Yeah, that's what I took the comments on the wiki to mean, but when I try it like that, I get the following warning:

Nov 22 20:15:16 WARNING[9362]: app_voicemail.c:2000 messagecount: SQL Alloc Handle failed!


To me, this looks like it is not able to connect to the db at all.  Maybe I'm wrong?


Thanks!
