Hi,

I have got an error message "

Could not open buddy file '/etc/asterisk/additional_a2billing_sip.conf'
while adding SIP FREIND in a2billing by clicking to GENERATE_ADDITIONAL_A@BILLING_SIP.CONF

I have edited a2billing.conf in /usr/local/etc/asterisk/ directory
(i have freebsd 6.2R OS) but no results !

can anyone help me ? here & how to point out the problem ?

I already add include statement in sip.conf & iax.conf.

is the file existing in /etc/asterisk ?

is it chmodded correctly ?

no, cause in freebsd, asterisk is located at /usr/local/etc/asterisk. In linux
its in /etc/asterisk.

Yes I chmoded correctly.

I saw error :

Could not open buddy file '/etc/asterisk/additional_a2billing_sip.conf'

but my file path is in Could not open buddy file '/usr/local/etc/asterisk/additional_a2billing_sip.conf'

how can i change that ? what will be proper chmod ? for this path ?

regards

Added after 3 hours 41 minutes:

At last I got the reason & fix it !

i edit the file in /usr/local/www/data-dist/A2Billing_UI/lib/Class.A2Billing.php and edit the asterisk2billing path
from /etc/asterisk to /usr/local/etc/asterisk to suit FreeBSD OS need.

Now I can add SIP & IAX Friend and can reload Asterisk & my web gui
is able to write config in additional_a2billing_sip.conf and iax aswell.

thanks for everything.

this i make chmod 777 /etc/asterisk/additional_a2billing_sip.conf
chmod +x chmod 777 /etc/asterisk/additional_a2billing_sip.conf

But nothing and this error no happens before

also I look Class.A2Billing.php
define('AST_CONFIG_DIR', '/etc/asterisk/');
define('DEFAULT_A2BILLING_CONFIG', AST_CONFIG_DIR . '/a2billing.conf');

and this is correct any more idea where is the problem

I spent a while looking at Arturo's CentOS 5 machine.
I couldn't figure out what was going on; permissions don't work like they do on every distro I've used previously. Editing CC_generate_friend.php to fopen() the buddy file in "w+" mode rather than "w" was the only thing that affected the outcome. Most strange.

I've had some recent experience with CentOS, too.
The point is that it uses SELinux. That makes things different than what we've been used too.

Think of it as a /double-layered/ security model: you perform the usual unix-like actions, and then you need to *confirm* them in selinux. Chmod-ing some file may not work on the first go. For one, I would expect SELinux to really /punish/ you for attempting a 777 mode.

Carefully looking at the logs, though, was useful and had clear pointers to the solutions.

Thanks for that xrg. Of course, SElinux! It's obvious now you've said it. Usually folks warn me when SElinux is involved.
As you hinted, setting permissive mode and building a policy based on the warnings in /var/log/messages (after testing every function in A2B) is the solution.

Yes you are right . Many hours and I no look this.

I have other servers with asterisk and centos 5 but use other software and always put Selinux in permissive mode or Selinux OFF

This Time I install the server in X mode and Put Selinux OFF -- Reboot
and install php and all the staff
.- Install asterisk
.- Install a2billing

Now the server work fine

Really this misted is possible take you many hours
THanks to starvos for the chat we make
