Open 79XX XML Directory

I came across this XML code yesterday on the voip-info wiki and since it seems to work well with 7940 and 7960 phones (and is easy to install) I thought I would post my results. The project goes back to 2005/6 and there is not much activity on the forum however 79x0 users might like to give it a try. You end up with the ability to create contacts and memos in a browser and read them on the phone screen and dial the associated numbers. The RSS feeds also work.

The home page is: http://web.csma.biz/apps/xml_xmldir.php

The sourceforge is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/open79xxdir/

Note in the following replace 'openxml' and 'open79xx' with your own choices.
----
Installation: (This is the way I got it to work)
1. D/L the code - I took the zip file onto a PC.
2. Copy to a directory, that you have created (eg openxml), on the tb server accessible to the webserver and unpack.
eg /var/www/html/openxml/
3. chown -R asterisk.asterisk /var/www/html/openxml
4. chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/openxml
----
5. Create a new database (eg open79xx) with Mysql. I used phpMyAdmin which I had already installed on tb. This needs to be done because open79xx will populate the database but not create it.
From now on if you get an error in your browser window - something is amiss!
6. Point your browser at http://tb-server-ip/openxml/
you get a message

7. You have already created the database in Mysql so click the link
8. Setup the XML database info, you enter:

Database Name: here enter the name of the db you created eg open79xx
Server: localhost
Login: root
Password: passw0rd

Click "submit"

Note the last 3 lines are determined by the way Mysql is configured - these are the defaults.
if you get the error "The file lib/mysql.php is not writable." check that you did stages 3 and 4 above.
9. Accept the updating of the database. This populates the Mysql database that you have created above.
(If you enter the name of any of the other databases in MySql you will screw up your trixbox config. So choose the name carefully to avoid any confusion.)
10. With luck you will get a message

The installation assumes that you will put the code in the webserver document root. Put openxml/ in front of PhoneUI and update. This writes the correct path for the application to /var/www/html/openxmldir/PhoneUI/lib/urlbase.php You can also edit the file directly.
11. You can then point your browser at http://tb-server-ip/openxml/ and update the database with contacts, memos and RSS feeds that are accessible to the 79x0. The default web login is "admin" & the passwd "core"
12. Configure the 79x0.
All I have done is in SIPDefault.cnf to edit
# URL for external Directory location
directory_url: "http://192.168.1.130/openxml/PhoneUI"
and reboot the phone.

13. On the phone, select the Directory button and press 5 on the keypad.
The phone will show up a "security" error. Just go the Open XML screen on your PC browser and select "phone registration" the MAC address of your 79x0 should show up as not registered - enable the MAC of your phone and your away....

However, I can't get this to work on 79x1 and 7971... All I get is the raw xml code showing. I have trawled through Cisco docs and cannot see how xml on the 79x0 and 79x1 differ. Any ideas?
