I'm trying to use the FollowMe app with Asterisk 1.4.17. I've followed
the WIKI page on setting it up but I can't seem to get it to work.

Here is my Asterisk version:
pbx1*CLI> core show version
Asterisk 1.4.17 built by root @ pbx1 on a i686 running Linux on
2008-01-10
12:08:48 UTC

Here is a log of when the FollowMe is being called:

NOTE: I've tried to use the AstDB as the WIKI described but when I
looked at the code it didn't seem like that would work so I've hard
coded a phone # for now. But I would prefer to use the AstDB if that
is a workable solution.

-- Executing [s at stationcall_group_action:8] FollowMe("Zap/

(NOTE: This log was taken just prior to making the changes indicated
below in my Followme.conf file. But the changes reported the same logs
lines, simply with different values (i.e. same errors).

A section of my followme.conf file:

[2000]
context => pstn_inbound
number => 201XXXXXXX,5
number => FM1/2000,10
number => FM2/2000,20
number => FM3/2000,30

Here is the relevant section of the macro that calls the FollowMe app:

exten => s,7,GotoIf("${DIALSTATUS}" = "NOANSWER"?:8:14)
exten => s,8,FollowMe(${STATION_EXTENSION},a)

I've tried different context in my FollowMe configuration file but it
doesn't seem to change anything. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

BJ,

Yeah, that's what I figured from the code. But I still can't get my
hard coded #'s to work.

The line:

number => 201XXXXXXX,5

(201XXXXXXX is a US based phone # I want dialed that I've obscured
with X's - in case that wasn't originally clear)

This line reacts the same way as the AstDB configured lines.

Thanks,

Mike
