jeff.h: You must be a mind-reader. It's in the updated download now together with the create-swapfile-DO script. Will check on the other errors.

LOL that is the second time today that I have been called a mind reader.... I better pick up a lottery ticket!

More bunny hat tricks added. 4 p.m. build and tarball should now work with CentOS 6.5. Testing as we speak...

 

[jeff.h]

Ok... about to start my commute home. Will play with it later tonight.... uhm.... wait... that didn't come out right.....

 

[wardmundy]

Let me get through a successful build before you start. I'll post a note when it's confirmed to be working. Then I won't owe you another penny.

 

[wardmundy]

Pay dirt. Go for it! Just follow the revised NV tutorial. And use 64-bit CentOS 6.5 or 7.

Everything seems to be OK, but I get this......

Fixed. File got whacked somehow. Should work the next time you log in... or just run these commands once, and you'll have everything:

service iptables restart
service ip6tables restart
chkconfig iptables on
chkconfig ip6tables on
iptables-restart

If you're on CentOS 7, add the following:

systemctl disable firewalld.service
systemctl stop firewalld.service

I just logged out and logged back in and it ran.... looks like everything is working like a champ.

This might have been stated somewhere else but it was news to me, Centos 7 does not run in 32bit environments and Centos may or may not release a 32bit version. So if you are using a resource starved device that won't run a 64bit OS to load PBXIAF, don't waste your time downloading 7 as you will need to stick with the 32bit 6.5 version. Or you might think about going with Ubuntu 14.04 as that is available in a 32bit version.

Edit 8-7-14: The new installer for Centos 7 won't install to a 32bit environment anyway, it tells you in the beginning it's for 64 bit systems only.

I have always been curious about the 4 iax fax trunks that show as being online, but I can never seem to figure out where they are actually located. I dont see them in the Ubuntu version of iPBX and thought that it must have been a result of installing the old iPBX on top of PIAF, but I see them in CentOS installs using the standalone iPBX installer.

It's driving my OCD crazy

And while we are on the subject. I just installed a fresh copy on CentOS 7 and see this in extension 701...

ERROR: No FAX modules detected!
Fax-related dialplan will NOT be generated.
This module requires Fax for Asterisk (res_fax_digium.so) or spandsp based app_fax (res_fax_spandsp.so) to function.

 

[gherbstman]

I am seeing the same FAX error as above.
Also seeing an issue with EndPoint manager not able to download any packages. Switching to GIT mode does work however.

I just signed up for cloud at cost and installed the script on centos 7 but I am missing asterisk. I dont see in script how asterisk is installed. SO asterisk ccommand does no work and there is no asterisk dir in /var/log.

 

[markieb]

Are Schmooze modules still considered iffy or possibly broken on Centos 7?

 

[jeff.h]

I still have the fax error noted above if that is part of your question.
