Topic: [Anounce] smeserver-trixbox-fws-beta2

[Daniel B.]

Well, the biggest difference is in the configuration interface. With Sail, the configuration is done through pages in the server-manager whereas in trixbox, there's a php front end (called freepbx). I've also integrate it in the server-manager. Another difference is that trixbox comes with many others applications like meetme (Web GUI for managing conferences), maint (phpMyadmin, phpConfigEdit, EndPoints manager etc...), xpl, a2billing, sugarCRM (or vtiger CRM) etc....
With smeserver-trixbox, you can choose or not to install all the others stuff

smeserver-trixbox-1.2.3-beta1.tar.gz works very well for me apart from the problems already mentionned in the PDF. Thanks !

May I ask what are your plans regarding the new trixbox-2.0.0 ? Do you plan to release a package for sme server as well ?

To avoid creating a new script each time trixbox release a new version, do you think it would be feasable to use the original package and provide fixes for sme server and security during pre/post-installation ?

Thanks again for your work on that !

[Daniel B.]

I'll download trixbox 2 beta this afternoon. I think I will upgrade my archive to trixbox 2 when it will be stable (in a month according to trixbox.org). I'll try to make an upgrade script but I'm not sure.

Using the original package with just some fixes isn't feasable because the privided script just breaks the server (changing mysql root password, giving permissions to all databases etc...). I hope I'll be able to tweak my install script to make it working with trixbox 2 wihtout having to rewrite it again from scratch.

Thanks for your interest and please, repport any problem.

[Daniel B.]

In fact trixbox 2 beta is only available as iso and not tar.gz. I hope they will release the archive when it'll be stable. In wait, I continue the developpement on 1.2.3

[floco]

The trixbox.tar.gz is available in the ISO file for 2.0

[Daniel B.]

I've downloaded the ISO and you're right, the archive is there but I think I won't upgrade to 2.0 because there nothing realy interesting. All the rpms are the same,  there's just some new php pages (mainly a sort of yum front-end) and I think it's not usefull.

[floco]

I thought the 2.0 brought much more added value compared to 1.2.3 but you are right, after playing with both, it seems to provide only this new admin frontend and package management (and this one is quite buggy for the moment ).

I will post some comments as soon as I finish testing your beta version.

Thanks again for bringing trixbox to SME.

Version 2 brings a GUI with a top frame acting as a main menu. it's not very userfull once you've got used to it.

But ! V2 has an updating feature that allows you to select which package-s you want to update. This is cool for people wanting to test, try and tune...

In my experience, upgrading asterisk should be done carefully making sure the required kernel is the same as the one on your box. So this updating feature might not be that usefull after all, although it is very nice.

I'm using V2 but sticking with V1 is quite okay.

I'm also using (prod) FreePBX 2.2.0beta2 which is really something else. That's more impressive than Trixbox V2. Updating is easier.

[Daniel B.]

I'm about to release smeserver-trixbox-1.2.3_beta2 which will fix a lot of little problems from beta1, I'll have a look at freepbx 2.2 beta3 and see if I can integrate it

Merci pour cet excellent travail!

There is a problem with a2billing installation. Might be caused by mysql5.

-------------------------------------------
Installing a2billing

ERROR 1067 (42000) at line 6: Invalid default value for 'creationdate'

The line
creationdate TIMESTAMP DEFAULT 'now()' NOT NULL
is rejected. When removing <'>, it produces this:

Oh, maybe the problem is comming from mysql5, I haven't tested. I'll try to do some more tests. In fact, I haven't tested to much a2billing because I don't use it but I loged in as admin, create a user, and it was working.

[soprom]

I imported the database from a previously installed Trixbox and then i worked. Suspecting mysql5 to be the problem in the install script.

I get some errors when I try to update modules from FreePBX with the link "Check for updates online"...

Dec 23 14:55:44 roamer httpd: PHP Warning:  file_get_contents(): URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /opt/asterisk/html/admin/functions.inc.php on line 1099

Is this "URL file-access is disabled " by design?

[Daniel B.]

No, i'll try to investigate this further next week, I didn't test to update the modules.

[soprom]

It would be nice to be able to use the script to update FreePBX indepently.

The usual procedure is:

Code: [Select]


cd /usr/src/
wget http://mirror.freepbx.org/freepbx-2.2.0rc3.tar.gz
tar zxvf freepbx-2.2.0rc3.tar.gz
cd freepbx-2.2.0rc3
./install_amp


Would it be usable as is?

Merci!
