MOH not playing with default installation

HI Everyone,

After going back and looking at the alternative inbound scripts I could use I found a big difference between the tl-dialconference and tl-dialconference-prompted.

The first script is bare bones and dials right into teh conference bridge direct from a DID and works flawlessly with the exception of a few things:

1. It doesn't record voice announcements
2. It doesn't play any MOH at all.

Now when I switch to the 2nd script I listed above and tell it to go to the conference bridge, when you dial the DID it tell you the extension is NOT valid and to dial another one. Ok fine, I dial my bridge number and boom I am in. It does the voice prompts for me to say my name and plays the MOH without fail.

When I look at the two scripts, they are very different. The 1st script uses different arguments to contact t5he local bridge than the 2nd script does. I am going to create a 3rd script that will take the bets from both worlds and combine them and hopefully it will yield the results I am looking for.

Any other suggestions are always welcome.

its a training issue... you didn't specify the conference correctly when using dialconference-prompted... see recent patch notes since 6.1.1.2 for more information.

I have a default installation from the ISO just posted a few days ago with my conference bridge MOH not playing.
  
So far the only customization I made is turning off asterisk (chkconfig asterisk off) and changing the webmin portal from port 1000 to port 80 for easier user access.

lame.. you have no clue everything you broke by fighting with apache for port 80 access. You were better off having an index.php script issue a 301 redirect than to tell webmin to run on port 80. The end user still types in the same url without a port but webmin still runs on port 10000. Now you cannot do https because port 80 is an RFC violation to run SSL over that port, you've lost http and https provisioning by doing this also.

index.php
<?
Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
Header( "Location: https://host.domain.tld:10000" );
?>

I fixed the issue with a script modification. Actually I did assign the conference room in accordance with your release notes (was the 1st thing I read before I downloaded the new release).

Thanks for you advice on the port 80 redirection, I will look into that now and should help solve a few other issues.

As for my script mod I simply created a new script (tl-dialconference-prompted-alt from tl-dialconference-prompted) and commented out lines 2 and 6 as shown below:

exten => s,n,Set(TIMEOUT(response)=10)
;; exten => s,n,Set(prefix=${DB(TL/TENANT/${tenant}/tenantprefix)})
exten => s,n,Set(confno=${prefix}${ARG3})
exten => s,n,GotoIf($["${confno}" != "${prefix}"]?gotconf)
exten => s,n(getconf),Read(confno,conf-getconfno)
;; exten => s,n,Set(confno=${prefix}${confno})
exten => s,n(gotconf),NoOp(confno = ${confno})

This fixed the conference bridging issue for me.

there is a setting missing in your /etc/webmin/asterisk/features.txt if you had to do that

I am checking out the features.txt What would be missed since this was a default install and the only changes that were made were ports based changes?

Also I hate the redirection to port 10000, no only is it unprofessional to have a portal that cant use port 80 (since most of our corporate customers only have access to the internet through 80 and 443) or 443, but our end users who are corporate based cant get to the portal because of firewall rules.

Most of our clients are govt offices and they don't have access to the firewall rules.

Can I use a single IP for webmin and another IP for apache without breaking everything?

BTW here is my features.txt file. Anything missing?

I still cannot get the standard script to work, continuing to use my modified script. Not sure what I am supposed to be looking for on this one since its a default install with no mods...

that is not features.txt that is features.conf .. your in the wrong directory.
