Hi all,
After failing to install a2billing 1.7 due to LICENSE VIOLATION message, and not being able to fix it I installed version 1.6.0 that I was playing with a while back. Installation was successful with this one and all the web pages were great. However, when I tried to make a call then there was nothing happening. No prompt to enter PIN/Destination, nothing..no real error reported on /var/log/asterisk/messages.

As I am new to all these command line sytems, I spent more than 8 hours non stop looking for tips and solutions on A2billing forums but found nothing that matched my problem. I managed to gather below information as requested in other posts with similiar problems.

Could someone please advise what could be wrong.

Just one more note, now a2billing.php is giving below error. I have made no changes whatsoever.

Hi

The license violation will only appear if you have changed the the copyright or license display, or have mucked up the installation.

Turning up the verbosity in A2Billing agi-conf may help identify the problem you are having.

Also ensure you are using PHP 5.2 with the appropriate dependencies.

Hi Joe,
Thank you for the quick response. LICENSE VIOLATION message was displayed out of the fresh install of version 1.71. when I managed to successfully log on the first time.

PHP 5.3.2 (cli) is my PHP version. Will installing PHP 5.2 help solve the problem?

I will retry installing version 1.7.1 and see how it goes. I did not do any testing on that one as soon as I noticed links not expanding as I could not add customers or do anything else. Just in case, could you suggest how to remove that message and get the links working if it comes back with the fresh install.

Thanks heaps.

Hi

We would recommend PHP version 5.2. I believe there is work going on at the moment to make A2Billing compatible with PHP version 5.3

As I said, you will never get the license violation message, unless you violate the AGPL license under which you can use the software. That is to say removing the AGPL license message from where ever it is displayed, or removing the copyright information from where ever it is displayed, e.g. endeavouring to pass A2billing off as your own. There is a mechanism to purchase a permission to remove the license, http://www.star2billing.com/licensing

The only other way I can think of that it displays is that you have bodged the installation in a completely new and imaginative way.

Hi Joe and forum members,
Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction.

As per your instructions I have installed PHP-5.2 and after spending hours to tweak everything together I have finally managed to hear the voice during test call, and the LICENSE VIOLATION message has disappeared after second install of a2billing 1.7.1.

Now, when I try to add a customer from the admin page it says the detail has been successfully inserted, but it does not exist in mysql DB at all. However, when I tried to add a provider name it got saved in mysql DB and got displayed on the page. So far I have tried adding a customer and an agent, and even though it says record added successfully it does not exist in the database.

It will be really appreciated if someone got spare some time to give me some hints.

Thanks in advance.
