[Astlinux-users] Astlinux 0.6.3 Some strange issues please help
Hi All, I finally took the plunge and installed the net5501 img onto a 1 GB CF, which runs on an Alix1c board I have experience the following. When I try to run create UnionFS I with the following method. pbx ~ # fdisk /dev/hda The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1986. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Command (m for help): n Command action e extended p primary partition (1-4) p Partition number (1-4): 2 First cylinder (261-1986, default 261): 261 Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (261-1986, default 1986): +128M Command (m for help): w The partition table has been altered!

Hi Cleve When you are trying to login, which account and password are you using. The default root password after a clean installation is astlinux. As far as your TDM card goes , have you set the ZAPMODS variable in /mnt/kd/rc.conf ? Have you setup the configuration the card for the (assuming you are using ZAP rather than DAHDI) in /mnt/kd/zapatel.conf and /mnt/kd/asterisk/zapata.conf.

Hi Cleve to be clear my hardware is a TDM400 with two FXO (Red PSTN line) daughter boards. These settings apply to this configuration. If yours is greatly different then you should investigate some more. Also, I am running in the UK so my settings have been adjusted accordingly, you may have to make further tweaks to fine tune for your locale/country. These should not affect your TDM setup though. 1. /mnt/kd/zaptel.conf. Note no comment lines allowed in this file. My FXOs are in positions 2 and 3 (1 and 4 are empty).

Hi Cleve I would not necessarily expect to see zaptel.conf, but in the past the zaptata.conf has been present. Do you see any errors during startup? What happens if you run ztcfg -vv One thing which might be different is that I based my rc.conf on my 0.6.2 rc.conf, not the one which came with 0.6.3. But I am really clutching at straws here. Can anyone comment on whether DAHDI has actually meant to have replaced ZAP in 0.6.3 and the only reason it runs for me is that my rc.conf is 0.6.2 based ? regards Mart Cleveland Electronic Services wrote: Hi Mart, Thanks for your persistence, I have checked and rechecked the settings and they are all the same as your except the following.

Hi Phil in the past I have done this process from a command prompt by first copying the contents of the tar file onto a USB stick and then mounting this device on the target host, and simply copying the files across to the os directory. regards Mart Phil McKerracher wrote: Sorry to be thick, but could someone expand the steps to upgrade to 0.6.3, using only a command prompt on my AstLinux device? Or better still create a batch file that just does it? I'm starting from a standard 0.6.2 image on a CF card with plenty of room. For example, in the instructions below, step 1 is clear (does it matter which directory I'm in to start with, though?) but step 2 presumably involves ftp or wget and finding a suitable writeable location on the CF card. 1.

Re: [Astlinux-users] Astlinux 0.6.3 Some strange issues TDM card not working
Some time ago I struggled with this as well, and found, as you did, that the file had to be moved to /etc But at startup, have you uncommented the reference in rc.conf It seems, through this transition period from 4.8 to .5 to .6.x that there are still some lines in rc.conf that are used, while others are ignored or over ridden. To those of us who do not sleep and drink Astlinux, this can become very confusing. In the future, would it be possible for rc.conf to either completely go away, or if it is necessary that obsolete lines be removed. Also, for those of us not using this as a router as well, simply an Asterisk machine, the references needed for a multi port Ethernet machine can result in even more confusion. I have yet to find/make time to move to 0.6.3, have mostly worked with the now considered obsolete 0.5, managed toget one machine up and running with 0.6.1 and a single port T1 card on an HP thin Client T5720, and I have to say, one agein : NICE JOB! Especially love the web interface, which seems to evolve at lightning speed. Final comment in my ramble: I bought an ALIX board, 1d, and am singularly unimpressed with it. Perhaps the units with dual or triple Ethernet ports for use as a router are OK, but this one has poor video, and though I was able to boot with a CF card created on a thin client, I was unable to boot with my USB stick DSL to then create a CF card. The DC adapter connection used a larger pin than any of the supplies I had, so I had to change it. The small case is well made, though this case makes the PCI slot unusable. For pure Asterisk/Astlinux purposes, any of the HP thin clients with a large flash is certainly, IMO, a better choice.

[Astlinux-users] 0.6.3 dnsmasq (maybe) problems.
I have a couple of problems that has just started happening with my migration from 0.6.2 to 0.6.3 and likely caused by the move to arno firewall. I have a port forward set up to forward requests to port 88 from the external interface to a server on my LAN. When connecting from outside my home this works just fine. However, if I am on the LAN (inside my home) and I try and connect to this server by using a URL that resolves to the external IP address, then it fails to connect. This used to work. Am I missing some configuration setting? Also, DNS resolution is failing for the domain that I configure in the 'network' tab of the web interface. For example, if I set hostname to 'pbx' and domain to 'me.dyndns.org' then any attempt to resolve the URL ' me.dyndns.org' from devices connected to the LAN fails... nslookup says can't find me.dyndns.org : Non-existant domain It should resolve (and does if I replace the domain with something bogus). These both used to work on 0.6.2 and are now broken. I consider them critical bugs (or misconfiguration problems).

Lonnie, A couple of things that I think would be useful additions to the web interface... 1) a restore from backup (upload a previous tar.gz, optionally unpack it to restore previous configuration). With due warnings that perhaps a backup of current configuration should be taken before restoring to previous version! And, 2) a choice to halt the system in addition to a reboot. I need this to prep for removing a CF card. This should definitely have one (or more) warnings as an accidental halt on a remotely managed system might be a problem !

Re: [Astlinux-users] 0.6.3 dnsmasq (maybe) problems.
Yes, I was using STATHOSTS to resolve the URL that I have forwarded to an internal server... stathosts was setup with the actual internal IP address. The Configure DNS Hosts sub tab should resolve that. I did not have an entry for my.dyndns.org in the old setup, but it looks like I need to set it up now to point to 192.168.1.1, easy enough.

This I only discovered since the assistance from Martin Rogers, when he posted his configurations. I have created the necessary sym link, but still at powerup or reboot the TDM card is not detected and I have to manually run modprobe wctdm for some reason wherever the script is to probe for this card and powerup/bootup/reboot is not doing its job. Another thing I noticed also after a reboot/powerup if you use the Asterisk wed gui and click on the detect hardware tab the page comes up ok and shows no analogue hardware, so if you click on any other tab and go back and click on the detect hardware tab the whole system hangs, you loose your putty connection, https the lot.

Re: [Astlinux-users] Documentation for Zaptel and other functions (was TDM card not working)
Hi Darrick, Thanks for the prompt reply, your solution 1. Below worked perfect (now where were you hiding yesterday) I was scratching my head till 3 am this morning, I can now go to bed finally. But I seem to have a new issue now I cannot access my Asterisk GUI when I go http://myip:8088/asterisk/static/config/index.html , I get the following error.
