FOP-.30 vs. FOP2 anyone got them working yet?

[TomS]

I was looking at the FOP .30 release.
The instructions are still not there.

Has anyone created a GOOD How-To for either the FOP .30 or FOP2 for PiaF with Asterisk 1.6.2.6 from the latest CD?

This seems to be the last feature to complete for a system I am installing.

I had to go with Asterisk 1.6.x per Digium to support the AEX800 card.

Thanks

I wrote an install instructions for FOP2 beta which is basically the latest version of FOP2. Originally, I was going to upgrade to FOP 0.30 but it takes more work than upgrading to FOP2. FOP 0.30 split the install into client and server directories and is quite a mess. FOP2 works much better and allows more flexibility for the users and groups.

I followed http://www.fop2.com/documentation-installation-4.php and got fop2 working with little dramatics. I had a question and found one of the developers answering IM support right on the site! He was helpful and friendly and got me going in the right direction.

Make sure you add the FreePBX modules for fop2admin, they will add the capabilities for restricting rights to users and/or groups plus configuring custom buttons.

I got the FOP .30 working for DUHDI AEX800

I have a 4 port Digium AEX800 card with 4 ports setup for trunks over POTS lines to an Avaya PBX.
I am running Asterisk 1.6 PiaF on a Dell 1850 with the Digium AEX800 card install. The 1850 has been changed to support PCIe.

I was trying to get the original FOP to work. Then I tried to get FOP2 to work. Then I gave FOP a try again.
I found that I had not killed the FOP2 program so it was interferring with the FOP reboot.

I am listing the /var/www/html/panel/op_buttons_additional.cfg file in case anyone else might be interested:
