These instructions are outdated and don't work
Somebody seriously need to fix these instructions. They are outdated and don't work.
For example, zaptel doesn't get installed the way it says here (maybe if you have a zaptel device, it will, but for only ztdummy it doesn't). Similarly when you reach to 'mysqld start', you find out that it is not working either, although it is installed on your system. Apparently these instructions were written for some old version of CestOS, not for 5.1. I gave up after trying for a whole day, and will install trixbox instead.
They are not that old. A
They are not that old. A less then a month old. Some edits just occured a little over a week ago. drmessano I know has several boxes all built after the first of this year using these instructions so they should work.
It is possible that there is a step or two missing by accident. So before accusing somebody of something like posting old instructions it would have been helpful to have posted questions about exactly why your build didn't work at step x, describe what your issue is and how you ran into it. I know he is a very helpful person and would have gladly responded to any request for more information or help if it was just asked.
Yes last I knew he was using zaptel based hardware so that might be one issue is you are not. The other is it looks like he missed a single line before:
make install
that should have:
make
to build the zaptel code. Which if you read the README in the zaptel tarball it would have shown you that.
99% of all posts on this site are from fellow users here and you are getting his information for free. So please be kind to others.
another fellow user.
My apologizes.. Something
My apologizes.. Something got lost in translation when I posted this from the doc I keep.
I started off with the old 4.x install guide on another site, and painfully updated it as I went during the 5.1 install. The instructions are not far from the 4.x, but there are very obvious updated between the two, so it actually WORKS on 5.1.
Please let me know if you have any more problems.
Error during installation process
Hello,
I'm trying to follow your installation procedure.
Some info about my box:
MB: M2N-SLI Deluxe ASUS
CPU: AMD64 4.8 GHz
Here's the output of "make config" when configuring zaptel:
Zaptel has been configured.
If you have any zaptel hardware it is now recommended to
edit /etc/default/zaptel or /etc/sysconfig/zaptel and set there an
optimal value for the variable MODULES .
I think that the zaptel hardware you have on your system is:
pci:0000:01:08.0 zaphfc- 1397:2bd0 HFC-S ISDN BRI card
The following step (/sbin/ztcfg) reports one error, which I don't know how to solve:
Notice: Configuration file is /etc/zaptel.conf
line 0: Unable to open master device '/dev/zap/ctl'
1 error(s) detected
Thanks anticipately for your help.
Modprobe wasn't run...
Try this at a terminal prompt:
modprobe wctdm
That should create the /dev/zap/* stuff.

Do you Guys Know Why?
Thank you

can not access /admin from localhost
Your instruction is really good, although it still can be better if more details can be presented.
After follow your instruction, and spend couple of days, now I almost reach the end of the game. Now I face the permission problem, when I try to access the http://localhost, I can not access any one of the three choice.
I try to change the .htaccess, it didn't work, I try to log in as root or asterisk user, no luck.
Could you please give me some hint, thanks in advance.
Re : can not access /admin from localhost
just change the permission inside "/var/www/html" with user "asterisk" by using "chown" command.
pidof: command not found
Hi All,
I've followed the install instructions for CentOS 5.1 and get to the install_amp. I get the following.
[root@localhost freepbx-2.3.1]# ./install_amp --username=asteriskuser --password=SOMEPASSWORD
Checking for PEAR DB..OK
Checking for PEAR Console::Getopt..OK
Using username: asteriskuser
Using password: ************
Checking user..OK
Checking if Asterisk is running..sh: pidof: command not found
FAILED
[FATAL] ./install_amp
Asterisk must be running. If this is a first time install, you should start
Asterisk by typing './start_asterisk start'
For upgrading, you should run 'amportal start'
If i run the start_asterisk start i get the following.
STARTING ASTERISK
./start_asterisk: line 36: pidof: command not found
./start_asterisk: line 18: pidof: command not found
./start_asterisk: line 18: pidof: command not found
Asterisk Started
[root@localhost freepbx-2.3.1]# /sbin/pidof asterisk

Any assistance would be great...
Thanks in advance
SGT.
pidof: command not found
"pidof" command is located in "/sbin" and default PATH for centos 5.1 doesn't include "/sbin" as its path, so you have to add it manual by using "export PATH=(directory)".
Reports is grayed out
I had it working fine, but since a few days ago, the reports section is grayed out. I tried to reinstall everything, but it does not work. Th addons are installed, and mysql is working. I have 15 virtual units , here is the strange part, all of them have the same issue. Please give me a clue as how can this happen. My clients are fuming. I don't feel that I need to pay for support twice on the same issue.
