@andrewbyrd70 this is why people like Jared and I get lots of PBX support calls
-
@andrewbyrd70 said in Exploring VitalPBX:
@scottalanmiller Yes, I told him all the information I just told you. He knew they could dial out. He knew they showed registered (green) on the sip phone. He probably just didn't know what to do.
Then yeah, that's not good support.
-
@andrewbyrd70 one thing I do for a lot of testing is to dial into a conference room.
-
@scottalanmiller Funny you should say that - I changed the routing of the incoming DID # to forward to my cell phone. That worked fine. I just could never get ext to ext or DID to an ext to work.
-
Ah, that's a good test, too. What I was meaning though was have two extensions dial into a conf room and see if they can talk that way.
-
@andrewbyrd70 said in Exploring VitalPBX:
Yes, I am - I went to the extensions tab, created new ext 1001, selected PJSIP, , saved, and my key turned green. If I added a trunk, I could dial outboutn no issues, just no inbound or ext to ext
The logs when I tried to dial ext to ext or inbound said, "could not create pjsip route . . . )
This right here means you have something misconfigured in your firewall most likely.

Stop saying this. This means nothing.

@JaredBusch I am using Vultr VPS - no firewall issues. I have 10 vps servers with Vultr running Freepbx for different clients. Never had a firwall issue thus far.

FreePBX uses a different firewall than VitalPBX does. They use the same IPS, but different firewall styles. VitalPBX uses a plain firewall, and FreePBX uses responsive. They behave differently.

Bzzt wrong answer.
Which way is the problem? Inbound. This typically means you have something configured wrong either on the inbound router, or the endpoint itself.

That he registers means the problem is not on that side firewall.

I love your sense of humor Scott - Going to get a beer now

First, you need to figure out WTF you are doing wrong.
VitalPBX is Asterisk. Asterisk has all the answers.
First show the registratoin info.
rasterisk -x "pjsip show aor 1001"or
asterisk -rx "pjsip show aor 1001" -
and this
rasterisk -x "pjsip show endpoint 1001" -
OR I could just stick with what has worked for the past 5 years - FREEPBX. I am all about ease of setup and use.
It Vitalpbx wants me to change multiple settings and dance on one foot to get their product to work I don't need it. I can fire up a Freepbx server right now and have it working and ready to go in half an hour or less.
The only reason I explored Vitalpbx is for a client for multi-tenant.I do thank you for the suggestions, criticisms and insights though. You gave this to me freely and I do appreciate that - I really do.

While they support that, I'm not sure that it looks very interesting. FusionPBX is way more interesting for that kind of functionality, IMHO.

If you think FreePBX was easy the first time, then you have rose colored glasses on. take them off.
FreePBX is certainly not simple or straight forward to get right for a beginner.
Honestly, IMO, VitalPBX and FreePBX are about the same in that regard. The VitalPBX GUI is tons more friendly, but the settings and options are the same in both systems.

That said, I'm not a multi-tenant guy, I'm a single tenant engineer these days. So maybe Vital does something great there, but building multi-tenant on Asterisk seems like a nightmare.
