Hi,
Hope you will be fine. I am running asterisk 1.4.18.1. when i connect to asterisk using Xlite and then try to listen the recorded message it says

[Mar 2 16:57:01] NOTICE[5198]: res_odbc.c:530 odbc_obj_connect: Connecting voipodbc
[Mar 2 16:57:01] NOTICE[5251]: app_voicemail.c:4838 open_mailbox: Resequencing Mailbox: /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/brights/220/Old
[Mar 2 16:57:17] NOTICE[5198]: res_odbc.c:544 odbc_obj_connect: res_odbc: Connected to voipodbc [Mysql-asterisk]
[Mar 2 16:57:49] WARNING[5251]: file.c:644 ast_readaudio_callback: Failed to write frame
== Spawn extension (office, *, 1) exited non-zero on ‘SIP/203-09da2080′

and the message did not play but it says you have message from 203 and then take a long pause and then says press this for new message, It is not playing the message. Any idea. Is this firewall issue?
Thanks

I had same problem as Luke.
It wasn’t to do with iptables/firewalls. The port was open but asterisk wasn’t listening on that port for some reason.
I had to add a variable: bindport = 5060 (or whichever port you are setting the extensions with) in one of the config files.
Hope that helps someone.

Hi Luke,

That just means X-lite can’t connect to Asterisk. Could iptables be running on the Asterisk server (try – “iptables –list”), is Asterisk definitely running (try – “asterisk -rv”), is the Asterisk server behind a NAT router?

im getting a 408 timeout in x-lite. this is my first attempt at asterisk as well as voip telephony so im sure its something quite obvious but it escapes me.

Hi Joseph, it does sound like you’re using either the wrong IP address or server name to connect to. Or maybe if it’s your Asterisk server the connections are being blocked on there by iptables?

I got a registration error: 404 not found with my x lite softphone..

I am sure the address i use in the x lite account is valid.
