Warvox stops working on Kali due to Ruby issues

[nipundev]

Hi @hdm

At this point I have tried various flavors of kali, it's updates, gems, rubies, etc, but I am unable to get Warvox working. Some update in Kali broke it. Can you please help ?

Switch to RVM for Ruby, make sure you are using git master, and keep in mind that WarVOX is obsolete at the moment due to the unsupported Rails version.

[nipundev]

Thanks ! I am definitely using master branch, but I still think it is WarVOX dev.

The 2.0.0 branch never got a stable release, since keeping up with Rails took more time than it made sense to spend on WarVOX (used just enough to drive an email once a month).

[nipundev]

That sucks, I thought it was a slick tool as described by my buddy last year. Any alternate tools you suggest to use for mass dialing ? I have an IAX2 server and everything set-up. Thanks a lot for rapid replies :).

https://wardial.us/software/ lists some options. WarVOX will likely work for you with a bit more pipe banging (rvm ruby, make verify, etc), but it isn't safe to put on a public interface at the moment.

Hey HD, One last question since I am out of ideas, what is a stable build for WarVOX ? And OS ? I can contribute my results here with detailed installation instructions. Thanks, Nipun

Ubuntu 14.04 / 16.04 with the master branch from Git and a recent Ruby version using RVM
