@JaredBusch said in FreePBX send mail error:

Did you request smtp be unblocked by vultr?

It's blocked by default, so if you forget to request this on any server, outbound emails won't work.

The block is account level. Not per server.

FYI, screens have changed a bit for Version 14

@jaredbusch Good to know. I was thinking about doing this but I wasn't sure if it was truly still in beta or Sangoma was not keeping up to date.

@dashrender said in First Look at FreePBX 14:

I'm installing this for the first time on Vultr.. damn, that initial install took 20+ mins, just like JB.

Adding more resources doesn't seems to help. I did it with 2 Cores, and 2GB of RAM took the same amount of time.....

Not too many things that it is doing that are likely multithreaded. Mostly just transferring files.

@tm1000 said in FreePBX 14 Release Candidate is out:

@JaredBusch that is correct

I am interested in Zulu but never set it up because a 2 users license for only a year is useless. Or does that auto renew so I always have 2 users for free? If that is the case I will set it up on my company PBX for myself and another user.

None of my clients have had an interest sadly.

Same here, time out free licenses I generally avoid.

@table said in Duplicating IVR entries in FreePBX 13:

@jaredbusch

Is there a better way to do this with whats included in freepbx or commercial modules? I was thinking just putting the script in cron and just have it run every so many hours. Then eventually making a form to add or modify the data.

What I would do is update your ivr3 to include the id and name from ivr_details and think of those as the unique key. Or add them to a separate cross reference table, however you want to handle it.

Then add logic to your system to fail and notify if there is a mismatch (aka someone changed it in FreePBX).

There is no way to do this in FreePBX itself.

Once you change the database, you will have to reload everything.

You can issue the fwconsole reload command from your script. That is the same as clicking the red "Apply Config" button.

Thanks for this post, @JaredBusch . I got the previous month's bill from TPX and am going to start going through it to see how much we can save by switching from our PRI.

We have to upgrade (replace) our Mitel/ShoreTel Shoregear T1, so that will cost a few grand.

@fuznutz04 said in Unable to create a parking lot in FreePBX 13:

Did you try disabling or uninstalling the call park module and then reinstalling the module?

Do that let me get something to save in the GUI, but parking still did not work.

Turns out the asterisk module was not even loaded.

Now log into your new FreePBX system and it will show the Apply Config warning.

Do so.

At this point you can go through the new system one piece at a time and make sure you are good.
Change a couple extensions to point to your new PBX and make sure they register and can call each other.
Once you are sure that the basics are working, disable the trunks on the old system, enable on the new system, and verify outside connectivity works.
Finally, you can change the rest of the extensions.

@brianlittlejohn said in Outbound call routing with FreePBX 13:

Is it best to setup a second route for e911 usage?

I always do. Because then I can mark the route as such.

@JaredBusch I see that now. I'm not making plans to make any kind of changes with Asterisk's behavior. I was simply geeking out on the questions of why and how. 🙂

Justy a note, you need to create an OpenCNAM account and fund it if you do not have one.
https://www.opencnam.com/register

I recommend OpenCNAM because it is generally cheaper than your carrier CID charges.
If you recall from the VoIP.ms setup, they charge $0.008 per lookup.

OpenCNAM is half that at $0.0039 per lookup. https://www.opencnam.com/pricing

Often sales people and management will ask, "How do I check my voicemail from outside?" I always recommend that they enable voicemail to email, but for those that want it, you can set up a silent option in the IVR.

What I mean by silent option is that you will add another option to the IVR, but you will not announce that option in the recorded audio.

Add another entry and choose the Destination category of Feature Code Admin and then select Dial Voicemail <*98>

It should be noted, that when you create a new extension, FreePBX will create user conference rooms automatically if you create a new User Manager user at the same time.

@u2communications said in Setting up a SIP trunk in FreePBX 13:

If you find yourself still trying to get incoming calls working after several hours (like me), be advised that the default DID settings on voip.ms will not work. You merely have to set up a sub-account and make sure to set the authentication type as user/password authentication. Add your DID's to the sub-account and authenticate with the accountnumber_subaccount convention and use the password you created when setting up the sub-account.

I have never experienced an issue using the primary account on VoIP.ms. I highly recommend against it, always. But, I have never had a problem using it.

Also, welcome to ML.

@jaredbusch Nope... I think you're confusing this as you have an account and are logged in. @FATeknollogee pasted a page for new subscribers.

If you follow that link, then select the unlimited plan, you arrive at a new page
The new page allows one to select Local or Toll Free.
Choose Local and your state and proceed to the next page.
Choose your rate center and your page expands to show :

We're 4 pages in and it doesn't specify this inbound limit.
