Unable to connect to port 5038

Hi, I am trying to add a TAPI driver for Outlook, to enable dialing from my contacts using my FreePBX installation. But when I configure the client software, it’s not able to “login” using the account I have put in /etc/asterisk/manager.conf on my Asterirsk. So I tried to make a Telnet 127.0.0.1 5038, on my Asterisk, and I get the message Connection refused. I ran manager show users, and I get the message “There are no manager users.”. My manager.conf looks like this :

[general]
enabled = yes
port = 5038
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0

[Outlook]
secret = xxxxxx
deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit=192.168.10.0/255.255.255.0
permit=127.0.0.0/255.255.255.0
read = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user
write = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user,originate

#include manager_additional.conf
#include manager_custom.conf

So I am very confused.

Here are the versions of my installation :
CentOS : Linux(i386)-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5

Elastix
elastix-2.0.0-58
elastix-firstboot-2.0.0-14
elastix-email_admin-2.0.0-23
elastix-system-2.0.0-38
elastix-asterisk-sounds-1.2.3-1
elastix-vtigercrm-5.1.0-8
elastix-agenda-2.0.0-24
elastix-fax-2.0.0-18
elastix-reports-2.0.0-20
elastix-a2billing-1.3.0-4
elastix-addons-2.0.0-19
elastix-pbx-2.0.0-40

FreePBX : freePBX-2.7.0-9
Asterisk : asterisk-1.6.2.13-0

If someone could help me on that, it would be very appreciated.

hi Gabriel,

pls also check if there is any iptables rule blocking 5038.
