it is a requirement that you post your configuration when you request assistance (so search engines will help others with similar configuration and problems, this helps everyone!).

So post your Method of Installation, Vicidial Version and Build, Asterisk Version, and any Other software installed.

[eliasferreyra]

asterisk 1.4
astguiclient=2.0
linux distro=debian etch

2.0.? (4 or 5 are very different)


do you have sox, soxmix, or soxbin installed?

the system is likely looking in these locations for a sox binary:

Code: Select all

### find soxmix or sox to do the mixing
$soxmixbin = '';
if ( -e ('/usr/bin/soxmix')) {$soxmixbin = '/usr/bin/soxmix';}
else
        {
        if ( -e ('/usr/local/bin/soxmix')) {$soxmixbin = '/usr/local/bin/soxmix';}
        else
                {
                if ($DB) {print "Can't find soxmix binary! Trying sox...\n";}
                if ( -e ('/usr/bin/sox')) {$soxmixbin = '/usr/bin/sox -m';}
                else
                        {
                        if ( -e ('/usr/local/bin/sox')) {$soxmixbin = '/usr/local/bin/sox -m';}

did you miss installing sox in your scratch install?

[eliasferreyra]

yeah sr. i have it installed

but what i try to make any conversion

/usr/share/astguiclient/AST_CRON_mix_recordings_BASIC.pl

i receive Can't find soxmix binary! Exiting...

[williamconley]

you have it installed but is it in one of those locations
look in the script you are executing ... and see if you have it where it belongs

[williamconley]

nano /usr/share/astguiclient/AST_CRON_mix_recordings_BASIC.pl

look around.


"locate sox"

[eliasferreyra]

yeah , look matt said that use
AST_CRON_mix_recordings_BASIC.pl

but without the mix

like
AST_CRON_recordings_BASIC.pl

but says no such file

[eliasferreyra]

can i change the sox and use another converter inteast?
how can i do

[williamconley]

how can i do

is there a problem with installing sox?

[eliasferreyra]

i solved the problem ... by reinstalling asterisk 1.2.30

asterisk 1.4 has any instalation issues

thanks

williamconley for your helps

[gardo]

That's weird. Sox or Soxmix is not part of the Asterisk packages. So whether you have Asterisk 1.2 or 1.4 shouldn't have mattered.

[williamconley]

often installing one or the other will alter configuration files to "look" in different places for different things. who knows.

[eliasferreyra]

yeah gardo thats what i think

but my essential problem was that the recordings could not be recorded or converted into specific formats
but reinstalling the 1.2 i solved
at least this prob.

I seemed to have listened to Matt about the recordings and Asterisk 1.4
I think the context 8309

but i think this is a very rare problem
