Problem with cdr_odbc

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

My Asterisk doesn’t write CDR’s to database via ODBC. Plz, anybody help
me to understand, what I am doing wrong.

Asterisk succesfully writes CDR’s into the text log.
Database exists, unixODBC installed and configured properly (I can use
database from isql, Asterisk reads sipusers from it…).

“cdr_odbc” occurances in my “full” log:

Mar 28 15:11:44 VERBOSE[8753] logger.c: [cdr_odbc.so]Mar 28 15:11:44 VERBOSE[8753] logger.c: [cdr_odbc.so] => (ODBC CDR Backend)

Try checking these two things.

1.) Make sure the ‘cdr’ database exists, and is setup with the proper fields.
2.) Make sure that sufficient priviliges are given to your user ‘astserver’ so that it can write records into these databases.

What database are you using? If your database supports this, have it log all of the SQL queries sent to the database. You can then see if Asterisk is sending the query, and what query it is sending.

Good Luck,
Dan

Thanks, I solved this problem already (ODBC settings…).

can you tell me what have you change in your ODBC setting?

Thanks
