Building Elastix 4 via RPM Repo

scottalanmiller

And its true.. im asked the same, it say error to enable that but showme the initial webpage...

It's because you are getting the name wrong. The .server is not part of the name. Remove that.

rialejo

systemctl start httpd

To access your Elastix System, using a separate workstation (PC/MAC/Linux)
Open the Internet Browser using the following URL:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx

[root@li1307-78 ~]# systemctl start httpd
[root@li1307-78 ~]#

I tried restarting the service httpd, no luck. I think http server is working because it serves the login page no problem. The troublesome error happens when the first_boot script tries to set the Elastix admin password where there is an sql_lite command that produces error acl_users table not found.

I tried login: admin, password: palosanto to no avail. Going to try doing a fresh start with the httpd service line corrected, and will advise.

error on httpd resolved.
After running firstboot script, I get:

The password for mysql and cyrus admin were successfully changed!

@rialejo I have the same result from rpm -qa | grep httpd

nick

I owe a coffee to whoever can fix this issue

scottalanmiller

I'm trying to get to a point that I can do a fresh build. Got a couple of things demanding my attention in the queue in front of it, I'm afraid.

The solution is to not use a product it's not going to be supported

@scottalanmiller After restarting several times, I finally made a snapshot on digital ocean just after downloading the ISO. It feels like I have saved my game just before a big boss.

nick

any luck @rialejo ?
I may try 3.5 instead of 4...

There is no 3.5. The 3 series was renamed MT and is meant for a completely different purpose. If you want 4, but an older version, you need the 2 series.

Elastix MT is for multi-tenant hosting environments.

Elastix 4 is the as of yet unreleased updated to Elastix 2.5 which is a standard single tenant PBX.

scottalanmiller

Oh yeah, Elastix 4 just dropped. I've only worked with RC3. Getting this up and running will be a much higher priority now. Stay tuned

rialejo

@nick cool! so now we must to undertund why that step is not working... No, not yet... im was tring to edit the password but im not sure about the file that content that... i mean in some parts say a command with a file address... but giveme no such file:

sqlite3 /var/www/db/acl.db "UPDATE acl_user SET md5_password='5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99' WHERE name='admin'"

nick

@rialejo I've seen this fix --- it looks promising, but in my asterisk database, I don't have a table called acl_users. ..getting close.

rialejo

@nick That was my point... I suppose that exist any file that have this specific information to edit... now the work it’s to find it, to edit like the command say... until now I can’t find anything else... if have lucky I will post here...

rialejo

@nick I think that i have the solution!

I copied from the other Elastix 2.5 the file with size 0 in the Elastix 4, and paste on it... is not the most fabulous solution but works... help me to check if all its working... because its the firt time that I open it...

The file address is : /var/www/db

the file that i copied was:
acl.db
iptables.db
menu.db
register.db
dashboard.db
samples.db
settings.db

It was for my case, maybe it dont copy whit the same issue...

Try and let me know!!

I´m thinking that the best is to run the Elastix 4 over VirtualBox, and copy the file from there and paste on the final server... in my case is in a hosted server... just to be sure that all the file match perfect with the version.

Regards!

nick

I can confirm that replacing all of these files with their equivalent versions from a working version of Elastix 2.5 does indeed allow me to log in, and I can (for the first time) see Elastix 4.

Not overly comfortable with this as a "solution" but thanks for sharing

nick

I almost immediately begin experiencing errors such as:
"Error de conexion a la base de datos - Array ( [0] => HY000 [1] => 8 [2] => attempt to write a readonly database )"

and it is does not seem possible to install addons such as "Call Center" ... Addons menu has error "Query Error SELECT * FROM action_tmp"

When installing "Call Center": The column 'has_account' does not exist and could not be created

The backend does look very nice though.

rialejo

@nick For that reason, I recommend to copy from the same version but in a VirtualBox... that´s the common and easy way to run and get all the file that can match exactly with this installation... untill now it is the only way that i know to full run...

Regards!

nick

So in order to get Elastix 4 running, all I need is a copy of Elastix 4 that is running. Gotcha.
