Call Monitoring empty

Call monitoring shows no call records and no call recordings, can someone point me in the right direction as to why that may be?

Sounds like you dont have mysql_cdr setup for asterisk. What distro did you use to install FreePBX?

not sure how to check. where do i need to go to see which distro i am using?

How did you install the system? Distro is short for “Distribution” he is asking if you used or disk. PBX in a Flash, Asterisk Now, Elastix or God forbid trixbox.

Also can you post the output of ‘cdr show status’ and ‘cdy mysql show status’

the easy install available on this site.

What do you mean the easy install from this site. That is not Asterisk Now.

Do you have a link to what you are referring to?

http://www.schmoozecom.com/distro-download.php

That is not what you just said. You said you Installed Asterisk Now.

What do you seen when you do this.

cat /etc/asterisk/freepbxdistro-version

i must be doing something wrong!

You also did not send the info from the command I asked for.

If the FreePBX distro file is not in that directory then you did not install software from this site. Are you sure you did not make any typo’s?

Post the entire contents of the /etc/asterisk directory with the [code]tags[/code] so we can read it. It should look like this:

Yes i have the file but when i try to run it gives me permission denied

Ok that means you are not using the FreePBX Distro but AsteriskNow with FreePBX GUI. They do not set the CDRs for MySQL and do not provide packages anymore for doing so. Not sure how to get it working without actually going through the process and seeing what it would take.

I suggest the easiest way woudl be to download and install the actual FreePBX Distro not AsteriskNOW

Saladdin the other incredibly annoying thing is you wasted the time of two people because you can’t follow directions and did not even know what software you installed.

1 - I could barely read your post as you did not use the tags like I asked you to

2 - You never posted the output of the Asterisk commands I requested

If you want help in forums you need to post accurate information and follow directions. If you can’t do that you are not going to have a good experience with Open Source software.
