asterisk users - Aug 2009 - Create VoiceMenu SNAFU

Hi All,

      I'm new to Asterisk, but am a relatively accomplished Linux guy 
(RH5.1) .. I'm using the Asterisk-GUI to try and create a menu for 
incoming calls on an Analog Trunk. I have recorded some .WAV files for 
the menu, but when I try to upload the files, I get an AG101 message. So 
I copied the files to /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/record .. when I go to 
the Voice Menu Prompts selection down the left side of the Asterisk-GUI, 
I see my four files with the options to record again, play and delete. 
If I then go to the Voice Menu option to configure a Voice Menu, and 
click on the Create New VoiceMenu, I get nothing .. nada .. kaput .. how 
the heck do I create a menu for an incoming call on a Trunk?

      When I started this project I knew it would be fun .. I would 
learn a lot! The problem is that one of our administrators is absolutely 
a newbi to Linux, so I have to make this work with the GUI .. any help 
or suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks

Gary B

I have no idea for how the Asterisk-GUI works, and no answer for your
pointed question.
For your more general question of how to make a GUI work with
asterisk, specifically with regard to IVR building, I have had good
luck with getting non-linux folk to use FreePBX.

Totally web-based, and for us, it 'just worked'.
