Installing FreePBX with multiple Asterisk Servers

General Help
1

Scenario:

2 Astersisk Servers
1 Web Server
1 Database Servers

How does FreePBX implement into an environment such as this?

Thanks,

freepbx uses MYsql to uild the .conf so install it on both or
map the mysql database to a single point…

Each Asterisk box has its own web server for FreePBX. You could share the database box, though.

Thanks for the replies, In my scenario I have a single web server is it possible to utilize a single web server to manage both asterisk systems? The primary reason I ask this is due to the fact that I would have to have 2 FOP’s running in order to handle the switchboard across 2 asterisk servers.

Thanks,

Actually, its the other way around: Each FreePBX box needs to be managed by a local webserver (so that it can write files out properly). However, you can have one FOP server monitoring multiple Asterisk boxes (though, you need to manually configure FOP for this instead of using the FreePBX auto-generated config).

I have a single FOP monitoring 4 separate Asterisk boxes, with over 70 extensions, 32 incoming lines, 12 conferences and one queue. :slight_smile:

can you please be a little more specific how do you configure each freepbx or trunks to link the asterisk boxes without having to put hands on annoying code lines?

I want to know how you define the inter asterisk connection (i suppose IAX) in the freepbx, and how you make unknown extension lookups in the other asterisk boxes? IAX trunk?

Is there out a wiki, or a help to do this in freepbx?

you should look at IAX trunking and Dundi

You also have the asterisk API so you could just just write your own GUI

I really should put this in the Wiki at some point. You don’t need DUNDi for internal routing, really. As long as your extensions are uniquely numbered, its pretty easy.

Essentially, you create an IAX2 trunk from each server to each other server. Then, create an Outbound Route for the destination extension range for each trunk.

For example, if you have Site A with extensions 300 - 399 and Site B with extensions 400 - 499. You create an Outbound Route on the Site A server with the code 4XX pointing to the IAX2 trunk to Site B.

I think you are scrwued…

the webserver (freepbx for that matter) nees to be on the exact same
computer that runs asterisk.

But you can alwais proxy one to the other… :-p

good luck,.
