Debian package?

I am trying to install FreePBX from source ; it has been my 3rd try today.
I give up. Is there any debian package that I can use to install FreePBX on Debian Lenny ?

is all the time because of this “use of uninitialised value” problem?
If yes this might get sorted out first, before you can get a working installation…
If you did it 3 times do you care to go ahead and try Asterisk 1.4 to see if problem persists?

hanke.

I tried also ASterisk 1.4.19 and 1.4.18
I tried to build Asterisk from source and the result is same.
I used also debian package of Asterisk

There is a weird problem when I try to install the Asterisk debian package (1.4.19)

While setting up I see the /etc/asterisk folder as below:

When the installation is finished, the folder becomes:

router:~# ls -al /etc/asterisk/
total 48
drwxr-xr-x 2 asterisk asterisk 4096 2008-05-15 01:03 .

-rw-r----- 1 asterisk asterisk 24192 2008-04-23 16:31 zapata.conf

Why is this ?

ok; this time problem is different

I installed asterisk and all required modules (asterisk-mysql , asterisk-mp3 , asterisk-sounds etc.) with Debian’s package manager.
Asterisk runs fine.
I can stop and restart it.

Then I run the FreePBX’s “install_amp” script.
Ok, I can reach the FreePBX GUI and Asterisk keeps running.

Then I stop Asterisk with the init script “/etc/init.d/asterisk stop”

But now , Asterisk does not start with script "/etc/init.d/asterisk start"
It seems to start:

router:/usr/src/freepbx-2.4.0# /etc/init.d/asterisk start
Starting Asterisk PBX: asterisk.

However, “asterisk” is not seen in processes :

router:/usr/src/freepbx-2.4.0# ps -ef | grep aster
root 11475 10815 0 21:02 pts/2 00:00:00 grep aster
router:/usr/src/freepbx-2.4.0#

I dont understand what happens.
Before running FreePBX install script , I can stop and start Asterisk successfully.
After the FreePBX install , I can’t…

My logfile shows:

check the end of the /var/log/asterisk/full log file to see why it is stopping with some kind of error within the last few lines of the file.

when I try to start Asterisk with FreePBX 's start_asterisk script I get these continiously :

router:/usr/src/freepbx-2.4.0# ./start_asterisk start

fskrotzki ,

I’ve posted it above.

any ideas ?
I need help, please :frowning:

I am literally tied. Can’t go further…

How can I troubleshoot this ?

thanks
