10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I believe their voicemail is in the
default context, extension 234, which would be the right path. The issue is
most likely permissions, the default voicemail permissions are that they’re
owned by root and set to where only root can read/write to them. The Apache web
server that the vmail.cgi script runs on can not read the files.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

color:blue'>/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/234/INBOX/ make sure each are
755. So that anybody can read those folders. You might want to consider
security before doing this, if it’s a shared system you’re now
allowing others to hear each others voicemail. If it’s a secured/locked
down system, then 755 all the directories up to that one. Then set the *.WAV
and *.TXT files to 644 so they can be read. However, if you want to be
able to delete emails via vmail.cgi as well, you have to find a way to allow
Apache to delete these files, chown apache:apache –R /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail
will generally work for any existing voicemails, but not new ones. I have a
cronjob run every 2 minutes that performs the above command, so that vmail.cgi
can work with these files regularly. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
