[Asterisk-Users] Zaptel Issue in Fedora Core 2 test 3

Hi,
 
I have the following error once I have installed asterisk on my new Fedora
Core 2 test 3 box with a T100P, compiled fine no problems after using the
info on voip-info.org but when i run ztcfg i get this error message:
 
Notice: Configuration file is /etc/zaptel.conf
line 143: Unable to open master device '/dev/zap/ctl'

The cards appear to load fine when i modprobe them  no errors appear but
Asterisk cannot use them when I make a call to the line in question asterisk
doesn't acknowledge them, the config I am using is off my old machine
(identical version same hardware and card just new OS) no errors on its
startup euitither it seems to accept the config fine. | suspect that the
channel has possibly changed but without ZTCFG i don't know how to check,
does anybody have any ideas on a) what this message means and B is there
anyway to see the channel the device is using.
 
Cheers

Did you use the make linux26 ?  I was able to compile with no errors,
using a simple make from within the zaptel directory, but had flackey
issues after words.  Using linux26 solved the issues!

Three things you may want to look at.

1. Do those devices exist?
2. Does the user that is starting Asterisk have permission to
    access those devices?
3. I *think* FC3 comes with SELinux on by default.  This may
    or may not be getting in your way.

[Asterisk-Users] Zaptel Issue in Fedora Core 2 test 3

are.
ctl is not a directory. Look here:

crw-r--r--  1 root root 196, 0 Oct 30 16:40 /dev/zap/ctl

And no you cannot readily cat a dev. I've not had to create any device files
for a long time so I've forgotten how you do it, but the c means its a 
character device. It's a device that is read one character at a time.

The command should be mknod so a man mknod should give you the details.
And I cannot imagine why it was not created for you. It seems plausable that 
it should have been created at least by the time you run the zaptel install 
script. You could also just reinstall the binaries.

There's script on szmidt.org/asterisk/asterisk-update.sh that will create 
backups of your source code and download, compile, install the asterisk 
system, etc. Simply run it without any parameter and it will give you the 
syntax.

Not that running the install by hand is very hard... but I get lazy and try to 
automate everything. Which can make things overly complex. So it may still 
have some bug in it. Though it seems to run just fine now.

I had the same problem when I tried to install zaptel on FC2.  I
resolved it by commenting out the following lines:

ifeq ($(DYNFS),)
else
        @echo "**** Dynamic filesystem detected -- not creating device
nodes"
        @echo "**** If you are running udev, read README.udev"
endif

from the zaptel Makefile (lines 233, 253-256 as of this morning's Makefile).

Hope this helps,
Patrick

[Asterisk-Users] Zaptel Issue in Fedora Core 2 test 3

I have done as below now I get a new error message when trying to make clean
or make install it says 

Makefile:230: *** missing rule before commands.  Stop.

In the build I have these lines were slightly different the ifeq ($(DYNFS),)
is on line 230. I take it you didn't comment out the lines below as these
look like they are creating the device nodes.


Any ideas

Thanks

James
