What does not get installed

To be implemented

How do I install and activate the script

To install the script copy and past the following lines to your Linux CLI 

yum -y install wget
wget http://www.klaverstyn.com.au/asterisk/script/aster-install.sh
wget http://www.klaverstyn.com.au/asterisk/script/aster-values
chmod +x aster-install.sh

Edit the file aster-values to suite your needs, then run aster-install.sh 

./aster-install.sh install

What is aster-values

aster-values is the data file that contains the version of the applications that you want to install.

Editing aster-values

The file has the following sections:

  • Asterisk version
  • Codec type for sound files
  • MySQL user and database details
  • phpsysinfo
  • OS updates
  • Internode repository
  • email address for logwatch
  • spanDSP version
  • FOP version and username/password details

Once you open the file and look at its contents it becomes self explanatory.

Testing Installation

Asterisk Functional

From the Linux CLI type in: 

asterisk -r

If you are entered into the Asterisk CLI then you know Asterisk has been installed correctly. If asterisk did not start it could possibly be the cause of an incompatible g729/3 codec. Edit aster-values and change the value of Install_g72x to equal no.

g729, g723 codec

If you see a dash under the g729 or g723 column then the codec is not installed.

                                      version 1.4.17.x.  The module app_confcall fails to build.
                                    * Due to the new agx-ast-addons version, the requirment of spanDSP is 0.0.6 pre 12 ONLY.

            aster-values            * With the release of spanDSP version 0.0.6pre12 aster-values has been updated.

20090424    spandsp                 * In their wisdom the file locations for the spandsp files have been moved.  The script has
                                      been updated to use the new structure.  spandsp-0.0.6pre10 has also been released and
