Pre-Asterisk v10 confBridge support inFreePBX?

Hi,

I installed an AsteriskNOW package awhile ago, with these versions:
CentOS 5.8
Asterisk 1.8.12.0
FreePBX 2.10.1.1

In FreePBX GUI’s Settings->Advanced Settings area, the Conference Room App is set to app_confbridge. I have tried changing to MeetMe but that is not loaded for some reason so it goes back to confbridge.

I create two conferences in the Applications->Conference Module (which is version 2.10.0.8 and is marked as up to date). I look in confbridge_additional.conf and meetme_additional.conf and do not see anything about these two conferences (1024 & 1025). Shouldn’t there be something configured in confbridge_additional.conf?

In extensions_additional.conf there are sections to support 1024/1025 in the dialplan, but there are references to STARTMEETME there, which I was not expecting. Here is what I see…

[ext-meetme]
include => ext-meetme-custom
exten => STARTMEETME,1,ExecIf($["${MEETME_MUSIC}" != “”]?Set(CHANNEL(musicclass)=${MEETME_MUSIC}))
exten => STARTMEETME,n,Set(GROUP(meetme)=${MEETME_ROOMNUM})
exten => STARTMEETME,n,GotoIf($[${MAX_PARTICIPANTS} > 0 && ${GROUP_COUNT(${MEETME_ROOMNUM}@meetme)}>${MAX_PARTICIPANTS}]?MEETMEFULL$
exten => STARTMEETME,n,Set(CONFBRIDGE_JOIN_SOUND=beep)
exten => STARTMEETME,n,Set(CONFBRIDGE_LEAVE_SOUND=beeperr)
exten => STARTMEETME,n,Set(CONFBRIDGE_JOIN_SOUND=beep)
exten => STARTMEETME,n,Set(CONFBRIDGE_LEAVE_SOUND=beeperr)
exten => STARTMEETME,n,ConfBridge(${MEETME_ROOMNUM},${MEETME_OPTS},${PIN})
exten => STARTMEETME,n,Hangup

exten => MEETMEFULL,1,Playback(im-sorry&conf-full&goodbye)
exten => MEETMEFULL,n,Hangup

exten => h,1,Hangup

exten => 1024,1,Macro(user-callerid,)
exten => 1024,n,Set(MEETME_ROOMNUM=1024)
exten => 1024,n,Set(MAX_PARTICIPANTS=0)
exten => 1024,n,Set(MEETME_MUSIC=${MOHCLASS})
exten => 1024,n,Gosub(sub-record-check,s,1(conf,1024,never))
exten => 1024,n,GotoIf($["${DIALSTATUS}" = “ANSWER”]?USER)
exten => 1024,n,Answer
exten => 1024,n,Wait(1)
exten => 1024,n(USER),Set(MEETME_OPTS=)
exten => 1024,n,Goto(STARTMEETME,1)

exten => 1025,1,Macro(user-callerid,)
exten => 1025,n,Set(MEETME_ROOMNUM=1025)
exten => 1025,n,Set(MAX_PARTICIPANTS=0)
exten => 1025,n,Set(MEETME_MUSIC=${MOHCLASS})
exten => 1025,n,Gosub(sub-record-check,s,1(conf,1025,never))
exten => 1025,n,GotoIf($["${DIALSTATUS}" = “ANSWER”]?READPIN)
exten => 1025,n,Answer
exten => 1025,n,Wait(1)
exten => 1025,n,Set(PINCOUNT=0)
exten => 1025,n(READPIN),Read(PIN,enter-conf-pin-number,)
exten => 1025,n,GotoIf($[x${PIN} = x1111]?USER)
exten => 1025,n,GotoIf($[x${PIN} = x9999]?ADMIN)
exten => 1025,n,Set(PINCOUNT=$[${PINCOUNT}+1])
exten => 1025,n,GotoIf($[${PINCOUNT}>3]?h)
exten => 1025,n,Playback(conf-invalidpin)
exten => 1025,n,Goto(READPIN)
exten => 1025,n(ADMIN),Set(MEETME_OPTS=aA)
exten => 1025,n,Goto(STARTMEETME,1)
exten => 1025,n(ADMIN),Set(MEETME_OPTS=aA)
exten => 1025,n,Goto(STARTMEETME,1)
exten => 1025,n(USER),Set(MEETME_OPTS=)
exten => 1025,n,Goto(STARTMEETME,1)

;–== end of [ext-meetme] ==–;

It’s tough to debug because there is apparently no CLI support for v1 of ConfBridge (before it was rewritten for Asterisk 10).

I tried to just load the meetme app but have had no luck with that. I am not sure why this install defaulted to app_confbridge as it was not really ready for prime time in this asterisk release.

Any help appreciated!
