Well, so I'm trying to get this set up, and I'm a little stuck.  I think
I've got at least two separate problems.  Asterisk (1.2 from tarball) shows
this warning:

Nov 22 16:57:54 WARNING[8150]: app_voicemail.c:2065 messagecount: Failed to
obtain database object for 'asterisk'!

It also says it's still recording to a file spool:

    -- Recording the message
    -- x=0, open writing:
/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/68/INBOX/msg0000 format: wav49,
0x81afdc8


I've got the voicemessages table set up in mysql (database name 'asterisk').
My res_odbc.conf looks like this:

[MySQL]
dsn => asterisk
username => asterisk
password => secret
pre-connect => yes


And my voicemail.conf (relevant portion) looks like this:

[general]
odbcstorage=asterisk
odbctable=voicemessages


I don't know if it makes a difference, but the only thing in my
extconfig.conf is:

voicemail => mysql,asterisk,voicemail_users


My odbc.ini looks like this:
[MySQL]
Description = MySQL test database
Trace       = Off
TraceFile   = stderr
Driver      = MySQL
SERVER      = 127.0.0.1
USER        = asterisk
PASSWORD    = secret
PORT        = 3306
DATABASE    = asterisk


Anybody know what I've bungled?

Thanks!
