Topic: Best Fresh Stable Install?

[apmuthu]

Looks like all the rpms are haywire for a fresh install.

What is the best way to install a fresh stable SARK_2.3.2-19 on a stable SME-7.4?

Did the following with reboots between each step:
Installed SME 7.4 on a new machine.
Included the ATrpms repo from the SME Wiki.
Hit the restorecon SME 7.4 Bug:

Code: [Select]

  Updating  : kudzu                        ##################### [120/379]
  Updating  : samba-common                                       [121/379]

  Updating  : qmail                        ##################### [122/379]
Addressed it by checking and installing:

yum install policycoreutils

# uname -r
2.6.9-89.0.16.EL

# rpm -qf /sbin/restorecon
policycoreutils-1.18.1-4.13

# rpm -q samba
samba-3.0.33-0.18.el4_8.1

Followed instructions at the SARK-SAIL Wiki choosing the ATrpms repo for the DAHDI rpms (as they were absent in the smecontribs) :

Code: [Select]

yum install dahdi-linux-kmdl-`uname -r` --enablerepo=atrpms
yum install dahdi-tools --enablerepo=atrpms
yum install asterisk --enablerepo=smecontribs

Hit a wall with the last yum command:

# yum install asterisk --enablerepo=smecontribs

Looks like the SARK wiki at http://sarkpbx.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/DocChapter03c should be updated for the install instructions:

yum install policycoreutils
yum install mysql-devel
yum -y update
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

yum install dahdi-linux-kmdl-`uname -r` --enablerepo=atrpms
yum install dahdi-tools --enablerepo=atrpms
# Installed Packages
# dahdi-linux.i386                                  2.2.0.2-65.el4
# dahdi-linux-kmdl-2.6.9-89.0.16.EL.i686   2.2.0.2-65.el4
# dahdi-tools.i386                                 1:2.2.0-63.el4

yum install libpri  --enablerepo=atrpms
# Installed: libpri.i386 1:1.4.10.2-25.el4

yum install asterisk14 --enablerepo=atrpms
# Installed: asterisk14.i386 1:1.4.26.3-87.el4

yum install asterisk-addons14  --enablerepo=atrpms
# Installed: asterisk-addons14.i386 1:1.4.9-24.el4

The mysql-devel needs to be installed at the beginning as otherwise we will get the following errors in the asterisk/messages log:

Code: [Select]

ERROR[6472] res_config_mysql.c: MySQL RealTime: Failed to connect database server  on  (err 2002). Check debug for more info.
WARNING[6472] res_config_mysql.c: MySQL RealTime: Couldn't establish connection. Check debug.
NOTICE[6472] config.c: Registered Config Engine mysql
And this works so far....

The next steps for SAIL integration:

Code: [Select]

cd /usr/src
Download sox-12.17.7-3.i386.rpm from one of the links at

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/11416247/com/sox-12.17.7-3.i386.rpm.html

and upload to the /usr/src folder and execute:

Code: [Select]

rpm -ivh sox-12.17.7-3.i386.rpm
Download sox-devel-12.17.7-3.i386.rpm from one of the links at

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=26&dist=44&size=172747&name=sox-devel-12.17.7-3.i386.rpm

and upload to the /usr/src folder and execute:

Code: [Select]

rpm -ivh sox-devel-12.17.7-3.i386.rpm
Install SAIL dependancy (wiki states -Uvh to use same script for upgrades as well):

wget http://sarkpbx.com/sail/sail-2.3.2/perl-File-ReadBackwards-1.04-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh perl-File-ReadBackwards-1.04-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm

Now install SAIL (TFTP Sever gets installed with it):

wget http://sarkpbx.com/sail/sail-2.3.2/sail-2.3.2-19.noarch.rpm
yum localinstall -y --enablerepo=base sail-2.3.2-19.noarch.rpm
# Installed: sail.noarch 0:2.3.2-19

Final Step:

Code: [Select]

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

Notes on the above install:

Generally we can find the CentOS Release version from

Code: [Select]

cat /etc/issue
In a OpenVZ KVM, /etc/issue is a 0 byte file and hence the command fails. We can use the following workaround:

Code: [Select]

rpm -qa | grep -i "centos-release"
This will currently show:

warning: only V3 signatures can be verified, skipping V4 signature
centos-release-4-8
warning: only V3 signatures can be verified, skipping V4 signature

Earlier versions of SARK had many files and folders chown-ed by asterisk:asterisk - notably /etc/asterisk/*. In this version, in the initial install, the number of such entities has been limited to:

# find / -user asterisk
/var/log/asterisk
/var/log/asterisk/cdr-custom
/var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv
/var/spool/asterisk
/var/spool/asterisk/system
/var/spool/asterisk/dictate
/var/spool/asterisk/tmp
/var/spool/asterisk/meetme
/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail
/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default
/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/1234
/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/1234/INBOX
/var/spool/asterisk/sms
/var/spool/asterisk/sms/mtrx
/var/spool/asterisk/sms/motx
/var/spool/asterisk/monitor
/var/run/asterisk
find: /proc/6646/task/6646/fd/4: No such file or directory
find: /proc/6646/fd/4: No such file or directory

VoiceMail notes on above install:
There are 2 monitor folders:

• /home/selintra/var/spool/asterisk/monitor assigned to root user
• /var/spool/asterisk/monitor assigned to asterisk user

It is the latter that we need to assign in the

SME Manager -> Global Settings -> GENERAL SETTINGS -> Path to recording directory

The default LOGGING -> VLIB folders will be:

Code: [Select]

/var/log /var/lib/mysql /var/lib/dhcp /var/lock /var/qmail /var/spool /var/tmp /tmp /tftpboot

[apmuthu]

And the final SME Manager -> Global Settings page should look like:

This is good work

We will update the Wiki.  If you, or anyone else, wishes to help with docs then you can opbtain Wiki update privileges by sending an email to admin@aelintra.com

Kind Regards
