Applying USEHIST patch to asterisk on my trixbox

You have to download all those patches and add them just like you did with whatever patch that was that you applied.

Ok, i am a bit dumb when it comes to *nix boxes, but can someone explain to me why after you recompile asterisk, the original modules do not work the the newly compiled ones?

For example, i have some missing modules, so if i copy a missing module into the asterisk folder, when i start asterisk, the module crashes it? Why is this???

Also, i have found this....

http://yum.trixbox.org/centos/4/SRPMS/repodata/repoview/asterisk-...

Now i assume this is the source that is used by trixbox to compile asterisk? If i used this instead of the code from the digium site, would this compile up some of the missing modules?

Many Thanks all,

Lol, i'm learning more about *nix systems by using this thatn when i just had an ubuntu play vm.

Right, i sucessfully manage to apply this to my Trixbox 2.2.3 last night, so here is a guide and the patches which should apply without any issues...

Here is the guide....

Edit /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf and use the following three lines for CallerID :
nano -w /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf
usecallerid=yes
cidsignalling=v23
cidstart=usehist

The zaptel history patch from http://www.lusyn.com/resources/asterisk/usehist.htm does not work with the latest Trixbox release because the zaptel-base.c and zaptel.h files are now in the /zaptel/kernel/ directory. Also, the second chunk of the Zaptel patch fails due to an extra variable being declared in the latest Zaptel zaptel-base.c file (char *s;). I’ve uploaded an updated patch that does work with Trixbox 2.6.07 here if you would like to test it: http://www.novavox.co.uk/dev/patch/x100pse/zaptel-usehist-1-4-10.....

However, even though Asterisk/Zaptel compile fine and there are no debug messages when receiving a call, unfortunately Caller ID still doesn’t work on our test system. I’ve played with various Zapata.conf parameters such as adjusting the tx/rx gains, commenting in/out ukcallerid=yes, disabling fax detection, and even disabling echo cancellation but nothing so far has made any difference. The CID parameters are set to:

usecallerid=yes
cidsignalling=v23
cidstart=usehist
callerid=asreceived

As there aren’t any error/debug messages its difficult to determine what the issue might be. I’m going to try starting from scratch again with a fresh install and see if that makes any difference. I’ll reply back to this thread with the results.
