Can't Enable Sangoma Desktop Phone Login

Running Freepbx 16.30.0 with 40 Sangoma Connect licenses. The Sangoma connect app for smartphones works fine. However I was trying to enable the desktop app for a user and got this error:

  • A mandatory rpm package (‘asteriskXX.X-freepbx_asterisk_modules’ - XX.X stands for your asterisk version) is missing. Please visit the Wiki to find the RPM corresponds to your running version of asterisk and install the package and then execute 'asterisk -rx “core restart now” command to load the configuration.

All updates have been installed. I am unable to get this to work.

Hi @datacare please open a support ticket at help.sangoma.com. When done, please DM your ticket ID. I’ll have support look at it ASAP.

Thanks for using FreePBX

What version of asterisk are you running? My recollection of how to easily add those packages was to simply update asterisk. I think you can technically bring the needed packages into older versions (like asterisk 16 I think) but bumping up to the latest LTS 22.x should bring those missing rpm packages in too.

Just run the following as root and you should be able to upgrade.

Obviously, make sure you’re not utilizing a deprecated feature before upgrading…

This system is running Asterisk 16.30.0
