Aterisk @ Home Voicemail

I seem to have broken my asterisk voicemail!

It does not record anything, it usually it records in three formats i think?

When watching in my CLI it only tries wav49, but then fails.

So it askes you to leave message, then dont let it record, it just asks
if it should be saved reviewed etc.

So somehow i've broke whatever it does when recording.. Any ideas?

Restore from backup?

What have you been fiddling with?

Is this the same with every extension that has vm configured?

Just as a test, edit extensions_custom.conf and make a test extension &
then reload and dial the test 555.

exten => 555,1,Voicemail(u204) (where 204 is an existing mailbox)

I coiped who system to a new hard disk.. And added extensions and
things.. And things went kinda wrong! Now voicemail has really gone

All extensions, yes, and also when you try and record your greetings!

I've found that using the built in back up and restore thing in asterisk
@ home can cause the problem with voicemail!

So, i'm copying over from old hard disk again!

Very annoying!

I'd check the permissions on the voicemail directory very carefully.
