MeetMe "That is Not a Valid Conference Number" Err

MeetMe “That is Not a Valid Conference Number” Error

After some attempts I was able to get the meetme module for Asterisk. Hooray.

I had to reinstall from scratch, I mean a brand new system. Uninstalling Asterisk and Zaptel then reinstalling them did not fix anything. There were some other dependencies that were preventing the app_meetme.so to be installed. Anyhow, I installed Zaptel-1-4.0 first then I installed Asterisk 1-4.0 and that gave me the MeetMe module.
Great, so I start setting up conferences. Well, not quite. When I try to dial a meetme conference room number I get “That is Not a Valid Conference Number” on the phone and the console gave me the following:

All I know is that there is no zap directory under /dev. Obviously installing Zaptel alone did not fix anything. Is there something else I need to install, configure, or tweak based on the error message above? Any help and suggestions here would be great! Thanks!

BTW - I’m NOT running BSD. RHEL with Linux Kernel 2.6.9

in zaptel source dir, after make install do make config, then service zaptel start. Now restart asterisk. Does that work?

Did you check your udev settings before installing zaptel? See the README.udev before installing zaptel. It might help you.

Not sure you read this - voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+ … stallation. Hope this helps u.
