Topic: FreePBX install on SME 8

[axessit]

I'm wanting to install FreePBX using Asterisk 1.8 as a project to try out using PABX. I have previous SME experience, but am am failing to get the right proceedure here for this install. The wiki gives info on installing on a 7.X, so I went into the Asterisks Wiki to get some info, but it gives a link for SME 8 users that is broken. So I go to the SailPBX website and read up. It mentions installing Asterisk 1.8.3 on SME8b6 and gives links to download an iso. But the Iso doesn't show a 1.8 version.

Anyway, I already have SME8b6 install CD, so I have set up my box with this to make sure my host OS will be setup and configured how I want it. All good so far. But I need to create a yum repo for the Asterisk WITHOUT Sail as I want to use FreePBX. I've searched the FreePBX, and found this topic http://www.freepbx.org/forum/freepbx/installation/asterisk-1-8-installation and they have a forum for SME users - basically this one.

In short - do I need to install the developer platform on SME to download the Asterisk and make the installation from source, or can I use a repo somewhere with the necessary files already there ?

Trucked on over to wiki.asterisk.org and worked out my answer. For anyone watching:

Code: [Select]

db yum_repositories set asterisk-current repository \
 BaseURL http://packages.asterisk.org/centos/5/current/i386/ \
 EnableGroups yes \
 GPGCheck no \
 Name 'CentOS-$releasever - Asterisk - Current' \
 Visible yes \
 status disabled

db yum_repositories set digium-current repository \
 BaseURL http://packages.digium.com/centos/5/current/i386/ \
 EnableGroups yes \
 GPGCheck no \
 Name 'CentOS-$releasever - Digium - Current' \
 Visible yes \
 status disabled

signal-event yum-modify
and I'm on my way.

Code: [Select]

yum install asterisk18 asterisk18-configs --enablerepo=asterisk-current --skip-broken
The skip-broken switch as I don't have any hardware installed.

Post-upgrade/reboot and I'm on my way.....
