I have an IVR that calls a ring group after it rings it goes to Parking.
timeout destination has another IVR that gives the caller the option to
0 - continue to hold
5 - End call
9 - Leave a message
The issue is that the Parking times out in 20 seconds and does not go to timeout destination no matter what the choice is in it.
Which version of VitalPBX are you using?
Is this a multi tenant system?
Assuming it’s a non multi-tenant system, please provide a screenshot of your parking settings as well as the output of the following commands (please post the output in preformatted text)
asterisk -x"parking show"
cat /etc/asterisk/vitalpbx/res_parking__50-1-extensions.conf

Below : Vitalpbx settings GUI
The GUI and Asterisk config are matching. What happens when your increase the parking tine in the GUI?
You mentioned that it never reaches the timeout. Sorry I missed that… What happens to the call?
Can you post a call trace via pastebin?
We will check this with the team. It seems that the parameter “comebacktoorigin” is not generated.
Hello Gentlemen,
Joe is correct with the parameter "comebacktoorigin issue… I added the the parameter with the value “no” to the
cat /etc/asterisk/vitalpbx/res_parking__50-1-extensions.conf
and it works correctly now.
Thank you.
I have to add that if you make changes to parking and re-save, the parameter, it disappears and you have to add it back manually again. So the team should look into this for the next update
For now until fixed:
Copy everything into /etc/asterisk/vitalpbx/res_parking__49-1-extensions.conf
Watch permissions.
Make your changes.
Reload dialplan.
Done. Will stay there.
I’m experiencing a similar issue where calls are ringing back to the originator, but then failing to hit the timeout destination after the comeback dial time. Is there a timeline on the fix for this? Or perhaps some comprehensive steps to repair the issue in the meantime? The above resolution did not correct the issue for me.
Put parameter
comebacktoorigin=no
at the end of the file mentioned originally and save it and reboot. It worked for me.
@TCE Paul, I think you have a different issue. From what I understand you are trying to catch the call in an event where the park originator failed to answer. Is that correct?
No reboot is necessary here. Do a asterisk -x"core reload" and you are good to go.
We will release an update this week that solves a couple of issues related to the parking module. Please stay tuned!!
Can you test the latest update?
I will test it out soon
