STEP 4 : Install Freepbx (working script from xdm and slightly modified)

When prompted, MySQL root password is passw0rd

Code:

#!/bin/bash

# you need to update these version numbers from the Asterisk download site to make sure
# the current version is being installed (www.asterisk.com/downloads)

VER_FREEPBX="2.7.0";

KERNEL_VERSION=`uname -r`

STEP 5 : Only required for Asterisk below version 1.6.2.9

Edit /etc/init.d/asterisk
Search for "COLOR=yes" and Comment it out with #

Now Reboot your Dockstar to ensure all permissions are refreshed before testing Freepbx.  Thats it.  Let me know if you find any errors.  

EDIT 1: If you dont need FOP, you can save 10-15M memory by not using amportal start/stop. Use /etc/init.d/asterisk start/stop/restart instead.

I encountered the following problems with step 4:

Connecting to database..FAILED


cp: cannot stat `/var/www/admin/modules/dashboard/images/notify_*': No such file or directory

[klingon]

cp: cannot stat `/var/www/admin/modules/dashboard/images/notify_*': No such file or directory

This error will not cause a connection failure.  You must've missed a step somewhere when you set up your SQL databases.  These are only images for Freepbx and worst can happen is that you can still get to the main Freepbx page but it will be missing some images.

Also, is this a brand new install?  Otherwise, you need to be careful of all the symlinks.  You need to delete all previous symlinks before going thru the steps.  I'd suggest you delete the 2 databases asteriskcdrdb and asterisk and redo the script.

At prompt, type in "mysql -u root -p" - Enter your MySQL root password - shld be "passw0rd" (without the quotes - passw zero rd) unless you used something else.
mysql> drop database asterisk;
mysql> drop database asteriskcdrdb;
mysql> quit

During the last step of the install, just press ENTER for all the prompts.  The only time you need to type in an answer is at the prompt "MySQL root password: "  For this, you need to enter "passw0rd" (without the quotes - passw zero rd).  Also, I would suggest you not change any passwords for now until you get it up and running.  Stick to the defaults.  Since Step 4 is a script, I'm guessing you must've used a different password and that's probably why you cannot connect to the DB.  Hope this fixes it.

Ok dokie. Freepbx is now running on my DockStar. After the last error messages I did the following:

1) deleted /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3
2) renamed /etc/amportal.conf to /etc/amportal.old.conf
3) dropped the 2 databases you called out
4) re-run the step4 script and this time accepted all suggested user names and passwords
5) re-booted (twice because I have toggle boot)

Success!

(Possible suggestion for the scripts: either have a CLEANUP option or check for existence of files, directories etc and prompt user to remove them to prevent errors)

Thanks!

[klingon]

Awesome...glad it worked out.  I also managed to get Google Voice working as well on the Dockstar. Thanks to all the blunders I learned from my pbxinaflash installs over these years.  Will post those instructions as soon as I get the time.

[JohnDoe]

Thanks to klingon and all the others for getting it this far.

Can't wait to read how to setup Google voice, As I am a novice user should I wait for a disk image or should I look to drive in and try and get my hands dirty I wont be able to contrib much in terms of development but happy to do write ups and test a few things.

[mattmc97]

I would recommend trying the scripts out and see what you can accomplish. You will definitely learn some things on the way.

I would get debian installed on your usb or sd card and then take an image of that with a program like win32diskimager on windows.

That way if you jack something up, you don't have to start from scratch.

Try the scripts, test google voice, find something else cool to add; whatever seems fun for you to do.  There is also the wiki, that needs a bunch of work. I started with the plug windows guide, but no one has added anything else yet.

I completed step 4 successfully.  I tested the Freepbx web admin page and it worked.  I rebooted and my Docstar now fails to boot from the USB drive. 

[klingon]

I completed step 4 successfully.  I tested the Freepbx web admin page and it worked.  I rebooted and my Docstar now fails to boot from the USB drive. 

Try this :

Reboot without your USB drive
Once successfully booted to Pogoplug, plug in your USB drive and wait 10 secs
Then reboot

System may need to reboot a few times as it does fsck checks of your system.

I've set my blparam to boot only to USB drive but then you'll need a serial cable if something fails as it will never boot back into Pogoplug.

[txcas]

I installed everything again, this time on different media.  It is all working now.  Thanks a lot.  I can't wait for the Google Voice script.  This time I created a disk image after each step, so I can go back if I screw up.  I do have the Nokia CA-42 cable, I need to cut it and connect it to the Dockstar so I can make it boot directly to USB.

[txcas]

Is the Freepbx Panel supposed to work?  I get Couldn't load variables.txt?aldope=40216 when I try to go there from the Freepbx admin page.

[klingon]

Yes, everything works.  The regular startup uses /etc/init.d/asterisk which does not start the FOP panel.  Do an amportal restart but as I mentioned in another post, unless you use FOP, this sucks up a fair chunk of our limited RAM.

[txcas]

Thanks for the answer.

[PlugPBX Admin]

We could borrow some interesting things being done with this script as well FYI!

First of all, thank you very much for the step-by-step instructions, klingon.  It really helps a newbie like me to not have to search around for info.

At prompt, type in "mysql -u root -p" - Enter your MySQL root password - shld be "passw0rd" (without the quotes - passw zero rd) unless you used something else.

I'm not sure if "passw0rd" was specified in an earlier step or not when installing MySQL.  I didn't see that in earlier instructions (during "apt-get -y install mysql-server" in step 2) but might have missed it.  So, when MySQL was configured, I just left the password for "root" defaulted which turned out to be blank, i.e. no password, and I just hit the "Enter" key whenever prompted for the "root" password for MySQL when Asterisk was installed/configured.
