Well... it's acting differently...

So my 'test' system that had been running AsteriskNOW Beta 1 indicated that it had 'successfully' updated to Beta 2. Cool...

Logged into the RAA GUI and poked around, civil enough...

Logged into the Asterisk GUI, login prompt, ok... Hmmm... a setup 'wizard'? Ok... Says "no analog ports detected - hit next to continue of correct" - true enough so let's onward... Hit 'Next'.

Prompts for time/date, ok... Ummm... bounced back to login screen? Odd but whynot... Login again... Back to setup wizard... Analog ports... Date/time... Login screen?!?

Hmmm.... anyone else seeing this behavioural loop? Seems to be stuck here... Reboot system... back to the loop...

Well... at least this time the GUI actually does something!

Ok... it is something pecular to (linux) Firefox 1.5.0.8 with Noscript...

Firefox 2.0.0.1 without Noscript on Windows does just fine...

Oddly... the development server is listed as a 'trusted' site in the Noscript configuration, so one would not expect it to get in the way, but...

May not be limited to just Linux Firefox. I'm getting the same problem, with three variants.

1) I already ran through the setup wizard yesterday when I installed Beta2 from scratch. Everything installed and configured fine, then I was able to log in straight to the configuration gui multiple times to configure everything without a hitch, and certainly without being bounced back to the wizard.

2) It's reporting now that there aren't any analogue ports, when I have a wildcard with 4 analogue ports, all of which were detected yesterday during install, and it allowed me to configure during setup and config.

3) I'm using FireFox 2.0.0.1 under XP Pro SP2. Support for IE isn't 100% there right now, so I nabbed opera, and it works just fine.

I had the same problem come up again while I was doing some configuration on my asterisk box - hadn't run into it since yesterday, when the problem went away and didn't come back. My first thought was to restart the system, which I did. When I looked at the server shutting down, I saw that the wildcard and zaptel services failed shutdown. I can't say which one's for sure, but it's the only time I've seen services fail startup or shutdown on this machine. I'm wondering if it may be related.

Also turns out that rebooting didn't solve it.

DID notice, however, that when I logged in using Opera, it didn't alert me about the invalid certificate (identified as localhost.localdomain), and didn't work. But Firefox DID alert me, and DID work. I'm really just thinking aloud here as I go along, but I'm curious if anyone else has noticed this.

Same issue here. I am able to get farther with Opera. It seems to take several minutes to load a page though. Right now I am stuck on the screen to add service providers.

Firefox did not show any devices detected and sent back to the main screen.

Good luck everyone.

I had some of the same experiences with the wizard. I ran system updates using rPath (System Configuration at top of gui page) and the wizard ran sucessfully.

I'm also following the Asterisk book and wanted to compile the ztdummy driver and it refers to a line to uncomment in the Makefile. Where is the Makefile located?

TIA

This is probably due to Asterisk detecting and loading an additional module.

As root (sudo su -)
# service asterisk stop
# service zaptel stop

At this point zaptel will more than likely complain about not terminating.

# lsmod

look for the module that is in use by zaptel. You'll want to add this to /etc/sysconfig/zaptel, this is what the zaptel service script uses to load the modules (hence why reboot didnt fix it)

Uncomment the appropriate line for the module that is being loaded, it should stop as normal now.

I've not had the Gui Setup Wiz issue for a few days now, but I just had it today after I rebooted my server through the RPath agent. I had a web client session open to the main asterisknow config page, another to the RPath agent page, and two SSH terms open, and initiated a reboot. When the system came back online, I opened the IP addy in Opera, and have been forced to the Asterisk GUI Setup Wizard, only to discover that it's not taking my password now - admin or root.

Firefox, however, works fine.

I have now had this twice and I am getting very low trust in the product!!

It appears only to happen when you go to the appliance System Config Web page that re-authenticates you and then after tooling around the system locks up completely and then you do a controlled Alt F1 and reboot from menu.

After coming backup you are now stuck in a Wizrd Setup endless loop.

This system ? aaR Appliance ?? login and pages has many bugs in it that need to worked out really fast!!

Patience and trust is very low! - Rex

Web browser choices don't seem to change the affliction.
