[Asterisk-bsd] Hello List :) New to Asterisk not new to FreeBSD

Sat Dec 3 20:42:37 CST 2005

This page leads me to think they are supported for FreeBSD.

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=FreeBSD+zaptel

But in doing further reading I found this sliver:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+FreeBSD

"Asterisk 1.0.9 <http://www.freshports.org/net/asterisk/> is now available
via the ports or packages. The FreeBSD port automatically includes the
Zaptel driver, and H323 support. If you build the port from source, you can
use the WITHOUT_H323 and WITHOUT_ZAPTEL knobs to disable these things."

Leading me to think maybe all I need to do is install asterisk from the
ports collection?

But when I initially tried that I could not fetch it correctly:

patrick# make && make install
===>  Vulnerability check disabled, database not found
=> asterisk-1.0.6.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/.
=> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/.

=> Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this
=> port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles/ and try again.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/net/asterisk.

Ok let's try and use pkg_add:

patrick# pkg_add -rv asterisk
looking up ftp.freebsd.org
connecting to ftp.freebsd.org:21
setting passive mode
opening data connection
initiating transfer
Error: FTP Unable to get
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.4-release/Latest/asterisk.tbz:
File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch '
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.4-release/Latest/asterisk.tbz'
by URL
pkg_add: 1 package addition(s) failed

Tried this to make sure pkg_add is not the problem:

patrick#   pkg_add -rv apache

Sure enough that worked ok and installed apache.

I did notice that it seems to try and fetch an older version (1.0.6) than
the one I tried to install from source (1.0.9).  Maybe that has something to
do with my issue?  Possibly someone besides Alex will chime in.

I'll put on a pot of coffee.
