Building Elastix MT via RPM Repo

@scottalanmiller this is the tutorial I was following.

Report any issues or questions on that thread.
yum -y install epel-release
yum -y install fail2ban htop sysstat glances wget screen
yum -y update
cd /tmp
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/elastix/files/Elastix PBX Appliance Software/3.0.0/latest/Elastix-3.0.0-Stable-x86_64-bin-10nov2014.iso/download
mv download elastixmt.iso
mkdir -p /mnt/elastixmt
mount -o loop /tmp/elastixmt.iso /mnt/elastixmt
cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/Elastix.repo <<EOF

cd /mnt/elastixmt/Elastix
for i in $(ls); do yum -y install $i; done
for i in $(ls); do yum -y install $i; done
/etc/init.d/mysqld start
/etc/init.d/elastix-firstboot start && reboot -
That suggests that one of these two lines failed when you ran it. Did you get an error message?
mkdir -p /mnt/elastixmt mount -o loop /tmp/elastixmt.iso /mnt/elastixmtIf you do a df -h we should see if it is mounted or not.

@scottalanmiller Thanks for the script! I was able to install Elastix MT on a cloud server from Digital Ocean running CentOS 6.8 64-bit. I am having an issue and I was wondering if you could help me. I am trying to configure the server, and the first step I usually do is set up the Email > Remote SMTP. I usually use a gmail account, but I am getting an error saying that it "Failed to send hello command" and it won't let me keep the status to ON. I am at a loss... Do you have some light you can shed to this? Thank you in advance for your time and response.
P.S > I think the script ran successfully, but I got a lot of "Missing; Nothing to do" messages when running the "for i in $(ls); do yum -y install $i; done" commands. In fact, the second time I ran it, it was all about those messages. Nothing really installed. The first time around, it downloaded and ran many items.

Start by testing with mailx. Try this...
yum -y install mailxThen try sending yourself something...
mail -s "This is a test" [email protected] < sometextfile -
@scottalanmiller Thanks for the quick reply! Tried it and it sent me an email (although went straight to my junk folder). Email came from [email protected].

OKay, so the email subsystem is working. That's the first thing. Now... where could the break be after that.....
-
@scottalanmiller Maybe firewall rules?
-
You can turn off the firewall to be sure, but no, not realistically. Firewall would not cause that error nor would it impact outgoing SMTP by default.
-
An EXTERNAL firewall would be more likely.
-
@scottalanmiller True. Same outcome as expected whether firewall is off or not. There is no external firewall given this is a cloud-hosted (digital ocean) server, is there?
-
No, no external firewall.
-
Check the logs, I would expect this error to get logged. Maybe start a tail follow on the logs and trigger the error, see if it gets logged.
-
@scottalanmiller Ok, I think I got it. Per http://bugs.elastix.org/view.php?id=2549:
Starting with PHPMailer v5.2.7, the default HELO hostname is not set anymore to 'localhost' if not supplied on the Hello() function... This generates that the Elastix remotesmtp configuration checker ends up sending an empty HELO/EHLO command, which makes Gmail (and probably many other SMTP servers) really unhappy.
A possible solution would be to modify /var/www/html/modules/remote_smtp/libs/paloSantoEmailRelay.class.php on line 156:
if(!$smtp->Hello()){
change to:
if(!$smtp->Hello(getHostname())){
If you are using the Multi Tenant version the location is /usr/share/elastix/apps/remote_smtp/libs/paloSantoEmailRelay.class.php
Changed that and it worked. However, whenever I create a new organization and the email is sent to the "admin", I never receive anything... what could it be now? Any ideas? Thanks!
