Debian 8 Jessie
About
We no longer support Debian 8 "Jessie" packages for FreeSWITCH™ .
Debian 8 "Jessie" was the reference platform for FreeSWITCH™ as of version 1.6.
Debian 9 "Stretch" was suitable for the FreeSWITCH™ 1.8 release.
Debian 10 "Buster" is now recommended for the FreeSWITCH™ 1.10 release.

2016.02.14 — Please note this important change that went into Master today. As of today, we are no longer using system versions of libyuv and libvpx due to major conflicts with system versions of these libraries. These are now built static into the freeswitch core. Also note, mod_vpx no longer exists, it is automatically loaded as part of the core and you will no longer have mod_vpx.so nor have to load it manually. I'll have more details coming, but let me know if you have any questions.
Please note for anyone doing cross compiling, this probably means a bit more work for you, I'll be working on fixing that this week.

| So I installed verto with no errors, and it's running on my secure site. Can anyone please tell me how to get a secure web socket (wss) connection? Netstat shows my server is listening on wss port 8082 but connection is rfefused both firefox & chrome, and I did restart fs many times, nginx too.The port is open in my firewall so i am stuck on what to try next.http://prntscr.com/ev5ywx http://prntscr.com/ev5zdi http://prntscr.com/ev60h9Going to research on using SIP TLS and not use wss to see if I can connect Posted by simbahmso at Apr 11, 2017 11:36 |
| Looks like you are trying to connect Verto Communicator to mod_sofia's WSS.... you need to setup mod_verto.... Posted by silik0n at Jun 01, 2017 12:46 |
