thetoaster,
unfortunately, I lack bandwidth to work on this at this point. I hope to dedicate a resource on this pretty soon.
Thanks
Gourav
wrcgator, sure, I plan to create gui to configure skype and google voice, however lack the bandwidth right now.
Anandan,
Could you try to import it again and try to run the skype installer?
Also, it would help if you could provide more information on the error if you access to command line, and logs.
i cant install skype! it shows the following error..
500 Internal Server Error
Cherokee web server 1.0.8 (openSUSE Build Service), Port 80
Anand
would love to see the google voice and skype setup in the gui. Also, the conference module does not seem to work or configure properly beyond basic conference. password and sound file paths are not correct.
Hello gourav again
Just wanted to know, if there is any progress. I know I cannot enforce it, but maybe you can make a statement if there will be an update and more or less by when. I would really like to use this appliance, without an update, sooner than later I would need to build one by myself… thx for your reply
I will watch out, thanks a lot in advance for your work!
thetoaster,
I am in process of building a new version of this appliance. Will update in a few days. There are a few bugs with the GUI integrating with the backend engine, which are to be fixed. Also, I am trying to give a better UI experience with custom configuration wizards for Google Voice and Skype Setup and make it real simple for users to get it running and setup. So watch out for the new version in a few days time.
Thanks
Gourav
Hi Gourav
did you already update it? Where can it be found?
would really appreciate a new version!
Brad,
This is a older version of blue.box when xmpp/gtalk module to the web GUI was not been developed. I am going to update freeSWITCHBOX appliance with the latest freeswitch and blue.box code.
Thanks
Gourav

grazman, this is a known issue and there is a ticket filed for it already at http://tickets.2600hz.org/browse/BLUEBOX-54
Started playing with 2.0.2 but get:
Fatal error: Class ‘sipdevices’ not found in /srv/www/htdocs/bluebox/modules/polycomdriver-1.0/plugins/polycom.php on line 102
that’s cool, I was looking for such an appliance!
