Title: File permissions in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/
Post by: gb_delti on December 17, 2008, 10:53:13

Hello,

I'm trying to get the agent login working, but since QueueMetrics runs as a different user than Asterisk, Asterisk can't read the *.call files generated by QM in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/
This generates error messages like

Unable to open /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/QM-3711628163.call: Permission denied, deleting

What can I do to make the files readable for Asterisk?

I think the easiest way is to skip call files at all and use a Manager connection by setting:

Code: [Select]

callfile.dir=tcp:dial:bingo@10.10.3.100
This will connect to the Manager port of an Asterisk on 10.10.3.100 with user "dial" password "bingo". You of course have to set the relevant manager.conf settings right.

Thank you, this solution works fine.

Is there any way to connect on a non-standard port? I have astmanproxy  (http://github.com/davetroy/astmanproxy/tree/master)running on port 21234 and would like to use it. I've tried the line

Code: [Select]

callfile.dir=tcp:dial:bingo@10.10.3.100:21234
but that didn't work.

Running the original manager interface on another port and astmanproxy on 5038 would be too much hassle - several other services already use the astmanproxy port.

That's exactly the required syntax - do you get any error?

I get the red error message "You do not have the rights to perform the requested action." in QM when I try to change a call outcome. When I have a closer look at the data exchange between QM and the proxy I can see that no data is sent after the TCP connection is established and the proxy prints "Asterisk Call Manager Proxy/1.21" instead of "Asterisk Call Manager/1.0". Could it be that QueueMetrics insists on the "greeting message" being "Asterisk Call Manager/1.0"?

Yes that's exactly so. Isnt't there a way for Astmanproxy to override the default greeting?

Not an easy one. It's doable but I would have to change it in the source code and recompile it.

Apart from that - if you are using the standard Java Asterisk library it probably won't work:
