Topic: Asterisk@Home for SME Server

[pop]

Hello all,

I recently install on my test server SME7rc2.
Before that i used SME7 and Asterisk@home with A4SME7 from cyril at  http://sme.firewall-services.com .

Now my SME7rc2 is installed, i use the new version of A4SME7 (I'have done it myself) which is based on the Cyril's Asterisk but with the last version of Asterisk@home (2. and freePBX.

If someone is interested on it, i go to put in download this version.
In little time i advise you to download it.

Thanks,

Now it's good for download my version of Asterisk@Home for SME server. This integrates the last version of Asterisk and FreePBX to administrate the IP-PBX.

You can download it at:

http://sme.firewall-services.com

You choose Asterisk@Home in SME v7.x and you'll find an howto for the install.

Thanks, and report any problems

I installed asterisk with the contrib, it works perfect, but after a night asterisk is not working anymore. Also when i try to change some settings in asterisk@home, saving the changes takes an age.

after rebooting the sme server the whole systems works perfect.

Whats the problem.

[ryton]

hello I'm the new develloper of firewall-services and I try to integer A@H, but i'have some problems with zaptel module.
I compile it properly (I got all the command's) but when i try to do modprobe zaptel it doesn't work, it say to me that module zaptel not found!!!

I work on a SME RC3 realease and i try to solve this problem, if omeone have any idea?



PS:Now for the question on A4SME7 module write your question to me sylvain@firewall-services.com because guillaume ( pop )  have finished his training period and i take his place, and i'm sorry for my english wich is surrely an horror

Hello I found the solution of my problem on trixbox.org's forum, the version of zaptel (1.2.6) include in trixbox 1.0 and asterisk@home 2.8 is not compatible with the kernel version of SME7 RC2 and 3.
So we have to use the former zaptel version 1.2.5.
I prepare the RPM package and soon you could download it at this adress:

[/edit]
Before install it you have to check theses points:
[For the moment, we are obliged to do a minor modification in the kernel, due to a bug in file header, but our next version (rpm based  ?) will try to avoid that]
* Be sure you've install the dev-tools (script in order to do it is downloadable at this adress : http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/hmuhammad/install-devtools-7.0.sh
and after you have to modify kernel sources:edit /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-34.EL/include/linux/spinlock.h
and at line 407, you've this :
#define DEFINE_RWLOCK(x) rw_lock_t x = RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED
change it to:
#define DEFINE_RWLOCK(x) rwlock_t x = RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED

* Now you have to make the sources ,do :
cp /boot/config-2.6.9-34.EL /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-34.EL/.config
cd /usr/src//linux-2.6.9-34.EL/
make

* After this you have to create a symbolic link :
ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-34.EL/ /lib/modules/2.6.9-34.EL/build
It's very important if you don't do this, zaptel will not compile.

*install newt-devel :
yum -y install newt-devel
Or the executable zttool will not be compiled, it's not essential but very usefull.

And now follow the instruction on the How-to at this address:

I have been able to install Trixbox 1.1 on sme7 rc3;

1. I had to compile zaptel-1.2.6 and lipri-1.2.3 rpms using srpm from trixbox.

2. One problem I have run into. FLash Operator panel does not update the new extension in realtime. I have run amportal restart everytime I create  a new exenstion or zap channel to show on the panel..

3. I will post my WIP soon.

Thanks

I thought that the best way is to compile asterisk (and zaptel and what ever you need) to be sure to have compatibility with ever new version, and to use asterisk toolkit as you want.

[JonB]

Why not just use the combined zaptel/libpri rpm that has been compiled and built for SME7rc3 by Selintra.

http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver//contribs/selintra/RPMS/

Use the MPP version. It is compiled for both single and multi processors.

I have tested SAIL on my machine, and, personnaly i prefer a lot a@h 's interface of administration.you have more possibility, and on my machine with this contrib zaptel didn't work properly.

I prepare a RPM to install asterisk@home but just for single processor.

I tried to follow your instructions but the link to the file and how-to is broken.
Isn´t it possible to directly embed zaptel 1.2.5 in your ast@home contribution?

Regards and thanks for your support
