Platform:
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 9.10

Issue and reproduction steps:
1. Originate from the CLI works.

2. "manager show commands" in the CLI lists Originate as an available command via the CLI.

3. ListCommands when logged into AMI does not list Originate.

4. Originate via AMI fails with the response:

Action: Originate
Channel: SIP/4101
Application: MeetMe
Data: 1234

Response: Error
Message: Permission denied

Response: Error
Message: Invalid/unknown command: Originate. Use Action: ListCommands to show available commands.

It also fails if I try: Channel Originate:

Action: Channel Originate
Channel: SIP/4101
Application: MeetMe
Data: 1234

Response: Error
Message: Permission denied

Response: Error
Message: Invalid/unknown command: Channel Originate. Use Action: ListCommands to show available commands.

You have not enabled the "originate" write permission in manager.conf.

Although, I don't think it should be sending the invalid command response after sending the permission denied response.

I thought of that. I checked to make sure before I submitted the bug request. It was enabled. Here's manager.conf with the password changed to protect the innocent.

[general]
displaysystemname = yes
enabled = yes
;webenabled = yes
port = 5038

;httptimeout = 60
; a) httptimeout sets the Max-Age of the http cookie
; b) httptimeout is the amount of time the webserver waits
;    on a action=waitevent request (actually its httptimeout-10)
; c) httptimeout is also the amount of time the webserver keeps
;    a http session alive after completing a successful action

bindaddr = 0.0.0.0
;displayconnects = yes
;
; Add a Unix epoch timestamp to events (not action responses)
;
;timestampevents = yes

The last line in the file does not give permission to originate new calls.  You need to add originate to the list.  See the manager.conf.sample file for documentation.
