail.conf. It doesn't. As soon as I type 1111 (the beginning of the mailbox and also the extension number), I get the message: *CLI> Feb 11 08:38:38 WARNING[5224]: app_voicemail.c:1539 leave_voicemail: No entry in voicemail config file for '1111' If I add a line for 1111 into my voicemail.conf, all works well. Please help me understand what is going on here! Thanks, Maya. --- My configuration --- My 'users' table has 1 row only, for testing purposes: +---------------------------+------------+----------+--------------+-------------------+-------+------------+----------------+ | context | mailbox | password | fullname | email | pager | options | stamp | +---------------------------+------------+----------+--------------+-------------------+-------+------------+----------------+ | voicemail_connect_context | 1111 | 1234 | Moron Tester | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | attach=yes | 00000000000000 | +---------------------------+------------+----------+--------------+-------------------+-------+------------+----------------+ -- The appropriate settings from extensions.conf: [voicepulse_connect_context] ; <-- Should match the context you have ; under [voicepulse-in-01] in iax.conf exten => 100,1,Playback(tt-monkeys) exten => 100,2,Record(/tmp/asterisk-recording:gsm) ;exten => 100,3,Wait(2) exten => 100,3,Playback(/tmp/asterisk-recording) ;exten => 100,5,Wait(2) exten => 9999,1,Playback(transfer,skip) exten => 9999,2,VoiceMail,u9999 exten => 9999,102,VoiceMail,b9999 exten => 1111,1,VoiceMail,u1111 -- My complete voicemail.conf looks like this: ; ; Voicemail Configuration ; [general] ; Default formats for writing Voicemail ;format=g723sf|wav49|wav format=wav49|gsm|wav ; Who the e-mail notification should appear to come from [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; Should the email contain the voicemail as an attachment attach=yes ; Maximum length of a voicemail message in seconds ;maxmessage=180 ; Minimum length of a voicemail message in seconds ;minmessage=3 ; Maximum length of greetings in seconds ;maxgreet=60 ; How many miliseconds to skip forward/back when rew/ff in message playback skipms=3000 ; How many seconds of silence before we end the recording maxsilence=10 ; Silence threshold (what we consider silence, the lower, the more sensitive) silencethreshold=128 ; Max number of failed login attempts maxlogins=3 ; If you need to have an external program, i.e. /usr/bin/myapp ; called when a voicemail is left, delivered, or your voicemailbox ; is checked, uncomment this: ;externnotify=/usr/bin/myapp ; If you need to have an external program, i.e. /usr/bin/myapp ; called when a voicemail password is changed, ; uncomment this: ;externpass=/usr/bin/myapp ; For the directory, you can override the intro file if you want ;directoryintro=dir-intro ; The character set for voicemail messages can be specified here ;charset=ISO-8859-1 ; The ADSI feature descriptor number to download to ;adsifdn=0000000F ; The ADSI security lock code ;adsisec=9BDBF7AC ; The ADSI voicemail application version number. ;adsiver=1 ; Skip the "[PBX]:" string from the message title pbxskip=yes ; Change the From: string fromstring=The Asterisk PBX ; ;Change the From: string for pager messages ;pagerfromstring=The Asterisk PBX ; ; Change the email body and/or subject, variables: ; VM_NAME, VM_DUR, VM_MSGNUM, VM_MAILBOX, VM_CALLERID, VM_DATE ; ; Note: The emailbody config row can be up to 512 characters due to a limitation in ; asterisk config files. ;emailsubject=New VM (${VM_MSGNUM}) - ${VM_DUR} long in mailbox ${VM_MAILBOX} from ${VM_CALLERID} emailbody=Dear ${VM_NAME}:\n\n\tjust wanted to let you know you were just left a ${VM_DUR} long message (number ${VM_MSGNUM})\nin mailbox ${VM_MAILBOX} from ${VM_CALLERID}, on ${VM_DATE} so you might\nwant to check it when you get a chance.
