Installing apt-swift

[wvroger]

i have followed the directions on the nerdvittles website without success. the app_swift.so is not loading.

I am running asterisk 1.4.13 do I need to upgrade?

Thanks

I'm running into a similar problem.

root@pbx:/usr/src/app_swift-0.9.1 $ asterisk -rx "core show application swift"
Your application(s) is (are) not registered
root@pbx:/usr/src/app_swift-0.9.1 $

same problem....
Your application(s) is (are) not registered.

order i did it in.
update-scripts
update-fixes
update-source

then did nerdvittle install as instructed.
I could hear the message "hello world" across usb headset but same error message came up about not being being registered when i continued down instructions.

Do we need to be actually registed to not get this message?

To test the install process i reverted to a old snapshot (in vmware ) and redid the entire process. During this snapshot reversion i appeared to have hosed my host OS windows vista 64 ultimate as i cannot use the keyboard or mouse now at all. will work on my probably unrelated host os problem and see if i can get pbxinaflash up and working again. I believe my usb has caused some random error and i will take me a bit to sort it out.

unplugging and replugging in ps2 and usb devices as we speak ...

ok host computer is up and working again.

pbxinaflash is up and working again. Appears plugging in a usb headset that was working in pbxinaflash before caused all kinds of errors.

to fix it i had to shut down the host machine unplug all ps2 and usb devices. boot KVM (as in kick it across room). didnt help had to continue ...
shutdown 2nd computer on kvm and reboot KVM (as in pick up the kvm and kicked it again across room) and voila everything is happy again.

Now where was I ... oh yeah ..... swift install .... i was just installing a few applications in 1.4 before i tried doing a 1.6 asterisk install .... hummm i think i will just wait a bit on the 1.6 trial ...

DISCLAIMER !!!... this was a dramitization ... no KVM switch was actually harmed during the making of this forum post!!!

I'm running into a similar problem.

Code:

root@pbx:/usr/src/app_swift-0.9.1 $ asterisk -rx "core show application swift" Your application(s) is (are) not registered root@pbx:/usr/src/app_swift-0.9.1 $

Same here...

Well, there were a couple of problems. Thanks for the feedback. Log into your server as root and issue the command: ldconfig

Next, that damn WordPress treatment of quotes bit us in the butt again. Fancy quotes are not the same as regular quotes, nor is the fancy apostrophe the same. So issue these commands:

sed -i 's|David-8kHz|Allison-8kHz|' /etc/asterisk/swift.conf
amportal restart
asterisk -rx "core show application swift"

If you still have problems, post another message. Thanks again for feedback.

SUCCESS!!

Thanks Uncle Ward.

Instead of doing the whole thing over again I did the 'ldconfig' then I did this:

cp /usr/src/app_swift-0.9.1/swift.conf.sample /etc/asterisk/swift.conf

Just to reset the config file before re-running the 'sed' command.

That worked just fine for me.

You know your the greatest, right Ward?

[wardmundy]

Allison just keeps telling me that over and over. What a great girl.

Anyone know how I could make swift read a file on disk from the dialplan? I'd like to be able to edit the spoken text from a webpage.
(without the danger of breaking the dialplan... )
