Building Elastix 4 via RPM Repo

scottalanmiller

The issue there is Azure and some other providers modifying CentOS and not using either CentOS itself (in the case of the first provider changing out the kernel itself!) and Azure modifying default behaviour. Likely you could work around this on Azure by enabling root.

I would recommend testing out Digital Ocean or Rackspace. I would avoid Azure for PBX usage. PBXs are very sensitive to latency and performance and Azure is not on par with Amazon, Rackspace, DO, etc.

On Azure have you tried running with "sudo" if you are not the root user? Or have you tried sudo -i su to get to root?

ailton.cardozo

@scottalanmiller I did with sudo.

scottalanmiller

@ailton-cardozo welcome to the community, by the way!

scottalanmiller

I have not used CentOS 7 on Azure, does sudo -i su not allow you to become root, even with it disabled?

ailton.cardozo

@scottalanmiller Thanks for listening.

No problem!

ailton.cardozo

@scottalanmiller Unfortunately not. But I will try on Amazon.

scottalanmiller

Wow, that's so weird. How does Azure modify CentOS to that degree, and why?

I suspect no issues on Amazon, they use Xen the same as Rackspace. Digital Ocean uses KVM.

@scottalanmiller Before starting the script I saw that it's possible to renable root user based in our discussion. Now i think It will work.

scottalanmiller

Oh good, that makes more sense that it is only off by default, not removed completely!

Got this installed except for the same error I see here (http://mangolassi.it/topic/6319/elastix-4-install-errors-with-sqlite-unable-to-update-admin-password/6) Any resolution to this?

The database asterisk is there with a table called "ampusers" where it looks like passwords are stored in a field called "password_sha1".

I had no luck with UPDATE (ing) that table and setting password_sha1=SHA1("newpassword") WHERE user="admin"

Feels so close.

@scottalanmiller tried removing this section, but then no password is set for the admin account. I seem installed, but cannot log in. . Am trying on digitalocean as well with centOS 7.

Also, the line "systemctl enable httpd.server" produces file not found error.

@nick what does rpm -qa | grep httpd return?

@nick Hello, i´m too in the same part of problem... please if you have any update, let me know. regards!

I get that request:

[root@78 ~]# rpm -qa | grep httpd
httpd-2.4.6-40.el7.centos.x86_64
httpd-tools-2.4.6-40.el7.centos.x86_64

httpd-tools-2.4.6-40.el7.centos.x86_64

So systemctl enable httpd.server doesn't work but systemctl start httpd.server does?

rialejo

@scottalanmiller I think no...

[root@78 ~]# systemctl start httpd.server
Failed to start httpd.server.service: Unit httpd.server.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

&

[root@78 ~]# systemctl enable httpd.server
Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory

scottalanmiller

If it fails to start, how are you getting to the web page shown in the example?

scottalanmiller

Try systemctl start httpd
