I’m trying to create a conference service for my Asterisk-based IP-PBX using Meetme application.

The meetme.conf file has this:  
[rooms]  
conf=\>2

The extensions.conf file has this:  
exten =\> 200,1,MeetMe(2,DpM,1234)

The problem is that when I dial “200” always get a message of invalid conference number.

Any ideas please.

conf =\> 2, 1234

then

exten =\> 200,1,MeetMe(2,DpM,1234)

* * *

U have specified password in the exten but none exists for the hall. May be this could be the reason

Meetme needs a zaptel card or the ztdummy module for timings, did you have a zaptel card installed or the ztdummy kernel module loaded ?

Cheers.

Hi,

I got the same problem, getting  
"app\_meetme.c:769 build\_conf: Unable to open pseudo device"

And a message on the phone “that is not a valid conference number” (while it is ofc valid, according to the configuration).

So i found this thread. Of course my ztdummy module wasn’t loaded, so i loaded it manually and restarted asterisk. Then lsmod to see if the ztmodules are there - they are.

Retried calling the conf room number - but the logs and the error message are still the same. What else are we missing?

Ok, my solution was: chown -R asterisk:asterisk /dev/zap

(gentoo x86\_64)
