[Asterisk-Users] MySQL

[Bill]

    Matthew,

    I followed these instructions this morning and something about it's not
working. I was using the voicemail.conf before and I could login and
everything worked ok but now I can't login at all. One thing that did get
fixed was the CDR records when I did the "make install" from the
asterisk-addons folder.

    In my /etc/my.conf file I have "log=/var/log/mysqld.log" so I can watch
what MySQL does. So far it never tries to do anything with the voicemail.
That's how I noticed the CDR records started working.

    Any ideas?

      Bill

Sure. (I really need to write a wiki on this.)

You have two choices here before we start. You can use RealTime one of 2
ways: ODBC or direct MySQL. Currently these are the only two supported
methods.

Since I don't use ODBC and as the author of the MySQL RealTime driver, I'm
going to instruct on how to use/install it.

The RealTime MySQL driver can be found inside asterisk-addons. Just do the
standard make, make install.

Now copy asterisk-addons/configs/res_mysql.conf.sample to
/etc/asterisk/res_mysql.conf (or whereever your conf dir is).

Edit the res_mysql.conf to your liking.

Now edit /etc/asterisk/extconfig.conf. Down at the bottom is the RealTime
config stuff. If you want voicemail, add this line:

voicemail => mysql,asterisk,voicemail_users

This basically says "Please use the RealTime MySQL driver, the database
asterisk and the table voicemail_users and bind that to the voicemail
family". You can change to your liking:

voicemail => <driver>,<databasename>,<tablename>

Now go into your mysql server and make the following table:

CREATE TABLE `voicemail_users` (
  `uniqueid` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `customer_id` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  `context` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
  `mailbox` int(5) NOT NULL default '0',
  `password` int(4) NOT NULL default '0',
  `fullname` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
  `email` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
  `pager` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
  `options` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
  `stamp` timestamp(14) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`uniqueid`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

Put in some rows. Restart asterisk and it should work. Please let me know if
it works/doesn't work.
