    Incredible PBX w/ GTalk Works!

    So I'm just curious, if I were to go and do a full reinstall tonight or tomorrow, would all these fixes be included (not that it would be that hard to make them, as I say, just curious as to how quickly fixes get incorporated into the "payload" you get when you run the ISO installer).

    Going to abandon PiaF install on remote VMware system

    Sure, if someone else has a spare VM they want to provide for free! :D Otherwise, not in the foreseeable future.

    Going to abandon PiaF install on remote VMware system

    Yes, but there are helpful responses, and then there are non-helpful responses. It's as if I said, "I'm not going to fly anywhere because I don't want to be X-rayed or groped by a TSA agent", and someone responded, "There's an easy solution to that: Buy your own private jet." While the response...

    Going to abandon PiaF install on remote VMware system

    No problem, Ward, I just wanted to emphasize the fact that my control is limited. The only control I have is over what package to install under VMware. I don't have sufficient access to that machine to put up different VM software, even if I wanted to. My comment about snow reports was just...

    Going to abandon PiaF install on remote VMware system

    That may be a really good idea. Since some people seem to think that PiaF will not play well on VMware, and since that's what I have to use, maybe that's my choice. WHAT client? There's no "client" involved here. No, this is like so many argument on various forums where one or more...

    Going to abandon PiaF install on remote VMware system

    I doubt it. As far as I know there are only three VM's on it (mine included) and one is explicitly a test machine. Don't know what the other one is but I'd b surprised if it's sucking all the CPU cycles. Offhand I don't know, and I don't know how to tell, but next time I'm into that system...

    Going to abandon PiaF install on remote VMware system

    Ward, It's NOT MY SERVER. I DO NOT have the freedom or ability to install something else! Got it? Sorry, but your constant beating of the drum for Proxmox (which I've never even heard of other than in this forum) is getting kinda irritating. Did it ever occur to you that maybe there IS a bug...

    Going to abandon PiaF install on remote VMware system

    jkiel, that all actually made sense, except for the part about '"Y" on the first prompt' because the first prompt was for a path. I just let it use the defaults. Just for reference, I now know that this server is a "VMware ESX Server 3i" and that it had been incorrectly set to think it was...

    Going to abandon PiaF install on remote VMware system

    If you're asking me, my responses would be all of the following: 1) No 2) What's VMware tools? 3) Is it something you would install under CentOS? (Again, pointing out that I don't own the server, so can only get to my VM, not the underlying machine). 4) What does it do that would be helpful to...

    Going to abandon PiaF install on remote VMware system

    In my case I have no idea what the underlying server is running although it would be a safe bet that it's some form of Linux. As I said, I don't own the server. But I have to ask, what did you have to do (if anything) to make it run reliably? It doesn't help much if it's always run well for...

    Going to abandon PiaF install on remote VMware system

    Tom, unfortunately in this case it's not my server so I don't have the choice of what to use - it has to be VMware (not that I would personally be any more knowledgeable about Proxmox). Thanks for the offer, but at this point if I can't get it to run reliably under VMware then it's off the table...

    Going to abandon PiaF install on remote VMware system

    I hope this doesn't come across as sour grapes or an insult, but since I've been rather active in some of the forums the last few days and weeks, I just wanted to let you know that I'm probably going to abandon the PiaF installation I've been helping with and try something else (not sure what...

    Fail2ban failing to ban?

    Well, since rebooting I've received ONE notice of a banned IP from fail2ban, so that's more than I've received in a week. But, I don't know if maybe the reboot fixed it, since I'm not sure how a bad rule (and those don't look bad except possibly for the fact there's no escape backslashes "\" in...

    Fail2ban failing to ban?

    Ward, it was this one, I think on the day it came out. And before that I applied this one.

    Google Voice Outbound Calling

    It's a known problem and Ward says they're working on it. However, as long as you can receive inbound calls from Gtalk without any problems, you can use a variation on an older method to keep you going (note this does NOT require a DID, Gizmo5 account, etc.). This is from a thread about...

    Fail2ban failing to ban?

    Ever since around the time I applied the last PiaF upgrade I have not received any more message from Fail2ban regarding break-in attempts, which I found a bit suspicious after a few days. So I checked the /var/log/secure log file and found that indeed, there had been hundreds of attempts, and...

    Incredible PBX w/ GTalk Works!

    I have edited my post here to include an alternate method for making outgoing calls in the current situation, where outgoing calls on the Gtalk channel fail, but incoming calls seem to work just fine. This is a mostly-borrowed variation on the "bridge" method, which as I noted above, doesn't...

    Incredible PBX w/ GTalk Works!

    Re: Using bridge rather than parking, on at least some systems it causes one-way audio. I know what you are probably thinking, it's a firewall issue, but trust me, it isn't. It appears to be one of those delightful little quirks of Asterisk that some folks encounter and others do not. In my...

    Incredible PBX w/ GTalk Works!

    Unless they are talking about something different from the normal Asterisk AGI stuff, it's already installed in a PiaF system. However, the agi files are placed in a different directory from what he's showing (PiaF uses /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin). I don't know python so I don't know if they...

    Incredible PBX w/ GTalk Works!

    The older method that uses a Gizmo5 account (or, I would assume, a DID) and the Parking Lot still appears to work. In theory, since incoming Gtalk calls still work, you could use the same method but just have the call come in via Gtalk rather than Gizmo. The only problem with that is that you...
