Building Elastix MT via RPM Repo

JaredBusch

@JaredBusch

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

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.

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

@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...

@rialejo Welcome to MangoLassi!

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!

@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?

norojoshi

@scottalanmiller yes same trunks ..Anu suggestions

What trunk provider?

norojoshi

Voicebuy.com and local sip provider

Can somebody mention how to set the mysql password?

In he directory /var/www/elastixdir/asteriskconf

there is a file elastix_pbx.conf, which shows

DBNAME = elxpbx
DBUSER = asteriskuser
DBPASSWORD = palosanto
DBHOST = localhost

But NO mysql database is found in the mysql ????????

Did you run my script? It asks for the MySQL password at the end of the script. Sets automatically.

That means that you are missing packages in nearly all cases.

I did follow all the steps mentioned in the blackbox above & rebooted the server. Did not get any prompt to set passwords! What am I missing??

Just realized this is the MT, not the Elastix 4 thread. This script is old, the Elastix 4 one was just updated to fix issues.
