Building Elastix 4 via RPM Repo
-
Hey guys, sorry for how long this took. I've got a working process for this now. It isn't great, but it works. I'm sure it can be improved, but for now, it seems to work. The issue is that the right RPMs are not all there and the one that creates the database is missing. Getting it documented soon.
-
Thanks @scottalanmiller -- So the basic practice is to install via cd locally, and then replace the missing files?
I read somewhere that rpm support for elastix 4 is beginning at the end of the month, so maybe we'll have full proper rpm support by monday?

No, the CD isn't even needed. Sort of
There is an RPM directory that is all that is needed. The CD has it, but you can do without if you have a source for it.

Script has been updated and is tested as working for me. Just run on a fresh server and log in when completed.

Success!
Has anyone had any luck installing any addons? -

HI Scott,
Installed the E 4 perfectly with your script! Thanks for the work!. Does any one has done any IVR with information coming from a mysql database such as IT data.
-
@scottalanmiller Thanks a lot! its working fine, but its posible that somthing is wrong? I cant log in any endpoint... maybe I am... but this endpoint it was looged to another elastix, i just create the same number user and pas... and i only change the ip on it... but say timeout error...
-
I have no idea why anyone would even consider using this product
A "stable" PBX that does not even correctly install?
Why, the website cannot even load in english.
-
Also, did some one not say there were errors using the ISO?
How stable is it then?

Endpoint meaning phone or from the web interface?

Using the ISO as a repo, not in installing from the ISO AFAIK.
-
@scottalanmiller Yes, i mean ip phone or softphone.

lack of Linux knowledge here - why would you use the ISO as a repo instead of just installing from the ISO?

Hosted provider that does not let you install from your own ISO.
-
@JaredBusch Aww.. so that sorta makes sense, but why use the ISO? because they don't have their own repo?

Correct, there is no repo at all for Elastix 4. But even if there was a repo, it would have to contain not just the updated packages but the installer files. Even when there is a repo, this is not always the case. But for Elastix 2, we don't use the ISO. It's only for Elastix 4 that it is currently required, I believe.

Exactly as Jared said here. No enterprise hosting servers (that I know of) lets you bring your own ISO for stability and performance reasons. They need hooks into your system that that would break. So installing onto generic is pretty important.

What kinds of hooks do they get into the system?

Well in some cases, a PV kernel. In many it is things like the ability to reset the root password, insert keys, check for memory utilization, determine if the CPU is hung, etc.
