Topic: Asterisk on SME7 (me again)

[arne]

Cyr ->

The things I remember from the installation is that it was quite automated with quite a number of downloads, so it was only the end configuration left back for us "the users".

Could it be possible to let this materiall and possible some short technical descriptionto be available for download at some web site so we could look into it ?

It think it will be rather difficult for anybody to just take over such a difficult and compicated project, .. but possibly, if it is a question of making revisions and updates of things of things that have ben done before, it might be at least a lot more easy than to do it all from the scratch.

I would find it rather interesting to look into it, how it can work. I have no idea if I'm clever enough to look into some revision, but anyhow it would be interesting to take a look.

In some way, the integration of the sme server and the asterisk@home is a very logical step. A internet server used to be basically mail, web, mail and ftp, but at things are now developing it should be rather clear that ip telephony will be one of the basic internet services most companies (and homes) will use. So if the sme server should continue to be the "all inn one server" it will have to get ip telephony included.

Argument against is that hardware tends to get cheaper and that two different boxes will make installations and troubleshooting a bit more easy.

But still in the long run .. a intergration of the asterisk@home into the sme server is a very elegant solution.

So it would be a very nice thing if documentation and material from the first sme server and asterisk@home project could be left open for further use and further development.

Best reg Arne.

tried to install it on 7pre1 fresh install
creation of yum ate did not work had to change it manually

[madadam]

Has anyone had any luck using this script with a fresh v7 pre1 installation?

I get a heap of errors about directory creation, dependancies and Asterisk fails to start.

Cheers,

Adam

Can you share your Broadvoice configuration, I am having difficulty getting it to work.

[dennyhalim]

same thing here.

imho, some one need to update the installer script to support pre1

Has anyone had any luck using this script with a fresh v7 pre1 installation?

I get a heap of errors about directory creation, dependancies and Asterisk fails to start.

i'm thinking on cheating a little bit...

some said it's installed fine on sme7b9

so, i think... if i re-install the whole system with sme7b9,
then install asterisk@home,
then upgrade to sme7pre1.

can this works?
i want to take the risk. where can i get sme7b9??

Hi, i also installed sme7pre1 and like to have asterisk running on this server.
has anybody got this working.
Before i used asterisk@home. But to use a pc only as voip server is not a good solution for me.

Help!!!

Paul

[dennyhalim]

so i try...

fresh install sme7b8 and install a@h

same thing. same error.
asterisk is not even installed...

anything news on asterisk? anyone take over & fix the code yet?

It would be smart to wait till the final release before modifying to fit a particular beta, since we know from this thread that the code breaks in between releases.

[arne]

Possible we could do it in a just a little bit other way:

1. First install the sme server the ordinary way.
2. Then install the orginal Asterisk@home server on top on the sme server.
3. Modifying the sme server so they work ok together.

(Possibly it will be an idea to change step 2 and 3, don't know yet.)

Have done the Asterisk@home installation on a number of Linux distros and could try to give some ifo if anybody wold like to start up with the hard work. (I have already 3 different asterisk@home servers running just now, and I dont want to pull any of them down yet.) (By the way, the hard work on the sme server is not so hard as quite much of the installation is automated.)

[girkers]

I am looking at installing Astericks on my SME7Pre1 server, was just waiting for confirmation that it worked first.  As this is my home server I am willing to give it a try.

Email me if you like.

[Franco]

I have it working on 7pre1, it won't work by running the script, but it will the manual way.
Like I said before, I think it would be good to wait for a final distro, then recreate the script fixing the broken pieces.

[arne]

Is it possible to say a few words about how you did it ?

I have testinstalled it on a number of distros including Clarkconnect and it went stright in without a problem. (But I am not a to big fan of ClarkConnect.)

Afeter all there is not that big difference between a "manual" installation and a "automaded installation via script". The downloadable AAH for "manual installation" is also based on a script.

What I can see is likely to be a problem is that the AAH installation script will install the htpl pages inside the var directory and not in the "primary ibay" or some other good places for the sme server.

It would be intersting to know a few words about how to handle this.

By the way, I have red a number of "warnings" about installing the AAH server together with things like x-win and other server function, as it is clamed that the Asterisk server is a realtime application that easily can get "disturbed" by running other applications on the same server.

I guess that this is not a problem in the real life, if it is a question of a sme server running with just a small load ?

"will install the htpl pages "

Correct spelling is obviosly (?) not my strongest side. Hope you can bear over with us "non english" trying to type English.

What I tried to say is that I believe that the web pages for AMP and etc will come on a incorrect location for the sme server (??)

[Franco]

Afeter all there is not that big difference between a "manual" installation and a "automaded installation via script"

Yes, there's a difference there:
One does not work  

I have testinstalled it on a number of distros including Clarkconnect and it went stright in without a problem. (But I am not a to big fan of ClarkConnect.)

What's up with Clark? Do you use it? 5 or 6 users limit?

What I can see is likely to be a problem is that the AAH installation script will install the htpl pages inside the var directory and not in the "primary ibay" or some other good places for the sme server.

And so is a lot of the contributions we have, no problems there. In this case is actually a good thing, since the Primary Ibay is world readable.
