BUG update-programs script fails

[Dan Lawrence]

I'm starting up a new instance of PiAF green over at RentPBX. I'm following along on the "Getting Started with PBX in a Flash" over at http://nerdvittles.dreamhosters.com/pbxinaflash/ (tangent: what's the deal with links on that page that don't go anywhere?).

I've installed traveling man 3 and now I'm jumping in at step 6 which is:
Update Your Server to Current Spec. Complete your install by running update-programs and then update-fixes after logging into your server as root.

However, when I run the update-programs script it seems that pbx-scripts.tar.gz isn't available on any of the mirrors.

So I tried running the update-fixes script thinking that might update the mirror list and solve the problem, but it has the same failure.

Is this a matter of RentPBX using a old image? It can't be possible that all the mirrors are down, right?

You were attempting to download pbx-scripts.tar.gz

I checked the first mirror location (http://www.pbxinaflash.us/piaf6/programs/) from my desktop PC which has a good and working internet connection. I get a 404 error there.

I then checked connectivity from the PiAF box and I can ping the mirror server so I don't think this is a connectivity issue.

I searched the knowledge base over at rentpbx but couldn't find anything on the matter there.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Well, RentPBX replied to the ticket I opened with them and it's not on their end. They suggested maybe PiAF is no longer supporting 2.x and suggested maybe trying 3.x. Is there a stable green release that is considered 3.x?

Those would work great if I were building this from the ground up on my own hardware, but in this case I am at the mercy of what images RentPBX has on tap. I could do a self install there, but I'd rather have a base that has already been tweaked to work with their VM environment.

At their suggestion, I'm going to switch their image of PiAF 3.6.5 which is Scientific Linux based. I wanted to stick with the CentOS base since that seems to be where the PiAF development is working.

Scientific Linux works just as well as CentOS and is in fact very close to it. Frankly, I don't recall any operating system issues with PIAF on a pure SIP system - the only thing I've ever seen was a problem getting DAHDI drivers to work on certain kernel versions from Sangoma (which took a while to figure out but was not ultimately difficult to work around). I think you'll find everything works fine in that environment.
