Many thanks for the feedback.
Yes I have flash player. Here's what I get using the following command.

[root@localhost fop2]# iptables -vnL
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination

The telnet client returned "connection timeout" from port 4445

But from your descriprions, I think I know what's happening. I'm trying to access the server from outside the LAN, and port 4445 is not forwarded to the server through the router. I'll fix that and let you know what happens.

Cheers,

Andy

I am a newbie, so please go easy (i.e. step by step) on linux and asterisk syntax. I am trying to set up FOP 2 on top of a recent installation of Asterisknow, using FreePBX. I think I am getting the same symptoms as described by this thread starter. I can launch the login page at http://www.mydomain.com/fop2, but when I attempt to login using the extension number and password, the webpage sits there for multiple attempts before returning a yellow circle with an exclamation mark saying "Could not connect to server".

I have followed all the installation instructions very carefully and am using the following configuration:

I have defined three extensions 200, 201, 202 (for testing) with one mailbox and password setup on extension 200.

Operating System: CentOS release 5.3 (Final)
Distribution: fop2-001-i386-glibc2.5-centos5.tgz
Software Version: FreePBX 2.6.0.1 (all modules report up to date)

Manager.conf username and password are copied to /usr/local/fop2/fop2.cfg
FOP(1): /var/www/html/panel/op_server.cfg changed to listen port 4444
FOP2: /usr/local/fop2/fop2.cfg master password defined

I have run from the console:

[root@localhost fop2]# ./autoconfig-users-freepbx.sh -> (seems to configure a list of users on the console)
[root@localhost fop2]# ./autoconfig-buttons-freepbx.sh -> (seems to configure a list of buttons on the console)

[root@localhost fop2]# /usr/local/fop2/fop2_server --test
Flash Operator Panel 2 - No valid license found. Demo Mode
Connection to manager OK!

[root@localhost fop2]# pgrep fop2_server
2632 (I don't know if this is a good thing or not)

[root@localhost fop2]# netstat -lnp fop2_server -> (returns a long list of info):

-------------------------------------

Basically, now I'm a bit stuck as to what to do next in order to get past the login screen.

Also... (slight change of topic), Can FOP2 appear under the "Panel" tab in FreePBX, to replace the old FOP?

Many thanks for all your hard work.
