Hi
I am using freepbx 2.2.1
I have my all extensions configured with voicemail (with the default voicemail greeting).
By default, after no answer/unavailable/busy, the call should go to the extensions voicemail.
In my case, after “no answer”, the call is blank and not playing the default voicemail message. After No Answer, the time when the voicemail message should be played, the call is showing as established and remains blank.
Can anyone please help me on this…
Many Thanks
vinod
Have you verified that a recording has been recorded and saved for the extension. Can you connect to voicemail from that extension and playback the greeting?
The lack of details is hurting helping you. You are also using a old version of FreePBX that is no longer being supported.

Hi fskrotzki,
Thanks for your reply.
Have you verified that a recording has been recorded and saved for the extension.
I use the default FreePBX voicemail Unavailable message without any custom greeting recorded.
Can you connect to voicemail from that extension and playback the greeting?
Yes. I can login to the voicemail from that extension by dialing *97 or *98.
But the caller cannot reach to the extensions voicemail. i.e. the voicemail unavailable message is not played to caller.
On my other (voicemail working)Freepbx systems, the CLI shows…
"
Playing(…The Person at extn
Playing(…
Playing(…
…
WaitExtn
…
"
But the faulty server’s CLI is not showing like the one above
The reason for using FreePBX 2.2.1 is, the FreePBX backup taken is a 2.2 version.
There were some errors when restoring the 2.2 backup on the latest stable version. So I thought to restore it on a 2.2.1.
I’ve shown my CLI outputs, voicemail contexts & voicemail.conf below.

When i was looking at the directories, i was stunned to see no voicemail directory inside /var/spool/asterisk/.
I think this must be the cause for my voicemail issue.
Before I started face this issue,I have restored my configuration backup on a newly installed Freepbx 2.2.1. The backup taken contains only the “System Configuration” and not the “Voicemail”, “System Recordings”, “CDR” and “Operator Panel”.
Will this caused the problem?
If so, how do i make asterisk to create the Voicemail directory and other sub-directories inside it.
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards
Vinod
Finally i came up with a solution.
I manually created the voicemail directory and changed the ownership to asterisk using
chown -R asterisk:asterisk /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail
Now everything works fine.
The Sub-directories are created automatically when calling by asterisk then.
Thanks & Regards
Vinod
Dial *97 to access to My Voicemail. After inserted the password,
as soon as you start hearing the operator voice press " 0 " and follow the propmts to record your personal message
1 for unavailable message
2 for busy message
3 for your name
4 for temporary greeting
