Topic: Asterisk on SME7 (me again)

[arne]

About the Clarkconnect.. I have only tested on the free dowloadable home edition. Of course no one got the right to complanin about something that is free. Also actually, I think that the developers of the CC has done realy a great job trough the last revisions. It's only a mather of "taste". For me the CC apear to be something a little bit "Microsoft alike" (But it might not be fair to say that at all, and it might not be right.)

When I think it over. You are right that there is some Contribs that put the web things on some unstandard places. (I don't now at all how to handle this at the moment, but it might not be to difficult ?)

But then it might not be to difficult at all to install the newest A@H to the SME server ?? (For the CC Home 3.2 it went just right in. No problems at all.)

By the way, I'm testing one other asterisk variant now, astlinux. It can run from a 32 MB Flash memory. Really a impressive piece of software. It might not be obvious that the ip telephony and the web server should be on the same box. Don't know. http://www.astlinux.org/ (But astlinux requires manual configuration of the asterisk server.)

Hi Everyone..

Is there any chance some lovely person could summarise all this good information into the pre-prepared WIKI for asterisk here: http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/Asterisk%20on%20SME%20Server

I'd love to install asterisk, but i just don't have the time to wade through 8 Pages of forum!  

Failing this, is there a Howto somewhere, or would anyone be willing to provide help and I will be happy to produce a howto for everyone else?

[raymondw]

oké, after watching this forum for some time this will be my first post

After a night with   i was ready to do some brainless a@s troubleshooting.
Starting with the script install and looking at the logs i've created a working install script.
After all very simple...  

What I did:
============================
enable the standard centos yum repository
- vi /etc/yum.conf
Change
- [base]
- enabled=0 to 1
run script
============================

After adding the standard yum rep the install finished WITHOUT a error.

Have fun and hope this helps others  

/edit 1
Used PRE1 in a VM, which I upgraded to PRE2 after the install

/edit 2
To be sure I did a fresh install of Pre2 and it gave a couple of errors.
Looks like a yum problem, will test a couple of things.... again....  

[raymondw]

After a couple of test installs and a cups of coffee : tada.wav
It works  

You can save the code parts to the A7SME7 dir and run the install.sh
No need to change other files!

Wery nice and very cool  

I think I will try it as soon as I have some time.

I try to read the script, and I think I understand a little of it, but absolutely not everything.

One or two things I am vondering about ..

1. There will not be any permanent change in the sme yum repositories, so the update of the sme server will work like normal after the installation of the AAH ?! Right !?

2. Where does the script actually download the asterisk server iself from (which line in the script) ? It is a download of sorce code packages that will be compiled during the installation or what ? I also wonder which revision of the asterisk server it will install (I try to read the script, but I don't undersand it on that point.)

3. I have installed Asteris@Home at a Clarkconnect server. On this one I had to download diverse aditional software before I was able to compile the asterisk source code. It this installation according to the script based on precompiled rpms or what ? (And then which AAH revision ??)

I will try to find time to do a test installation myself, but until then I would be very interested in any information (to make things more easy to unserstand.)  

[arne]

Qustion 3 were if it is based on rpms or source codes and eventuelally which revision og the rpms (and then one hidden question: how to upgrade later on.)

[raymondw]

All,
It is the script from cyr tweaked to install on SME7 PreX

1. True, after the install every yum change will be undone.

2. The RPM is comming from the *ate* repository.

3. The RPM is created from CVS 08-08-2005, more info can be found *here*

Asterisk "show version" gives the following output
Asterisk CVS-HEAD built by patrick@pbx.puzzled.xs4all.nl on a i686 running Linux on 2005-08-08

Future upgrade's is something i'm asking myself also...
I think well see what happens when SME7 goes Gold...

[arne]

Thanks for great work. I had some thought about trying to something like that but I did not have the guts even to try ..

One other and different way for a future solution might be to modfy the original installation script from the asterisk@home download (the tar.gz file) so it will fit with the script above and the sme server.

Just an idea .. If such a mod vere possible (and to install via source code), then the asterisk@sme installation could easily follow the revisions of the asterisk@home project, .. just an idea.

(Such an installation (asterisk@home from new sourccode) works by default on a Clarkconnect server (after installing some aditional software to make it possible to compile the asterisk software), and I believe that with some of the adjustments contained in your script above, it could also work on a sme server.)

Once more thanks for the mod, so it is now possible to make a reasonable updated asterisk installation on the sme server  

[raymondw]

Just an idea .. If such a mod vere possible (and to install via source code), then the asterisk@sme installation could easily follow the revisions of the asterisk@home project, .. just an idea.

That is not a big problem, the install scripts are adepted easily.
The thing is that I would like to keep my install as clean as possible.
If I compile it from source I need a lot more files, don't think that will be a good idea...

A other option is using a other RPM. I've allready tried a few, without any luck.

[organetic]

Hi raymondw!

You've done a nice job on the script.
I'm just trying to use it but it seems that some files are missing at the repository you indicated.
This is not a big deal, since I've found most part of missing files on other repositories. The ones i can't find, are the specific SME configuration files for AMP:

permissions_amp.sql
amp
98amp

Could you please post a place were we can get them or send me an email?

Regards,
Organetic

[raymondw]

Organetic,
Did you only use my script or did you also downloaded the original file?
My script only a installer working on 7 PreX installations.

The original file can be found here : *LINK*
And is created by cyr

Replace the files in the script with my files.  

[organetic]

Hi raymondw,

I don't understand what you mean with "PreX". Do you refer to a tweaked version of SME7 with X installed or just any Pre-Release version?

Regarding your script, I've just downloaded the file stated on cyr website.
Now, I just don't know wich path should I take. Should I follow cyr instructions or use the files together with your script? Is there any difference at all?

Oh, about the repository you use on your script. Some files simply aren't there no more. I managed to find most of them, but not these ones :

permissions_amp.sql
amp
98amp

Regards,

org

[raymondw]

Organetic,
Here is a short howto

- Install SME7 Pre-release 1,2 or 3
- unpack A4SME7 tar from Cyr
- Replace the install.sh and install_parts.sh with my files
- start the Asterisk install by running "sh install.sh"

I tried it here and there is no file missing

There are missing pieces, and maybe your system is configured to check other yum repositories that have these files.

[raymondw]

:hammer:   :roll:
I've seen the errors....

Looks like a DNS problem, think my SME has a cached DNS resolver.

I'm working on a "local" mirror...

edit
Oke, it was a long day for me...
Made a couple of mistakes and not happy anymore....

I'm going to bed and look at the script over the weekend.
Was thinking about upgrading the script to Asterisk 1.2.4 mayby a good time to begin with that.  :roll:
