MeetMe(), Asterisk 1.4 and Debian/Etch

I’m running Asterisk 1.4 on Debian/Etch with the Zaptel 1.4.

I have been able to build and install both Ztdummy and Asterisk. I have done a fresh reboot and modprobe -l show ztdummy.ko is loaded.

When I try to enter the MeetME() room this is what I get via the CLI

-- Executing [6010@internal:1] MeetMe("SIP/home-084f02b8", "1|M") in new stack == Parsing '/usr/local/asterisk-1.4/etc/asterisk/meetme.conf': Found [Feb 7 01:09:17] WARNING[4250]: chan_zap.c:924 zt_open: Unable to open '/dev/zap/pseudo': No such file or directory [Feb 7 01:09:17] ERROR[4250]: chan_zap.c:7633 chandup: Unable to dup channel: No such file or directory [Feb 7 01:09:17] WARNING[4250]: app_meetme.c:611 build_conf: Unable to open pseudo channel - trying device [Feb 7 01:09:17] WARNING[4250]: app_meetme.c:614 build_conf: Unable to open pseudo device [Feb 7 01:09:17] WARNING[4250]: chan_zap.c:924 zt_open: Unable to open '/dev/zap/pseudo': No such file or directory [Feb 7 01:09:17] ERROR[4250]: chan_zap.c:7633 chandup: Unable to dup channel: No such file or directory [Feb 7 01:09:17] WARNING[4250]: app_meetme.c:611 build_conf: Unable to open pseudo channel - trying device [Feb 7 01:09:17] WARNING[4250]: app_meetme.c:614 build_conf: Unable to open pseudo device -- Playing 'conf-invalid' (language 'en') [Feb 7 01:09:19] WARNING[4250]: file.c:616 ast_readaudio_callback: Failed to write frame == Spawn extension (tony-internal, 6010, 1) exited non-zero on 'SIP/home-084f02b8'

/dev/zap/pseudo does not exist, but there is a file /etc/udev/rules.d/zaptel.rules which has:

# zaptel devices with ownership/permissions for running as non-root KERNEL=="zapctl", NAME="zap/ctl", OWNER="asterisk", GROUP="asterisk", MODE="0660" KERNEL=="zaptranscode", NAME="zap/transcode", OWNER="asterisk", GROUP="asterisk", MODE="0660" KERNEL=="zaptimer", NAME="zap/timer", OWNER="asterisk", GROUP="asterisk", MODE="0660" KERNEL=="zapchannel", NAME="zap/channel", OWNER="asterisk", GROUP="asterisk", MODE="0660" KERNEL=="zappseudo", NAME="zap/pseudo", OWNER="asterisk", GROUP="asterisk", MODE="0660" KERNEL=="zap[0-9]*", NAME="zap/%n", OWNER="asterisk", GROUP="asterisk", MODE="0660"

What do I need to do to get MeetMe() to work with ztdummy?

You running on a VPS I take it???

The Host (hardware node) must be setup for this YOU can not do it FROM WITHIN the VE (Guest OS)

Only when the host is setup to allow you access will it work

You may also want to check the tty9 (the default unless you changed it)

ls -al /dev/tty9

stty sane < /dev/tty9

No it is on my home system. I’m not running a VPS.

As for tty9 in the start up file I set TTY=""
