Commenting that line got rid of the voicemail.conf "error", but I'm not sure whether I want to create my buttons manually. Can you point me to an explanation of why I'd want to create them manually? I'd rather pull as much info as possible from the PBX.

After commenting that out, I still get this:

bind: Address already in use at script/fop2_server.pl line 10272

when I checked on port 4445, I get:

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:4445            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      2316/fop2_serve

Is it possible I have two instances of FOP2 running?

These are both new servers, FOP1 has never been installed on them.

I've got FOP2 installed on my Ubuntu VM (13.04 64-bit server) and Asterisk running on a Centos 6 64-bit physical server.

I've configured the manager.conf file on the PBX and the fop2.cfg file on Ubuntu. I've also added some extensions with groups to fop2.cfg and corresponding VMs to voicemail.conf on the PBX.

When I run:

/usr/local/fop2/fop2_server --test

on the Ubuntu server, I get

cat: /etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf: No such file or directory
Connection to manager OK!

When I run:

/usr/local/fop2/fop2_server -X 15

I get:

cat: /etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf: No such file or directory
bind: Address already in use at script/fop2_server.pl line 10272

Is there some more documentation on manual configuration? (manually pointing my FOP2 server to the voicemail.conf, etc) or maybe something simple I'm missing here?

I'm hoping either someone can help with something that seems it might be fairly simple, or that there's a step-by-step guide for setting FOP2 up on a server separate from the Asterisk PBX.

Here's where I'm at:
I get an "OK!" from the manager connection test, but I also get the following from "-X 15":

"cat: /etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf: No such file or directory

Can't listen to port 4445"

The webserver (for FOP2) is Ubuntu 13.04, the PBX is CentOS 6.4

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm preparing my test environments, and hopefully this isn't a dumb question but, does FOP2 install on the Asterisk server, or can/do you install it on another server with hooks into the PBX?

Can anyone point me to some in-depth, unbiased reviews of FOP2?

My company is looking to integrate it into a new PBX system and we'd like to know what people think, particularly in comparison to some competing products (Fonality HUD, etc.)
