Astguiclient not sending messages to asterisk

[naresh]

I have successfully completed all steps of scratch_install.txt
Asterisk runs successfully . i.e i can call internally, do
conferencing via meetme only using ztdummy, i can also call outside
lines, I do IAX trunking
ASTguiclient runs properly from a web browser, when i click on a local
extension is says in a messagebox that originate command has been sent
but nothing shows up in ASTERISK CLI not even saying that cron has
logged in (I think this should happen right ?)

check that your crontab entries are in place and see if they run when you run them from command line.

Also, run this command and post the results:
screen -r

I have all entries properly in crontab

When i do screen -r

The *CLI> shows up and what ever i do in web browser nothing shows up
in this window
I am running the system as root.

When i do crontab -l the output is

send: Cannot determine peer address at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Net/MySQL.pm line 293

I look in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Net/ there is no MySQL.pm

and have installed in CPAN NET::MySQL version 0.09

[mflorell]

You need to install Net::MySQL version 0.08 as per the SCATCH_INSTALL:
install O/OY/OYAMA/Net-MySQL-0.08.tar.gz

version 0.09 does not work and I don't know anyone who has gotten it to work.

[naresh]

I had already intalled NET::MYSQL 0.08 before doing 0.09
but when i do

/home/cron/ADMIN_area_code_populate.pl

It gave an error saying that this does not work with newer versions of mysql so i installed 0.09

[mflorell]

See the FAQ, that is a password issue and can easily be fixed by
running a command in MySQL or starting mysql with the --old-passwords
option as mentioned in the SCRATCH_INSTALL:
http://astguiclient.sourceforge.net/faq.html#21212

Net::MySQL 0.09 does not work for anyone, and is one of the several
reasons we are changing to DBI DBD::mysql for astGUIclient 2.0.

[naresh]

Ok I have install 0.08 and starting mysql with --old password but still the same

I am now trying with slackware to follow scratch install step by step ona different machine hope it works
