hi, just downloaded v3 and tried the web-installer. based on ur instructions i created a folder /usr/local/freeswitch and a subfolder conf
drwxrwsrwx 3 www-data www-data 4096 2009-08-04 22:01 freeswitch
and gave recursive permissions to my apache-“user”. but the installer tells me:
Telephony Engine
Modular Telephony Software Framework and Application
Unable to write to
We’re trying to make that error a bit friendlier, but the issue is you need the ESL library provided by FreeSWITCH to use the voicemail plug-in. Sorry the error is not clean
FreeSWITCH (and I think Asterisk) both require fancy footwork to query a database or otherwise to get voicemail messages, and to turn on/off message lights when a message is deleted. Since we allow for management of voicemail from the UI, we need this access, and hence, we need ESL.
I am very new to this and need to know if freepbx must be run on a dedicated computer or can I run it on my windows vista computer concurrently with everything else I have on it. Thanks for your help in this matter as I really don’t want to have to install it on a dedicated computer.
Thanks
Howard
this. general rule:
productive system > dedicated machine!
test > ok to run several things on the same machine as long as the ports dont block each other…
I have the same problem. In fact, the directories exist (so “redoing” them won’t change anything).
I changed group to apache and chmod to g+w as explained in the installation manual.
The same error occurs. The install script can read in the directories as it sees if the files to be over written exist (default.xml for example).
So I’m really stuck…
