Conference recording on 1.4.23.1

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Running Asterisk 1.4.23.1, Dahdi 2.1.0.4, Web Meetme 3.1 on CentOS 5.2. FreePBX version 2.5.1.

The problem is that conferences cannot be recorded. The following line is written to the log:

app_meetme.c: No DAHDI channel available for conference, conference recording disabled

Dahdi module is compiled and loaded in asterisk. I’ve tried unloading and loading the module via CLI and works without issue. dahdi_test provides replies without issue such as:

Opened pseudo dahdi interface, measuring accuracy…
99.937% 99.975% 99.935% 99.970% 99.935% 99.970% 99.970% 99.935%
99.970% 99.933% 99.971% 99.935% 99.970% 99.970% 99.935% 99.970%

Only using SIP, no hardware devices. I’m stumped on what to look for now since it appears that dahdi is working. Suggestions?

I just went through this problem last week… had me stumped for about 6 hours!!!

You are missing your dahdi.conf file in /etc/asterisk/. I can 99.9% guarantee it.

i would copy all you .conf files to another directory, do a “make samples”, the copy them back. Once that’s done, you should be able to:

*CLI>dahdi show channels

and see that the dahdi_dummy is loaded.

I figured it was something simple I had overlooked. I’ll give that a try, thanks!

That was it…I copied the asterisk-1.4.23.1/configs/chan_dahdi.conf.sample to /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf and all worked perfectly. Thanks a ton for the resolution!
