   Today I fixed the CDR reports:

   • I first changed my admin password in /etc/amportal.conf, /etc/asterisk/manager.conf.
   • I installed the package asterisk16-addons-mysql to enable CDR transfer into the asteriskcdrdb.
   • I used chown asterisk /var/lib/php/session to fix an issue about access session data for the graphical frontend to CDR recording. The problem was introduced by a system upgrade.
   • I checked the CDR status by calling asterisk -r and asking for cdr show status

   eMails about voicebox messages are now showing the correct URL, I can at least use in the local network. I just changed the corresponding text in /etc/asterisk/vm_email.inc. Watch out for the hostname AMPWEBADDRESS and replace it with something that really points to your FreePBX.

   After downloading some free voice prompts in German language, 2 changes were necessary to activate the new prompts located in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/de:

   • File /etc/asterisk/iax_general_custom.conf: language=de
   • File /etc/asterisk/sip_general_custom.conf: language=de

   Softphone Overview for Ubuntu 10.04

   • SFLphone: This was really easy, just create an account with Protocol SIP, the Hostname of your Asterisk instance, Username and Password and normally it will just work.
   • Ekiga works with Asterisk: Add a SIP Account with the Asterisk’s Hostname as Registrar and the Extension as (Authenticated) User. I suggest a restart after changes in the Accounts’ settings.
   • Linphone tends to crash. Even though an initial call to the CLI linphonec fixes the crashes on the GUI, there were follow-ups to the problems. The register command will fail on the CLI if parameters are missing. I removed the Lucid release of this package soon after installation.
