[asterisk-users] Dialout to Meetme Fails?

[Matthew Rubenstein]

	I'm trying to use Asterisk (v1.2.11) make a callback that dials both
legs of the call into a Meetme() room together, but I keep getting
"conf-invalid" messages.

	I created a callfile (/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/out.call) that
specifies a Local channel (extension) which contains a Dial() command to
the "dialer", and an extension which contains a Dial() command to the
"dialee". Each Dial() includes a G option to send the dialed terminal to
an extension which sends the dialed terminal's leg to a Meetme()
conference. The Dial completes, the G goes to the extension, but the
Meetme() seems to fail. I have an /etc/asterisk/meetme.conf with the
conf room defined. CLI> Meetme() returns "No valid conferences". How can
I check that Meetme() is installed/configured properly? What else could
be wrong?
