Artificial intelligence

How to – Fix Apache not starting on ViciBox

Contabo opens DC in Singapore

There is a new issue with ViciBox 9, 10 or 11 where Apache will not start up after installations. The error message is calling for mod_deflate which seems to not be there. The easy fix for this is to delete the include for it.

nano /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/dynportal.conf - Then go to line 16 and delete "Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_deflate.conf"

Do the same for dynportal-ssl.conf

This next set of instructions is from BVD in our Skype group:

1st step is only for apache error user’s

1st step
simple go to /etc/apache2/conf.d/ and rename all that files which is on .old like before /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_deflate.conf.old
change into this mod_deflate.conf only and do same process on all files just remove .old or .bak some thing

2nd step
cd /usr/src/astguiclient/trunk
then run perl install.pl
install.pl will help you to create agi-bin missing files

3rd

rm -r /var/lib/asterisk/sounds
ln -s /usr/share/asterisk/firmware /var/lib/asterisk/firmware

How to – Decrease SDP(short duration percent) in ViciDial

Short Duration Percent

How to – Decrease SDP(short duration percent) in ViciDial

There is a new feature in ViciDial as of SVN 3878 that will allow you to increase the call handle time through the AMD system which would lower your Short Duration Percent(SDP) in your carrier stats. Doing so can typically save you hundreds if not thousands per month in VoIP fees for being below their SDP requirements. Adding one line to you carrier dialplan as show below will do this for you. Doing so will also save your DID’s (Caller ID’s).

Short Duration Percent

This example will add 7 seconds to each call.

exten => _8567.,1,AGI(agi://127.0.0.1:4577/call_log)
exten => _8567.,n,Set(__AMDMINLEN=7)
exten => _8567.,n,Dial(SIP/carrier/${EXTEN:4},,tToR)
exten => _8567.,n,Hangup

I hope this helps

August 2024 VICIdial Security Update

Security Update needed

August 2024 VICIdial Security Update

Please read this carefully as it contains important information regarding the security of your VICIdial system.

The ViciDial Group recently conducted a security audit of VICIdial which resulted in the identification of severe vulnerabilities. We have patched these and submitted these changes to the code-base. Any system that is at SVN version 3848 or greater already has them. If your system is below that version, we strongly recommend that you upgrade to address these concerns. If you would like us to upgrade your system for you, please send a new email to support@cyburdial.com and put “Security Upgrade” in the subject. A typical upgrade takes about 15 to 30 minutes of support time. You can see the seriousness of these exploit here: https://packetstormsecurity.com/files/181461/VICIdial-2.14-917a-Remote-Code-Execution.html
https://packetstormsecurity.com/files/181460/VICIdial-2.14-917a-SQL-Injection.html

To find the SVN version of your VICIdial installation, log into your administator account and go to “Admin”, then click on “System Settings”. It will be the second line from the top, on the right, under “SVN Version”.

Please note, if your setup contains customizations done directly to VICIdial’s code, further review of your system will be needed as it may not be possible to upgrade you.

How to – Fix the “You don’t have permission to access /RECORDINGS/MP3/” error within ViciDial

Artificial intelligence

How to – Fix the “You don’t have permission to access /RECORDINGS/MP3/” error within ViciDial

A problem arises when people do a scratch install of ViciDial and you do not set the proper permissions for the directory that the recordings are stored. I will go over a couple of things to check and/or set to make sure they work properly.

The usual suspect is not setting proper permissions on the folder for the recordings, to fix this simply type the commands below:

Redhat(Alma, Rocky or CentOS):
chmod -R 755 /var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE
chown -R apache:apache /var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE

OpenSuSE(Tumpleweed, Leap ViciBox):
chmod -R 755 /var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE
chown -R wwwrun:www /var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE

The other issue could be not having a proper alias/vhost set for apache. To fix this simply paste the lines below at the bottom of your http.conf file

CustomLog /dev/null common

Alias /RECORDINGS/MP3 "/var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE/MP3/"

<Directory "/var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE/MP3/">
    Options Indexes MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Require all granted
</Directory>

For Redhat this goes in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

For OpenSuSE this goes in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

How to – Setup a ViciDial Cluster with scratch installs

Vicidial cluster

How to – Setup a ViciDial Cluster with scratch installs

image 101361114 15620151

This article is going to go over the steps I suggest to take in order to setup a ViciDial Cluster when using scratch install methods. I do things a little different when it comes to this to prepare for worst case scenario that a server may have problems and have to be taken offline, I install all services to each server, such as apache, mysql and asterisk this way if need be, they each can take on additional roles to cover for a server having to be taken out of production. Obviously this is going to assume you have ViciDial already installed on each server with all roles ready to go. To do so you can follow any one of my articles for scratch installs. I suggest using my auto installer for Alma Linux 9.

ViciDial Cluster
ViciDial Cluster

Step 1 – Install Vicidial on each server

Install ViciDial with the auto installer on each server.

Repeat this process on each server and then move on to step 2.

Step 2 – Turn off services not needed on each server role

Now we need to disable services not needed on each server to save on resources, but this way they are there if they are needed in the future.

  • DB Server: systemctl disable httpd
  • Web Server: systemctl disable mysql
  • Asterisk Servers: systemctl disable mysql

We want to leave apache running on the asterisk servers so we can install webrtc for webphones

Step 3 – Run the install.pl script on each server

Now we want to link them all together by running the install.pl script located in the source directory for vicidial, follow the following commands to get to and run it:

cd /usr/src/astguiclient/trunk
perl install.pl

Now follow the prompt and answer them accordingly. The pictures below will show the choices needed for each server role except make sure you set the IP for the DB server on all the rest instead of localhost.

image 101361114 15620149

DB Server and Web Server

image 7
DB Server

For the web server make sure you put the DB server IP instead of localhost

Asterisk Servers

image 8
Only use 5 and 7 on ONE asterisk server, not all, the rest put 123468

Make sure you only put 5 and 7 keepalives on one asterisk server, the rest you should only choose 123468.

Step 4 – Add them to the GUI for ViciDial

Now we need to add them into the GUI for Vicidial by going to Admin then servers

image 9
Go to Servers in the Admin area

Once you are here, click “Add a new server”

Once you are here, click "Add a new server"
Once you are here, click “Add a new server”

Fill out the fields accordingly and click submit

image 12
Add a new server

Now for the DB and web server turn the options to N(no) where you see highlighted below:

image 13
Active server, Active Asterisk server and Active agent server set to N

Step 5 – Add conferences

Add conferences for each asterisk server by following these instructions

Now reboot all servers and then check your reports page to make sure all servers are set to green like shown below

That’s all there is to it, not as hard as you thought it would be, right? If you have any questions feel free to join our live support on Skype:

How to – Set Up Asterisk 18 with ConfBridge for ViciDial with Bug fixes for monitoring

ConfBridge

How to – Set Up Asterisk 18 with ConfBridge for ViciDial with Bug fixes for monitoring

For this article, I will go over how you can install Asterisk 18 to use with ViciDial and using ConfBridge instead of MeetMe. There is a few bugs in the monitor function for use with ViciDial, however I have debugged it and will share this fix with all of you today.

Step 1 – Install and patch Asterisk 18

cd /usr/src/asterisk/
wget https://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/old-releases/asterisk-18.18.1.tar.gz
tar -xzvf asterisk-18.18.1.tar.gz

cd /usr/src/asterisk/asterisk-18.18.1/
wget http://download.vicidial.com/asterisk-patches/Asterisk-18/amd_stats-18.patch
wget http://download.vicidial.com/asterisk-patches/Asterisk-18/iax_peer_status-18.patch
wget http://download.vicidial.com/asterisk-patches/Asterisk-18/sip_peer_status-18.patch
wget http://download.vicidial.com/asterisk-patches/Asterisk-18/timeout_reset_dial_app-18.patch
wget http://download.vicidial.com/asterisk-patches/Asterisk-18/timeout_reset_dial_core-18.patch
cd apps/
wget http://download.vicidial.com/asterisk-patches/Asterisk-18/enter.h
wget http://download.vicidial.com/asterisk-patches/Asterisk-18/leave.h
yes | cp -rf enter.h.1 enter.h
yes | cp -rf leave.h.1 leave.h

cd /usr/src/asterisk/asterisk-18.18.1/
patch < amd_stats-18.patch apps/app_amd.c
patch < iax_peer_status-18.patch channels/chan_iax2.c
patch < sip_peer_status-18.patch channels/chan_sip.c
patch < timeout_reset_dial_app-18.patch apps/app_dial.c
patch < timeout_reset_dial_core-18.patch main/dial.c

Step 2 – Compile Asterisk

: ${JOBS:=$(( $(nproc) + $(nproc) / 2 ))}
./configure --libdir=/usr/lib64 --with-gsm=internal --enable-opus --enable-srtp --with-ssl --enable-asteriskssl --with-pjproject-bundled --with-jansson-bundled

make menuselect/menuselect menuselect-tree menuselect.makeopts
#enable app_meetme
menuselect/menuselect --enable app_meetme menuselect.makeopts
#enable res_http_websocket
menuselect/menuselect --enable res_http_websocket menuselect.makeopts
#enable res_srtp
menuselect/menuselect --enable res_srtp menuselect.makeopts
make samples
sed -i 's|noload = chan_sip.so|;noload = chan_sip.so|g' /etc/asterisk/modules.conf
make -j ${JOBS} all
make install

Step 3 – Add ConfBridge to use with ViciDial

Lets add the extensions we need to use confbridges with ViciDial with the following commands:

cd /etc/asterisk
nano extensions.conf

Add the following lines below the [default] area:

; --------------------------
; ConfBridge Extensions
; --------------------------

; use to send a agent channel into the conference
exten => _9600XXX,1,Answer()
exten => _9600XXX,n,Playback(sip-silence)
exten => _9600XXX,n,ConfBridge(${EXTEN},vici_agent_bridge,vici_customer_user)
exten => _9600XXX,n,Hangup()

;; used to send an customer channel into the conference
exten => _29600XXX,1,Answer()
exten => _29600XXX,n,Playback(sip-silence)
exten => _29600XXX,n,ConfBridge(${EXTEN:1},vici_agent_bridge,vici_agent_user)
exten => _29600XXX,n,Hangup()

;; used by an admin to enter the confernece
exten => _39600XXX,1,Answer()
exten => _39600XXX,n,Playback(sip-silence)
exten => _39600XXX,n,ConfBridge(${EXTEN:1},vici_agent_bridge,vici_admin_user)
exten => _39600XXX,n,Hangup()

;; used to monitor a conference
exten => _49600XXX,1,Answer()
exten => _49600XXX,n,Playback(sip-silence)
exten => _49600XXX,n,ConfBridge(${EXTEN:1},vici_agent_bridge,vici_monitor_user)
exten => _49600XXX,n,Hangup()

;; used to record into a conference
exten => _59600XXX,1,Answer()
exten => _59600XXX,n,Playback(sip-silence)
exten => _59600XXX,n,ConfBridge(${EXTEN:1},vici_agent_bridge,vici_recording_user)
exten => _59600XXX,n,Hangup()

;; used to barge a conference
exten => _69600XXX,1,Answer()
exten => _69600XXX,n,Playback(sip-silence)
exten => _69600XXX,n,ConfBridge(${EXTEN:1},vici_agent_bridge,vici_barge_user)
exten => _69600XXX,n,Hangup()

;; used to trigger DTMF tones in a conference
exten => _79600XXX,1,Answer()
exten => _79600XXX,n,Playback(sip-silence)
exten => _79600XXX,n,ConfBridge(${EXTEN:1},vici_agent_bridge,vici_dtmf_user)
exten => _79600XXX,n,Hangup()

;; used to play an audio file to a conference
exten => _89600XXX,1,Answer()
exten => _89600XXX,n,Playback(sip-silence)
exten => _89600XXX,n,ConfBridge(${EXTEN:1},vici_agent_bridge,vici_audio_user)
exten => _89600XXX,n,Hangup()

;; used to kick all channels from a conference
exten => _99600XXX,1,ConfKick(${EXTEN:1},all)
exten => _99600XXX,2,Hangup()
exten => _55559600XXX,1,ConfKick(${EXTEN:4},all)
exten => _55559600XXX,2,Hangup()

While we are in this file, lets go ahead and address and fix one of the bugs, which is not being able to listen or barge on calls through the real-time report. Search for “08600X” in extensions.conf which is at line 119 and should look like the picture below:

image

BUG Fix: Change the 86 to 96

Step 4 – Add confbridge functions

nano /etc/asterisk/confbridge.conf and paste this at the bottom:
#include confbridge-vicidial.conf

Now create a new file called confbridge-vicidial.conf and add the following lines:

; Bridge Profile for agent conferences

dtmf_passthrough=yes
dsp_drop_silence=yes

Step 5 – Add ConfBridge conferences into Asterisk database

Step 6 – Update the IP to your Server IP

Run the following command:

/usr/share/astguiclient/ADMIN_update_server_ip.pl –old-server_ip=10.10.10.17

image 1

Step 7 – Patch the files for ViciDial to be able to use confbridges

cd /usr/src/astguiclient/trunk/extras/ConfBridge/
cp * /usr/share/astguiclient/
cd /usr/share/astguiclient/
mv manager_send.php.diff vdc_db_query.php.diff vicidial.php.diff /var/www/html/agc/
patch -p0 < ADMIN_keepalive_ALL.pl.diff
patch -p0 < ADMIN_update_server_ip.pl.diff
patch -p0 < AST_DB_optimize.pl.diff
chmod +x AST_conf_update_screen.pl
patch -p0 < AST_reset_mysql_vars.pl.diff
cd /var/www/html/agc/
patch -p0 < manager_send.php.diff
patch -p0 < vdc_db_query.php.diff
patch -p0 < vicidial.php.diff

Step 8 – Change the screens for Vicidial being used

A new screen session has been added called ‘AST_conf_update_screen.pl’. This screen session replaces both the AST_conf_update.pl and AST_conf_update_3way.pl scripts. It checks both MeetMe and ConfBridge conferences for unnecessary channels and removes them. For instance if an agent does a Leave 3way and a few minutes later one of the remaining channels hangs up. This script will remove the remaining channel and free the conference for use by Vicidial. This screen session is optional for use with MeetMe but is required to be used with ConfBridge.

Step 9 – Change /etc/astguiclient.conf

To enable this screen session you need to add a ‘C’ to the ‘VARactive_keepalives’ variable in the ‘/etc/astguiclient.conf’ on your dialers, and comment out the following line from your crontab:

### updater for conference validator #* * * * * /usr/share/astguiclient/AST_conf_update.pl

You can configure the refresh interval for how often the screen session checks for unnecessary channels by changing “Conf Update Interval” in Admin -> Servers.

Step 10- Make the needed changes in ViciDial GUI

Login to the ViciDial Admin GUI and go to Admin > Servers and click on the server(s) that are dialers and change the conferencing engine to “CONFBRIDGE” as shown above.

Step 11 – Add confbridge to manager.conf

nano /etc/asterisk/manager.conf
Go to the bottom and paste:

[confcron]
secret = 1234
read = command,reporting
write = command,reporting

eventfilter=Event: Meetme
eventfilter=Event: Confbridge

Step 12 – Fix the last bug to get “listen” and “barge” working

OK, so now we have to do some source code changes that will fix the issues with monitoring through the ViciDial real-time report. We’re going to be editing the non_agent_api.php in /your web directory.

For OpenSUSE its in /srv/www/htdocs/vicidial and for RedHat such as CentOS, Alma or Rocky its in /var/www/html/vicidial.

nano /var/www/html/vicidial/non_agent_api.php
Line 3295: Change vicidial_conferences to vicidial_confbridges like you see below:

image 4

You should now have your setup able to use confbridge.
