can you please check your /etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf file ? or may be take backup and let freepbx to generate fresh one? looks like something is not right in /etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf which parser is not liking @kennesaw10

[kennesaw10]

This was a fresh install from scratch to which I did not restore from a backup. I ran a backup as you suggested with no change. This seems to be something that has changed in Asterisk 21.4. The module install failed during the initial install and errors out with a manual install of the module from the CLI. I will attach the voicemail.conf file generated by the install.

voicemail.conf.txt

[kennesaw10]

I FOUND IT. The Asterisk 21.4 install is putting a colon instead of a semi-colon in the voicemail.conf file. I changed it to a semi-colon and the module will load. Sangoma needs to fix Asterisk 21.4 to generate an error-free Voicemail.conf file.

You are using the FreePBX install script for all of this right? This isn't from the IPBX setup you did, correct? Because this is actually an Asterisk issue because the sample file has the bad formatting and the only way you got that is from issuing a "make samples" which you wouldn't do if you ran the official install script.

I already opened a ticket in the Asterisk issue tracker for this: https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk/issues/819

[blazestudios97]

There is a PR pending in Asterisk that fixes this typo issue. Waiting for it to be merged.

Thanks @blazestudios97 for chiming in for this issue.
