GETTING ODBC STORAGE WITH POSTGRESQL WORKING WITH VOICEMAIL
|
|
|
|
1) Install PostgreSQL, PostgreSQL-devel, unixODBC, and unixODBC-devel, and
|
|
PostgreSQL-ODBC. Make sure PostgreSQL is running and listening on a TCP socket.
|
|
|
|
2) Log into your server as root, and then type:
|
|
|
|
[root@localhost ~]# su - postgres
|
|
|
|
This will log you into the system as the "postgres" user, so that you can
|
|
create a new role and database within the PostgreSQL database system. At the
|
|
new prompt, type:
|
|
|
|
$ createuser -s -D -R -l -P -e asterisk
|
|
Enter password for new role:
|
|
Enter it again:
|
|
|
|
Obviously you should enter a password when prompted. This creates the
|
|
database role (or user).
|
|
|
|
Next we need to create the asterisk database. Type:
|
|
|
|
$ createdb -O asterisk -e asterisk
|
|
|
|
This creates the database and sets the owner of the database to the asterisk
|
|
role.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next, make sure that
|
|
you are using md5 authentication for the database user. The line in my
|
|
/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf looks like:
|
|
|
|
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
|
|
local asterisk asterisk md5
|
|
local all all ident sameuser
|
|
# IPv4 local connections:
|
|
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
|
|
|
|
As soon as you're done editing that file, log out as the postgres user.
|
|
|
|
3) Make sure you have the PostgreSQL odbc driver setup in /etc/odbcinst.ini.
|
|
Mine looks like:
|
|
|
|
[PostgreSQL]
|
|
Description = ODBC for PostgreSQL
|
|
Driver = /usr/lib/libodbcpsql.so
|
|
Setup = /usr/lib/libodbcpsqlS.so
|
|
FileUsage = 1
|
|
|
|
You can confirm that unixODBC is seeing the driver by typing:
|
|
|
|
[jsmith2@localhost tmp]$ odbcinst -q -d
|
|
[PostgreSQL]
|
|
|
|
|
|
4) Setup a DSN in /etc/odbc.ini, pointing at the PostgreSQL database and
|
|
driver. Mine looks like:
|
|
|
|
[testing]
|
|
Description = ODBC Testing
|
|
Driver = PostgreSQL
|
|
Trace = No
|
|
TraceFile = sql.log
|
|
Database = asterisk
|
|
Servername = 127.0.0.1
|
|
UserName = asterisk
|
|
Password = supersecret
|
|
Port = 5432
|
|
ReadOnly = No
|
|
RowVersioning = No
|
|
ShowSystemTables = No
|
|
ShowOidColumn = No
|
|
FakeOidIndex = No
|
|
ConnSettings =
|
|
|
|
You can confirm that unixODBC sees your DSN by typing:
|
|
|
|
[jsmith2@localhost tmp]$ odbcinst -q -s
|
|
[testing]
|
|
|
|
|
|
5) Test your database connectivity through ODBC. If this doesn't work,
|
|
something is wrong with your ODBC setup.
|
|
|
|
[jsmith2@localhost tmp]$ echo "select 1" | isql -v testing
|
|
+---------------------------------------+
|
|
| Connected! |
|
|
| |
|
|
| sql-statement |
|
|
| help [tablename] |
|
|
| quit |
|
|
| |
|
|
+---------------------------------------+
|
|
SQL> +------------+
|
|
| ?column? |
|
|
+------------+
|
|
| 1 |
|
|
+------------+
|
|
SQLRowCount returns 1
|
|
1 rows fetched
|
|
|
|
If your ODBC connectivity to PostgreSQL isn't working, you'll see an error
|
|
message instead, like this:
|
|
|
|
[jsmith2@localhost tmp]$ echo "select 1" | isql -v testing
|
|
[S1000][unixODBC]Could not connect to the server;
|
|
Could not connect to remote socket.
|
|
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect
|
|
bash: echo: write error: Broken pipe
|
|
|
|
6) Compile Asterisk with support for ODBC voicemail. Go to your Asterisk
|
|
source directory and run `make menuselect`. Under "Voicemail Build Options",
|
|
enable "ODBC_STORAGE".
|
|
# See doc/README.odbcstorage for more information
|
|
|
|
Recompile Asterisk and install the new version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7) Once you've recompiled and re-installed Asterisk, check to make sure
|
|
res_odbc.so has been compiled.
|
|
|
|
localhost*CLI> show modules like res_odbc.so
|
|
Module Description Use Count
|
|
res_odbc.so ODBC Resource 0
|
|
1 modules loaded
|
|
|
|
|
|
8) Now it's time to get Asterisk configured. First, we need to tell Asterisk
|
|
about our ODBC setup. Open /etc/asterisk/res_odbc.conf and add the following:
|
|
|
|
[postgres]
|
|
enabled => yes
|
|
dsn => testing
|
|
pre-connect => yes
|
|
|
|
9) At the Asterisk CLI, unload and then load the res_odbc.so module. (You
|
|
could restart Asterisk as well, but this way makes it easier to tell what's
|
|
happening.) Notice how it says it's connected to "postgres", which is our ODBC
|
|
connection as defined in res_odbc.conf, which points to the "testing" DSN in
|
|
ODBC.
|
|
|
|
localhost*CLI> unload res_odbc.so
|
|
Jan 2 21:19:36 WARNING[8130]: res_odbc.c:498 odbc_obj_disconnect: res_odbc: disconnected 0 from postgres [testing]

|
|
Jan 2 21:19:40 NOTICE[8130]: res_odbc.c:600 load_module: res_odbc loaded.
|
|
|
|
You can also check the status of your ODBC connection at any time from the
|
|
Asterisk CLI:
|
|
|
|
localhost*CLI> odbc show
|
|
Name: postgres
|
|
DSN: testing
|
|
Connected: yes
|
|
|
|
10) Now we can setup our voicemail table in PostgreSQL. Log into PostgreSQL and
|
|
type (or copy and paste) the following:
|
|
|
|
--
|
|
-- First, let's create our large object type, called "lo"
|
|
--
|
|
CREATE FUNCTION loin (cstring) RETURNS lo AS 'oidin' LANGUAGE internal IMMUTABLE STRICT;
|
|
CREATE FUNCTION loout (lo) RETURNS cstring AS 'oidout' LANGUAGE internal IMMUTABLE STRICT;
|
|
CREATE FUNCTION lorecv (internal) RETURNS lo AS 'oidrecv' LANGUAGE internal IMMUTABLE STRICT;
|
|
CREATE FUNCTION losend (lo) RETURNS bytea AS 'oidrecv' LANGUAGE internal IMMUTABLE STRICT;
|
|
|
|
CREATE TYPE lo ( INPUT = loin, OUTPUT = loout, RECEIVE = lorecv, SEND = losend, INTERNALLENGTH = 4, PASSEDBYVALUE );
|
|
CREATE CAST (lo AS oid) WITHOUT FUNCTION AS IMPLICIT;
|
|
CREATE CAST (oid AS lo) WITHOUT FUNCTION AS IMPLICIT;
|
|
|
|
--
|
|
-- If we're not already using plpgsql, then let's use it!
|
|
--
|
|
CREATE TRUSTED LANGUAGE plpgsql;
|
|
|
|
--
|
|
-- Next, let's create a trigger to cleanup the large object table
|
|
-- whenever we update or delete a row from the voicemessages table
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
CREATE FUNCTION vm_lo_cleanup() RETURNS "trigger"
|
|
AS $$
|
|
declare
|
|
msgcount INTEGER;
|
|
begin
|
|
-- raise notice 'Starting lo_cleanup function for large object with oid %',old.recording;
|
|
-- If it is an update action but the BLOB (lo) field was not changed, dont do anything
|
|
if (TG_OP = 'UPDATE') then
|
|
if ((old.recording = new.recording) or (old.recording is NULL)) then
|
|
raise notice 'Not cleaning up the large object table, as recording has not changed';
|
|
return new;
|
|
end if;
|
|
end if;
|
|
if (old.recording IS NOT NULL) then
|
|
SELECT INTO msgcount COUNT(*) AS COUNT FROM voicemessages WHERE recording = old.recording;
|
|
if (msgcount > 0) then
|
|
raise notice 'Not deleting record from the large object table, as object is still referenced';
|
|
return new;
|
|
else
|
|
perform lo_unlink(old.recording);
|
|
if found then
|
|
raise notice 'Cleaning up the large object table';
|
|
return new;
|
|
else
|
|
raise exception 'Failed to cleanup the large object table';
|
|
return old;
|
|
end if;
|
|
end if;
|
|
else
|
|
raise notice 'No need to cleanup the large object table, no recording on old row';
|
|
return new;
|
|
end if;
|
|
end$$
|
|
LANGUAGE plpgsql;
|
|
|
|
--
|
|
-- Now, let's create our voicemessages table
|
|
-- This is what holds the voicemail from Asterisk
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
CREATE TABLE voicemessages
|
|
(
|
|
uniqueid serial PRIMARY KEY,
|
|
msgnum int4,
|
|
dir varchar(80),
|
|
context varchar(80),
|
|
macrocontext varchar(80),
|
|
callerid varchar(40),
|
|
origtime varchar(40),
|
|
duration varchar(20),
|
|
mailboxuser varchar(80),
|
|
mailboxcontext varchar(80),
|
|
recording lo,
|
|
label varchar(30),
|
|
"read" bool DEFAULT false
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
--
|
|
-- Let's not forget to make the voicemessages table use the trigger
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
CREATE TRIGGER vm_cleanup AFTER DELETE OR UPDATE ON voicemessages FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE vm_lo_cleanup();
|
|
|
|
|
|
11) Just as a sanity check, make sure you check the voicemessages table via the
|
|
isql utility.
|
|
|
|
[jsmith2@localhost ODBC]$ echo "SELECT id, msgnum, dir, duration FROM voicemessages WHERE msgnum = 1" | isql testing
|
|
+---------------------------------------+
|
|
| Connected! |
|
|
| |
|
|
| sql-statement |
|
|
| help [tablename] |
|
|
| quit |
|
|
| |
|
|
+---------------------------------------+
|
|

|
|
| id | msgnum | dir | duration |
|
|
+------------+------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+
|
|
+------------+------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+
|
|
SQLRowCount returns 0
|
|
|
|
|
|
12) Now we can finally configure voicemail in Asterisk to use our database.
|
|
Open /etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf, and look in the [general] section. I've
|
|
changed the format to gsm (as I can't seem to get WAV or wav working), and
|
|
specify both the odbc connection and database table to use.
|
|
|
|
[general]
|
|
; Default formats for writing Voicemail
|
|
;format=g723sf|wav49|wav
|
|
format=gsm
|
|
odbcstorage=postgres
|
|
odbctable=voicemessages
|
|
|
|
You'll also want to create a new voicemail context called "odbctest" to do some
|
|
testing, and create a sample mailbox inside that context. Add the following to
|
|
the very bottom of voicemail.conf:
|
|
|
|
[odbctest]
|
|
101 => 5555,Example Mailbox
|
|
|
|
|
|
13) Once you've updated voicemail.conf, let's make the changes take effect:
|
|
|
|
localhost*CLI> unload app_voicemail.so
|
|
== Unregistered application 'VoiceMail'
|
|
== Unregistered application 'VoiceMailMain'
|
|
== Unregistered application 'MailboxExists'
|
|
== Unregistered application 'VMAuthenticate'
|
|
localhost*CLI> load app_voicemail.so
|
|
Loaded /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/app_voicemail.so => (Comedian Mail (Voicemail System))
|
|
== Registered application 'VoiceMail'
|
|
== Registered application 'VoiceMailMain'
|
|
== Registered application 'MailboxExists'
|
|
== Registered application 'VMAuthenticate'
|
|
== Parsing '/etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf': Found
|
|
|
|
You can check to make sure your new mailbox exists by typing:
|
|
|
|
localhost*CLI> show voicemail users for odbctest
|
|
Context Mbox User Zone NewMsg
|
|
odbctest 101 Example Mailbox 0
|
|
|
|
|
|
14) Now, let's add a new context called "odbc" to extensions.conf. We'll use
|
|
these extensions to do some testing:
|
|
|
|
[odbc]
|
|
exten => 100,1,Voicemail(101@odbctest)
|
|
exten => 200,1,VoicemailMain(101@odbctest)
|
|
|
|
|
|
15) Next, we need to point a phone at the odbc context. In my case, I've got a
|
|
SIP phone called "linksys" that is registering to Asterisk, so I'm setting its
|
|
context to the [odbc] context we created in the previous step. The relevant
|
|
section of my sip.conf file looks like:
|
|
|
|
[linksys]
|
|
type=friend
|
|
secret=verysecret
|
|
disallow=all
|
|
allow=ulaw
|
|
allow=gsm
|
|
context=odbc
|
|
host=dynamic
|
|
qualify=yes
|
|
|
|
I can check to see that my linksys phone is registered with Asterisk correctly:
|
|
|
|
localhost*CLI> sip show peers like linksys
|
|
Name/username Host Dyn Nat ACL Port Status
|
|
linksys/linksys 192.168.0.103 D 5060 OK (9 ms)
|
|
1 sip peers [1 online , 0 offline]
|
|
|
|
|
|
16) At last, we're finally ready to leave a voicemail message and have it
|
|
stored in our database! (Who'd have guessed it would be this much trouble?!?)
|
|
Pick up the phone, dial extension 100, and leave yourself a voicemail message.
|
|
In my case, this is what appeared on the Asterisk CLI:
|
|
|
|
localhost*CLI>
|
|
-- Executing VoiceMail("SIP/linksys-10228cac", "101@odbctest") in new stack
|
|
-- Playing 'vm-intro' (language 'en')
|
|
-- Playing 'beep' (language 'en')
|
|
-- Recording the message
|
|
-- x=0, open writing: /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/odbctest/101/tmp/dlZunm format: gsm, 0x101f6534
|
|
-- User ended message by pressing #
|
|
-- Playing 'auth-thankyou' (language 'en')
|
|
== Parsing '/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/odbctest/101/INBOX/msg0000.txt': Found
|
|
|
|
Now, we can check the database and make sure the record actually made it into
|
|
PostgreSQL, from within the psql utility.
|
|
|
|
[jsmith2@localhost ~]$ psql
|
|
Password:
|
|
Welcome to psql 8.1.4, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
|
|
|
|

|

|
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
|
|
\q to quit
|
|
|
|
asterisk=# SELECT * FROM voicemessages;
|
|
id | msgnum | dir | context | macrocontext | callerid | origtime | duration | mailboxuser | mailboxcontext | recording | label | read | sip_id | pabx_id | iax_id
|
|
----+--------+--------------------------------------------------+---------+--------------+-----------------------+------------+----------+-------------+----------------+-----------+-------+------+--------+---------+--------
|
|
26 | 0 | /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/odbctest/101/INBOX | odbc | | "linksys" <linksys> | 1167794179 | 7 | 101 | odbctest | 16599 | | f | | |
|
|
(1 row)
|
|
|
|
Did you notice the the recording column is just a number? When a recording
|
|
gets stuck in the database, the audio isn't actually stored in the
|
|
voicemessages table. It's stored in a system table called the large object
|
|
table. We can look in the large object table and verify that the object
|
|
actually exists there:
|
|
|
|
asterisk=# \lo_list
|
|
Large objects
|
|
ID | Description
|
|
-------+-------------
|
|
16599 |
|
|
(1 row)
|
|
|
|
In my case, the OID is 16599. Your OID will almost surely be different. Just
|
|
make sure the OID number in the recording column in the voicemessages table
|
|
corresponds with a record in the large object table. (The trigger we added to
|
|
our voicemessages table was designed to make sure this is always the case.)
|
|
|
|
We can also pull a copy of the voicemail message back out of the database and
|
|
write it to a file, to help us as we debug things:
|
|
|
|
asterisk=# \lo_export 16599 /tmp/odcb-16599.gsm
|
|
lo_export
|
|
|
|
We can even listen to the file from the Linux command line:
|
|
|
|
[jsmith2@localhost tmp]$ play /tmp/odcb-16599.gsm
|
|
|
|
Input Filename : /tmp/odcb-16599.gsm
|
|
Sample Size : 8-bits
|
|
Sample Encoding: gsm
|
|
Channels : 1
|
|
Sample Rate : 8000
|
|
|
|
Time: 00:06.22 [00:00.00] of 00:00.00 ( 0.0%) Output Buffer: 298.36K
|
|
|
|
Done.
|
|
|
|
|
|
17) Last but not least, we can pull the voicemail message back out of the
|
|
database by dialing extension 200 and entering "5555" at the password prompt.
|
|
You should see something like this on the Asterisk CLI:
|
|
|
|
localhost*CLI>
|
|

|
That's it!
