FOP2 Recording Issues in Elastix 2.2

[nicolas]

Hi Gavin,

This issue is the one fixed on what will be the next release. Contact me in the live help tomorrow if you want to try out the patched version, as there is no official update yet.

Hi Nicolas,

That would be great if I could try the patched copy out - I also have you on googletalk as well , what time is good for you (I am in the UK).

Similar issue here (with Elastix 2.3). I can grab incoming and outgoing calls permanently within the extension -> shows up in [ Monitoring ]
I can grab calls within FOP2 -> doesn’t show up in [ Monitoring ]
In both cases the *.wav files are in /var/spool/asterisk/monitor/
I tried with the rpm within Elastix and the manual installed version 2.26.
I tried all the hints here but no success.
Any advice?

Thanks

I can grab calls within FOP2

I am on Elastix 2.3 also and cannot see how to pickup the recorded calls from within FOP2 , where is this option?

also I have this same problem with FOP2 and no calls showing up in Monitoring on Elastix despite changing settings, I just found this post but posted a similar request yesterday to this site.

That is the last incarnation of the monitor_exec script to use for elastix. Elastix rpm will use just a named file the way old ARI used (with file inspection on the hard disk). Elastix 2.3 uses now a field on the cdr table to link recordings (much more proper), so you need to use this script to set the field when the recording is done.

However, it works depending on the call leg you start the recording, not sure what direction, because the uniqueid stored on the cdr does not match the uniqueid of that leg. FOP 2.27 fixes that problem, but it is still in beta.

Hi Nicolas,

Do you advise using this version? I get a 404 error if I try to download it.

Hi,

download 2.27 beta that includes the fix and the modified script:

Hi Nicolas,

I have updated my server to this new version, and renewed my license

However, the fop2 service starts but the client is unable to connect, Connecting to server, attempt .... upto 10 then errors.

./fop2_server --test

Flash Operator Panel 2 - Valid License (1)

Connection to manager OK!

netstat -lnp | grep 4445

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:4445 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 7030/fop2_server

From the outside world telnet connections are possible to port 4445 on the server IP.

Any ideas?

Do you use http or https? What browser?

One important change that might be an issue is that the new fop2 version will use secure web sockets instead of standard web sockets when you access it via https. You have to set the ssl certificate files in fop2.cfg, uncomment and set the appropiate certs, the same ones you use for your https web server:

; If you access fop2 via https, browsers will try to use wss (Secure 
; web sockets) and for that it requires a certificate file and key file,
; the same ones you have in your web server configuration:
;
;ssl_certificate_file=/etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt
;ssl_certificate_key_file=/etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key

Now, the problem lies in that some browsers require you to accept the certificate as you have to do when you browse an https site with self signed certificates, but the wss connection does not ask for it. I think firefox needs to be pointed to https://your.server:4445 or perhaps wss://your.server:4445 in the address bar so it ask for confirmation on the certificate. I did not have to do it with chrome. Another option if this is the case is to disable websockets in /var/www/html/fop2/js/presence.js

Hi Nicolas,

Many thanks for the quick reply - I have disabled websockets in presence.js and FOP2 is working correctly again.
