[Voiceglue] VoiceGlue not starting correctly

[LATEEF, IRFAN, ATTSI]

Doug,
Thanks!
Finally I got the earlier mentioned configuration up and running with
voiceglue 0.8

If you are using Asterisk/FreePBX combination you need to do the
following.

1. Configure the phoneglue extension in the
/etc/asterisk/extensions_custom.conf file

2. Add the phoneglue extension (say phoneglue-1 ) in the FreePBX custom
extensions

3. Create a custom destination ( say voiceglue-1 ) in FreePBX
4. Add the extension phoneglue-1 to custom destinations in FreePBX
5.Go to Misc Application in FreePBX and create a application called (
say voiceGlueTesting )

6. In this application(voiceGlueTesting) you will the custom destination
(voiceGlue-1)  in the destination section, set it to this value
7. Choose a free feature code ( say *33 in my case ) and click submit
8. Now save the configuration and load and restart asterisk from the
FreePBX GUI.

9. Now start the dynlog, and go to the voiceglue top level directory and
type ./dynlog/dynlog_level 7 ( this set the debug level to max)

10. Make sure you have the permissions for all the directories set to
rwx in the following path.
    /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/voiceglue/url
    My installation had the asterisk directory rwx for owner/root only ,
so phone could not reach url directory and could not start.

11. Start phoneglue and voiceglue as mentioned in the user guide.

12. From any extension on the asterisk dial  *33 and it will go to the
Vxml and send voice prompts as per the XML.

Hope this helps. This should go in some how-to-configure-and-test
voiceGlue with asterisk extensions and FreePBX.

Thanks,
Irfan Lateef

Looks like you may have several issues going on here.

First, 0.8 was never verified to work on the RedHat
distributions by me, but I have heard of some success.

Second, you have to take the services up and down in
the proper order.  The voiceglue service depends on
the phoneglue service.

Third, there seems to be a permission issue under
the /var/lib/asterisk/sounds directory.

Unfortunately, installing voiceglue on RedHat distributions
is not foolproof at the moment, but I'm working to
correct that.
