Trixbox 2.6 Problems & Solutions
I just got done setting up a new trixbox, used the latest iso for version 2.6, and there are actually a couple of problems out of the box. I thought I’d blog the solutions real quick because it took way too much googling / trial and error for me to figure them out, even though they were both simple.
The first you may notice is that help-trixbox, setup-polycom, and all those fun built in trixbox scripts aren’t working. The reason? They’re not executable. If you’re getting permission denied errors, just:
cd /usr/local/sbin
chmod 755 *
blam there you go.
The next issue I ran into was hudlite server not working. IIRC there may have even been a problem installing it from commandline but you can still install it from the trixbox packages page. I got it set up, got my clients configured, but no one could call anyone. I also noticed this error when logged into asterisk cli: “Connect attempt from ‘127.0.0.1′ unable to authenticate”
Well, what happened is the hudlite conf didn’t have my asterisk manager password in it. Here is how to fix:
nano /usr/local/fonality/hud/conf/connect.xml
Add the password info to the asterisk section like so:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<opt>
<asterisk>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>5038</port>
<pass>[your password, default is amp111 but you should change that]</pass>
</asterisk>
then save (control+o), exit (control+x) then
service hudlite-server restart
voila, it works!
