Conference Room email?

[completetech]

where is the file stored for the conference room if the option is checked to record? and is there a way to have it emailed to a specific email?

Thanks,
Nathan

Bump!
I have enabled recording on all conference calls, and I can see them using "Recordings..." and logging in as Admin...
But what I want to do is one of the two things.
1.) Create a user that has access to view/delete these recordings - and nothing else.
2.) (Ideally) E-mail the recordings to a specified e-mail address and then delete from the system (limited HD space).

Thanks,

Perhaps a script that could be run every x minutes that would move the files to a Windows networked share?
If that would work - anyone have hints/tips/prewritten script for that?

Basically you're going to have to learn how to use Samba and then make a cron job that runs every night.

Geez. If you want to know where the file is then go to "Recordings..." after logging in as Admin.

Playback the file through your browser.

Look in the HTML source code for any files with the.wav extension.

copy that file name.

Login on through SSH.

run the command 'updatedb'

run 'locate filename.wav'

voila!

I didn't find it that way - but a quick Google search told me right where they were at.
My question is more related to how can I - someone who has never touched Linux before in my life - set up *something* so that these recordings are easily available to the company? Either a network file share, group e-mail, etc.

You could do something like this:

Edit the Samba config file:

vi /etc/samba/smb.conf

Go to the bottom of the file, hit 'i'. Copy, paste and edit the text below:

[Conference]
   comment = Global Conference Share - All Users
   path = /path/to/conference/wav/folder
   read only = Yes
   guest ok = Yes
   public = Yes
   browseable = Yes
   create mask = 0666
   directory mask = 0777

Run

service smb start

Connect over NetBIOS to said machine from a windows computer and you should see the share. Remember to login as guest.

If you want I can also tell you how to assign user accounts instead of using guest.

Thank you, I will give it a try.
When you say connect over NetBIOS, is that done any different than how I would normally connect to a share? (\\ipaddress\share) or (\\fqdn\share)
Thanks,

Yes. Though you'll find more luck using ip addresses than fqdn with Samba and Linus

Not having luck with either, sadly.
I completed the steps you mentioned above; however, I can't seem to connect from my Windows PC. Are there any other sections in the Samba configuration that I need to worry about updating, or should they work out of the box?

What happens with you try to connect.

Timeout?

User Prompt?

Access Denied?

Edit: The settings in a standard CentOS Distro are fine without being touched.

Times out, I tried to connect using both:
\\ipaddress\
\\ipaddress\Conference

I tried on both a Win7 machine, and a Server 2003 machine.
Times out each time.

Try to make sure all firewalls and fail2ban is disabled and iptables is off.

I just checked my PIAF with Samba and it worked. However my client computers are all Mac and since Mac uses Samba as well it probably makes it easier to connect.

Run status on the command line and make sure Samba is ONLINE

I did the following:
service ip6tables stop
service iptables stop
fail2ban-client stop

They are now showing as offline, Samba is showing as online.

I am now prompted for for authentication.
Nothing I try seems to work, I'll keep trying - but in case you are still monitoring this... What should I enter for User / Password to connect?
I've tried
Guest - Blank
/Guest - Blank
ipaddress/Guest - Blank

Root - properpassword
/Root - properpassword
ipaddress/Root - properpassword.

You havent set a Samba password for root and I would advise against that as it's a baaaaddddd idea.

Anyways,

Try these accounts:

guest, pcguest, smbguest

All lowercase. Guest won't work because you have a capital G and Linux is VERY case sensitive!

Nothing yet.
Is this normal?
I go to start -> run and type \\ipaddress\Conference
It takes about 2 minutes to even prompt me for user/pass.
At this point, all I can do is enter user/pass, it defaults to my Domain (because my computer is on a domain).
I am assuming I don't want to connect using my domain... So I try to make the user
\guest
\pcguest
\smbguest

I've also tried all 3 combinations using the IP address in front of the \, no luck.

On another computer (Windows Server 2003) it never even prompts me for the user/pass and just times out eventually.

Got it, even if it isn't the best solution!
I had to add a password to a user.
First I did this with a user I created (Recordings); however, the mask on the folder doesn't work properly. Even though the mask says to give read/execute access to all new files, all *new* recording files only give read/execute to the owner.
The owner is asterisk.
So I added a samba password to asterisk and connected to the file share using asterisk//password.
Good to go!

Make sure you go to webmin and click auto-start for samba. Otherwise on power outage days you'll have unhappy users when your system turns back on and they can't access their shares

Ever since making these changes earlier I can't do anything in the FreePBX Administration page - it says the Asterisk service is not running - can't connect to it...
Could this have anything to do with me giving an SMB (samba) password to the user asterisk?
As soon as all calls are complete I will reboot the server to see if things come back to normal...
