[Voiceglue] Voiceglue Digest, Vol 20, Issue 5

[Ramji Nagariya]

Thanks a lot Robby. I am using Debain. Voiceglue 0.9. I compiled voiceglue
the hard way mentioned in installation guide (using source).

I solved problem by changing user "asterisk" to "root" in following files:

Shell script:
/etc/init.d/voiceglue
Perl script:
/usr/bin/voiceglue
I will aslo try adding user asterisk.


Now I can play tts (using flite) or audio file over phone using simple vxml
program.
But I am unable to use even simple DTMF Menu. It plays a tts over phone: "A
serious error has occured. Exiting".

*Program: dtmfmenu.vxml*

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<vxml version="2.0">


  <menu id="dayselection">
    <prompt>
      Press 1 for Monday and 2 for Tuesday.
    </prompt>
    <choice dtmf="1" next="#monday"/>
    <choice dtmf="2" next="#tuesday"/>
  </menu>

  <form id="monday">
    <block>
      Thanks, you selected Monday.
    </block>
  </form>

  <form id="tuesday">
    <block>
      Thanks, you selected Tuesday.
    </block>
  </form>
</vxml>


*This is output at asterisk CLI:*
