Well first let me start out by saying I love FreePBX over any other Asterisk GUI. That said, why is it so damn hard to find any good documentation on how to install it on Ubuntu (12.04) or any other OS other then CentOS? Every website that I search has a different set of instructions and which none of them work.
Is it really that difficult to have a site that has !COMPLETE! How to’s on a few major distros?
I am mean COMPLETE!!! As in Dependencies (sqlite3, mysql,PHP5, etc…), Asterisk, DAHDI, LibPRI, FreePBX,
I think this would be a great help to many people out there would benefit greatly from this, including myself. I am even willing to help.
Now that I got that out. I have Asterisk 11 installed on Ubuntu 12.04LTS.
What dependencies do I need to fulfill and how do I configure FreePBX 2.11 beta to work with Asterisk and SQLite3? other then ./start_asterisk start and ./install_amp?
unless you know what you are doing I suggest you:-
AMPDBENGINE = mysql
after installing mysql server. sqlite is only needed for the replacement of berkleydb in newer asterii
You will also need to reconfigure the apache2 user from www-data to asterisk an the webroot to /var/www/html or (harder) change it in FreePBX install. harder as FreePBX still had some hardcoded Centos Based assumptions the last time I looked.
i dont mind using mysql, but I am under the assumption that i have to use sqlite with asterisk 11. Is that not the case?
And for the record i prefer the coding part, but document part would be nice, just saying… heck I would even write them up for you if they gave me all the info.
I have a VM with Ubuntu 12.04LTS 64-bit and have complied DADHI, LibPRI, and, Asterisk 11 all from source. Asterisk is up and running and everything is good. The problem now is how to get FreePBX 2.11 installed and communicating with Asterisk 11.
For me following my previous suggestions got it working, use mysql and change your apache2 configuration to be congruent with Centos thinking, you will save a lot of time .
I have done everything in the correct order. As I mentioned before everything else is online. Just need to know what are the dep’s for FreePBX 2.11 and if install procedures are the same. As in: ./start_asterisk start and ./install_amp
Well, Ubuntu uses a varient on “standard” startup scripts (upstart) so you will need to make sure asterisk is running as asterisk:asterisk and you will have to contend with whether you use safe_asterisk or rely on your init script. There are quite a few steps to go yet.
