Unable to install freeswitch

[Siddharth Saha]

Hi,

I am new to Plivo and am trying to install it on Ubuntu. I have been
for almost 2 days now and every time I encounter some problems while
installing freeswitch using the procedure in the Getting started guide
on Plivo website.

I am getting this error-

Creating mod_spandsp.la

I don't know how to fix this. Can someone please help?

Thanks.

Ah,

can you reinstall from scratch :
rm -rf /usr/local/plivo
sh plivo_install_beta.sh /usr/local/plivo

I think your plivo config is outdated .

Well, yes, I did that and it is now running. 

For reference, here is what I did - 

• Kept freeswitch running
• Installed plivo - sudo sh plivo_install_beta.sh /usr/local/plivo
• Descended to plivo directory - cd /usr/local/plivo/bin
• Activated the virtual environment which came with plivo - source activate (activate file is in /usr/local/plivo/bin itself)
• Then started plivo - sudo ./plivo start which started it-

Plivo-Rest [default] started

Plivo-Outbound [default] started

The status can be obtained with sudo ./plivo status.

Thanks for the help.

Ok =)

the weird thing is the starter plivo script must activate virtualenv :(
(in script /usr/local/plivo/bin/plivo the variable VENV_ON )

I am now trying to do something in Plivo. I am under the impression that default.conf is currently being used by plivo REST server. 

I changed the AUTH_ID and AUTH_TOKEN to siddharth and saha respectively and now I am trying to access http://siddharth:sa...@127.0.0.1:8088. But it gives me a popup saying - "You are about to log in with username but the website does not require authentication. This might be to trick you. Do you want to continue?" 

On saying Yes, it gives a 401 Unauthorized error. What is the matter?

The default.conf looks ok to me with 127.0.0.1 in the ALLOWED_IPS. I have also restarted plivo after changing the default.conf. Doesn't seem to work.

Yes it's the normal way because you can't use GET for accessing REST api .

The best way (and easy way) is to use one of the plivo helper library :

http://www.plivo.org/docs/helper-libraries/

and using your AUTH_ID and AUTH_TOKEN in it .
