“No Conference Room App”: Neither app_meetme nor app_confbridge is configured in Asterisk, conferencing, paging and other functionality will not work properly.
Meetme is not installed (I’m not using DAHDI with this installation). On Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Conference Room App, I’ve configured app_confbridge.
Is confbridge loaded, check from the Asterisk CLI:
CLI> module show like app_confbridge.so
Module Description Use Count Status Support Level
app_confbridge.so Conference Bridge Application 0 Running core
1 modules loaded
pbxtest*CLI> module show like app_confbridge.so
Module Description Use Count Status Support Level
app_confbridge.so Conference Bridge Application 0 Not Running core
1 modules loaded
pbxtest*CLI>
I have noticed it. But “Not running” means that it is not loaded or it is loaded and it was not being used at that time (because there was not an ongoing conference)?
Well, it seems that is not the second case because I did a similar test with chan_pjsip and despite not having ongoing calls the status was “Running”. So should I activate confbridge using some option of FreePBX?
Hey guys, I came with same issue.
After I looked the error on Dashboard “Neither app_meetme nor app_confbridge is configured in Asterisk”, I was checking app_confbridge.so module was on asterisk.
It was on modules dir, but not loaded. After trying to load, I get notice that no /etc/confbridge.conf can be loaded, there wasn’t the file.
If I create an empty confbridge.conf file it loads, but I think is not working of course and error on FreePBX Dashboard persist.
pbxtest*CLI> module show like app_confbridge.so
Module Description Use Count Status Support Level
app_confbridge.so Conference Bridge Application 0 Not Running core
1 modules loaded
I’ve restarted the LXC container and now the module was automatically started. After some time, I see that the error has disappeared from FreePBX saying now: “System Alerts: No critical issues found”. But I’m not sure if the module was automatically started because I added it manually on Admin->Asterisk Modules->Preloaded Modules.
After it, on Freepbx, Admin, Asterisk modules, you can add there (app_confbridge.so).
I don’t remember now what more I did (I think nothing else) and after that the error on Dashboard went away.
I hope that help.
BTW, are you from LATAM? speak spanish or portugues? let me know by prirv. thanks
This file should be getting added from the conferences module. If you look in /var/www/html/admin/modules/conferences/etc you will see it in there. This file should be getting symlinked.
On the other hand, these was the steps I took to install Asterisk:
root@pbxtest:/usr/src/asterisk# makemenuselect
root@pbxtest:/usr/src/asterisk# make
root@pbxtest:/usr/src/asterisk# make install
root@pbxtest:/usr/src/asterisk# make config (init script)
root@pbxtest:/usr/src/asterisk# make install-logrotate
root@pbxtest:/usr/src/asterisk# ldconfig
root@pbxtest:/usr/src/asterisk# update-rc.d -f asterisk remove
I think there is an option of make, make samples, but I thought it was not recommended for use with FreePBX. Maybe that make samples copies to /etc/asterisk the configuration file for Confbridge.
I never ran make samples in the installation of Asterisk because I remembered reading that it was not advisable with FreePBX.
Thanks for the suggestion. I installed the “Conferences” module with its dependencies (“Recordings”, which in turn depends on “Soundlang”) and now I see the mentioned files:
