Hi,
I have installed Asterisk 1.4.20 on Debian Etch. The server has no telephony
card
installed, but I have anyhow installed Zaptel (Zaptel-1.4.9) in order to be able
to use MeetMe.
The Zaptel modules load normally. I obtain the following prompts:
kerplunk:/# /etc/init.d/zaptel start
Loading zaptel framework: done.
Waiting for zap to come online...OK
Loading zaptel hardware modules: ztdummy.
Running ztcfg: done.
I can confirm that Zaptel is loaded:
kerplunk:/# lsmod | grep zaptel
zaptel 184548 1 ztdummy
crc_ccitt 2240 1 zaptel
Anyhow, when I attempt to start Asterisk, I obtain the following:
======================================================================== ==
Parsing '/etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf':Found
== Parsing '/etc/asterisk/extconfig.conf':Found
== Parsing '/etc/asterisk/logger.conf':Found
Asterisk Event Logger Started /var/log/asterisk/event_log
[Nov 1 21:40:41] ERROR[1873]: asterisk.c:2954 main: Asterisk has detected a
problem with your Zaptel configuration and will
shutdown for your protection. You have options:
1. You only have to compile Zaptel support into Asterisk if you need it.
One option is to recompile without Zaptel support.
2. You only have to load Zaptel drivers if you want to take advantage of
Zaptel services. One option is to unload zaptel
modules if you don't need them.
3. If you need Zaptel services, you must correctly configure Zaptel.
Of course, because I have no Zaptel hardware I did not configure zaptel.conf. I
really would
not know what to configure.
Ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance.
Aldo

Hi to all, Thank you Dobry an Tzafrir for your answers. I agree with Tzafrir in the sense that ztdummy needs no configuration. Moreover, the .conf file generated by genzaptelconf does not contain any configuration at all for ztdummy (tonezone and defaultzone are the only uncommented text in it). I must also say that I have tried again with the current versions of Asterisk and Zaptel, with the same result. So I'm still wondering where the problem lies... Cordially, Aldo> Hi there, > > Try running "genzaptelconf -v" and restart asterisk. Here's what I have > in /etc/zaptel.conf in order to have the MeetMe working.-v doesn't change the output . zaptel.conf is not needed for ztdummy, as ztdummy does not handle spanconfig, start or whatever. It simply starts operating at the moment it is probed.> > # Autogenerated by /usr/sbin/genzaptelconf -- do not hand edit > # Zaptel Configuration File > # > # This file is parsed by the Zaptel Configurator, ztcfg > # > > # It must be in the module loading order > > > # Span 1: ZTDUMMY/1 "ZTDUMMY/1 (source: RTC) 1" (MASTER) > > # Global data > > loadzone = us > defaultzone = usThis thing might have been useful for zaptel channels, if you had any. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com iax:guest at local.xorcom.com/tzafrir -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The call to ztcfg is probably just part of some standard init script. -- Stefan Tichy ( asterisk2 at pi4tel dot de )
Hi again, Thanks for your answer, Stefan. In fact, ztcfg is automatically running from the startup script. Anyhow this seems harmless and not the cause of the problem. I have confirmed this with two other Asterisk servers, both having a zaptel card installed in them, but one running the same Debian Etch OS as the troublesome machine, and the other one running Fedora Core 6. In both cases I restricted the zaptel modules loaded to just ztdummy and modified zaptel.conf in order not to configure anything. Then I restarted zaptel and attempted to start Asterisk. In the first case I obtained the same error message as I reported before. In the case of the machine running Fedora, Asterisk started normally (and it's worth to say that ztcfg does also automatically run in it). So it is apparent that the problem involves Debian. Greetings. Aldo Sudak>On Sat, Nov 01, 2008 at 11:03:09PM -0200, Aldo D.

Hi to all, The problem was finally solved by installing Asterisk-1.4.18. Versions 1.4.20 and current (1.4.22) produce the issue. Version 1.4.18 does not. May this be a bug?
