[App_rpt] app_rpt on EVB v FreePBX 2.5 update
Hi All, Just a note that may be useful to others.... And no, please don't write me back to say "why would you do that". This is only meant as helpful information for those who decide they DO want to do it. I upgraded my EVB-based system to FreePBX 2.5rc1. My USB Fob would no longer function, and in fact generated a lot of log entries as rpt kept respawning itself, unable to detach the USB HID device. It seems that the /usr/local/bin/app_rpt_helper routine... grep "permiblast" /var/lib/asterisk/bin/freepbx_engine > /dev/null 2>&1 res=$? if [ $res = 1 ]; then sed -i 's/\[ -e \/dev\/dsp ] && chown -R asterisk:asterisk \/dev\/ dsp/\/usr\/local\/bin\/permiblast/' /var/lib/asterisk/bin/freepbx_engine fi ...is no longer sufficient. Now the lines in /var/lib/asterisk/bin/freepbx_engine look like this: [ -e /dev/dsp ] && chown -R $AMPDEVUSER:$AMPDEVGROUP /dev/dsp So the match fails. Rather than muck up freepbx_engine too much, I just added a line right below that line in freepbx_engine: /usr/local/bin/permiblast All is well now. :) I suppose I should fix the app_rpt_helper script to look for the new format, because future updates in the FreePBX series are likely to keep this pattern and my next upgrade may well break things again. Again, just FYI for those who may care. Steve - N9YTY
Hi Steve, I guess I should be more explicit in warning people to only use the upgrade script that comes with the package! This is a new version that uses FreePBX 2.4.1 in the works. For now there are reasons not to try 2.5. Take a look at http://www.xelatec.com/xipar/ for the new version later this week. 73, Steve Henke, W9SH On Mon, Sep 15, 2008 at 2:32 PM, Steven Palm <n9yty@n9yty.com> wrote:

...and that's why I said in my original email NOT to write back saying don't do it. I KNOW it's not approved, I was passing on info to others, not looking to be scolded, but I guess the temptation is too hard to resist. LoL. Steve
Hey consider it a mild chiding! Seriously I was just kidding. This stuff is made to be broken. It's the only way we make any progress. So have fun. Push it to the max. - 73, Steve On Mon, Sep 15, 2008 at 5:22 PM, Steven Palm <n9yty@n9yty.com> wrote:

The "betas" of the Echolink and IRLP channel drivers and associated stuff is now available. please download: http://stats.allstarlink.org/ast-irlp-echolink.tar.gz
Jim, I finally got my own dsl at KN6VR qth. Install date is 10/3. I'll initially set up as a reflector and add radios as I can. IRLP and Echolink will be an intigral part. I'll get you the ip address(es) as soon as they arrive so node numbers can be issued. Eric AF6EP On Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 12:54 PM, Jim Duuuude <telesistant@hotmail.com>wrote:

knowing IP addresses is no longer necessary for issuance of node numbers. That went away about 1 year ago.

What do you need to issue node numbers? Eric On Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 3:42 PM, Jim Duuuude <telesistant@hotmail.com>wrote:
