Asterisk/FreePBX on an OpenVZ/Virtuozzo Virtual Private Server (VPS)

Submitted by admin on Thu, 10/15/2009 - 17:17

This install procedure can be used in a generic OpenVZ or Virtuozzo environment or inside an all in one OpenVZ installer+GUI product such as Proxmox VE.  I am not sure how relevant it would be for Xen.  This guide covers the installation INSIDE an already created OpenVZ/Virtuozzo container (VPS sans Operating System) which would then become a functioning Virtual Private Server (VPS).  I will not be covering the OpenVZ host setup or iptables or zaptel/dahdi setup inside or outside the OpenVZ environment.

FreePBX Install Guide (CentOS v5.x, Asterisk v1.6.x, FreePBX)

Submitted by admin on Sun, 06/08/2008 - 14:43

UPDATED for Asterisk v1.6.2 and FreePBX v2.8

Includes every detail in the form of step by step instructions from bare metal to a running VoIP PBX in about 2 hours.

When installing Linux, do NOT install a GUI such as Gnome or KDE.  We only want to be running in console text mode not GUI graphics mode.  If you already have a desktop or server GUI installed you will want to exit to console mode.  You do that by typing init 3 from a terminal or console window.  You will need to be logged in as root in order to do this so if not you can su root.  All instructions in this guide are assuming you are always logged in as root.

OpenSIPS and Control Panel Install Guide

Submitted by admin on Sun, 08/07/2011 - 18:53

This install guide was tested using the Redhat Enterprise Linux v5 distribution known as CentOS . 

 

Most of the install procedures for OpenSIPS assume Debian.  I prefer working with RHEL which is the reason for this install procedure.  This guide should work on Debian with some minor modifications but I haven't tried.

Replace TFTP with FTP for SIP phone configuration

Submitted by admin on Thu, 06/02/2011 - 12:29

These are my notes on how I replace TFTP with FTP for Aastra SIP phone configuration files on a Redhat Enterprise Linux server.  With the TFTP port exposed to the internet and no IP restrictions for remote phone configuration the directory is wide open. This makes it easy for someone to obtain extension passwords.

Integrate Flash Operator Panel v2 into FreePBX

Submitted by admin on Fri, 05/20/2011 - 19:11

This guide will explain how to replace Flash Operator Panel v1, which is included in FreePBX, with Flash Operator Panel v2 on a RedHat Enterprise Linux server running Asterisk+FreePBX.  It is important to note that FOP1 is completely free whereas FOP2 is free only up to 15 buttons.  Every element is considered a button.  So all extensions + trunks + queues + parking lots + etc. must add up to 15 or less.  After that no more buttons will appear until you buy a license.

A key advantage of FOP2 is that it requires an extension and password to view.  With FOP1 there is no built in way to prevent everyone from viewing the PBX status.

How to create a Redhat Enterprise Linux OpenVZ Template

Submitted by admin on Mon, 04/18/2011 - 15:02

This guide is a reference for myself on how to create a RedHat Enterprise Linux v6 template for OpenVZ.  I am publishing it in case others find it useful.  There are other ways and variations on how one can go about this.  The method I will present here is the way I do it.

In this case I used the recompiled from source distribution known as Scientific Linux.  This guide should work equally well for any distribution including Redhat, CentOS etc.  It also works for v5 with a few minor changes or omissions which should be obvious.
