Building Elastix MT via RPM Repo

norojoshi

mount -o loop /tmp/elastixmt.iso /mnt/elastixmt

Thank you for your prompt reply i am not being able to mount the ISO getting error
[root@77167 tmp]# mount -o loop /tmp/elastixmt.iso /mnt/elastixmt
mount: Could not find any loop device. Maybe this kernel does not know
about the loop device? (If so, recompile or `modprobe loop'.)

scottalanmiller

@norojoshi Ah, okay. So that should be fixable. Sounds like the loopback mount is missing. Could be a bad kernel. What VPS host are you on? What kernel are you running?

Thanks once again for your prompt reply, I am not a Linux expert but the details are as below

The VPS is Datsoft Networks then? Their phone number is from St. Louis. Interesting that I have never heard of them.

norojoshi

Yes from datasoft

I have used them for more than 3 years and provide very cheap VPSs

Looks like Datasoft is using ProxMox. So not VMs, but Containers for Linux. So the kernel is coming from the VM underneath. This isn't "exactly" a VPS, it's actually a VPC. Normally not an issue but I assume that there is no control over the kernel here and they must have compiled one that lacks the necessary drivers.

Yeah, doing Containers would let them have even higher than normal Linux server density as they are running only a single kernel amongst all of the customers on a single piece of hardware. It's very efficient, but you are a little more like Docker than like a VM.

I realize that local means nothing with hosting, but most companies try to market to the gullible SMB locally too. Just surprised I had not heard of them.

scottalanmiller

When you boot up your VM, does the system give you any option to pick another kernel?

norojoshi

@scottalanmiller
No I do not get that option, I guess I will need to upgrade to a VPS..will check with the provider

@scottalanmiller
a quick question do you think Elastix MT could be used to provide CloudPBX

That is the entire point of multi-tenant solutions.

Yes, that is there intention with the platform. There are other use cases, but they are niche. A central, hosted PBX platform is the core purpose.

Hello Scott,
Your guide was easy and fast, thanks tor that! But unfortunately i was having an error in the last part of the installation... Im not sure if this is because the CentOS available on the VPS its 6.5...and you recommend just 6...
The error is the next:

unixODBC.x86_64 0:2.2.14-14.el6
urw-fonts.noarch 0:2.4-10.el6
vsftpd.x86_64 0:2.2.2-14.el6
wanpipe-util.x86_64 0:7.0.10-2
wavpack.x86_64 0:4.60-1.1.el6
xinetd.x86_64 2:2.3.14-39.el6_4
xorg-x11-font-utils.x86_64 1:7.2-11.el6

Failed:
elastix-framework.noarch 0:3.0.0-11

Complete!

And then in the web console, the system ask me about the SQL Password, I configured that and then ask me about the root login over CentOS... until there nothing so abnormal.. but nothing more happened...

I really appreciate your help... i can not find a lot of information about this Elastix MT version.

@rialejo Welcome to MangoLassi!

scottalanmiller

I will have to loop around and do a fresh install again on a new VM. It's coming up on midnight here but I might be able to delve into this tomorrow.

rialejo

@scottalanmiller Sure, don't worry and thanks for your help!

norojoshi

@scottalanmiller hi finally got the VPS configured with MT, has to pay the provider to set it up. Is there any special method from previous Elastix for setting up trunks. I am not being able to view when i run comand Sip show peers... thanking you in advane

They probably just popped in the ISO image and did a full install. What VPS are you working with?

I don't believe that the method has changed. You have trunks that were working previously with Elastix 2.x?
