So far every thing is seeming to run great, I will give you heads up if I run into any issues when I really put demand on the servers.I will try the button thing though later on in the week, I am programming on some other projects so I will post out to let you no. Thanks again for your help buddy...

Is there a way to align the buttons in a certain order?

Hello Nicolas,

I just want to say thanks for your help. When you told me that my remote server was rejecting the connection. I start to think on the lines of a firewall. So I then checked my IP Tables on my Cent Box, and sure enough port 5038 was not listed as an exception in firewall tables. Once I added the exception in the IP Tables to allow port 5038 to pass traffic on everything seem to work just. If anyone has this issue with FOP2 connecting to a remote server, make sure that Linux firewall is allowing port 5038 to pass traffic other wise you will get an manger error message :

[error message]

• * MANAGER CONNECTION Connecting to X.X.X.X:5038 (Server 1)
• * MANAGER CONNECTION Couldn't connect to X.X.X.X:5038 (Server 1)

Thanks Nicolas, you did a really nice job on the interface, we really in joy F0P2 a lot better than F0P1.

OK I have two servers, Server 1 is my FreePBX system that holds FOP2, server two is my dialer that I am wanting FOP2 to monitor. I can monitor everything on server 1 with FOP2, when I follow the instructions for the tutorial on monitoring multiple asterisk servers. I can not seem to get the server to connect to my Vicidial Server. Vicidial is using Asterisk 1.2.30.2, and my FreePBX is using Asterisk 1.4.33.1. All I am trying to due is simply monitor the asterisk that is running Vicidial. I have manually created the buttons like suggested with the remote extentions, configured the fop2.conf file, and the remote asterisk manager.conf. and I get an error when I run ./fop2_server -X 3 stating:

can someone tell me if there is something that I am doing wrong? I have tried everything I no, and nothing is working. My remote extensions show up as green buttons on the FOP2 screen when I log in. but nothing is happening when the extension is being used. Yes I did buy the $40.00 Key to activate my program. Thanks if someone could help me.
